This is Tamahome/Taka and Miaka from FUSHIGI YUUGI. This show captured my interest very quickly. In my opinion it is the best anime/manga ever. The creator of this series is Yuu Watase. She was born in 1970. Her current manga series AYASHI NO CERES has been quite good and just completed. It will be animated as well. The animated series premieres April 20, 2000. FUSHIGI YUUGI manga ran in SHOJO COMIC as did AYASHI NO CERES.
The cast of SAILOR MOON from the fifth and final season of the anime. It's creator is Naoko Takeuchi. She was born in 1967. I enjoy her stories as well. My favorite characters being Jupiter, Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Mercury. SAILOR MOON ran in NAKAYOSHI.
The three heroines of MAGIC KNIGHTS RAYEARTH: Fu, Hikaru, and Umi. Clamp- a group of four women artists and writers created it. Mokona Appa is the primary artist The women were born between 1967 Nanase (the main writer), and 1969 Mikku (assistant artist). Mokona was born in 1968. Clamp's current manga CARD CATCHER SAKURA is running in RIBBON. Magic Knights is my favorite of their manga with RG VEDA a close second. Fu is my favorite character from Magic Knights.
Gieve and Pharangese from ARSLAN SENKI (Heroic Legend of Arislan in English) I liked these charcters the best. Arslan takes place in what appears to be the ancient Middle East. The manga was by Chisato Nakamura, and the anime art by Sachiko Kimura. The manga ran in ASUKA COMICS DX.
Ranma and Akane from RANMA 1/2. This was by Rumiko Takahashi. She was born in 1957. Her current series INU YASHA is being translated and published in the US by VIZ. I have come to enjoy it maybe even more than Ranma 1/2. Akane is my favorite character from Ranma. RANMA 1/2 ran in SHONEN SUNDAY.
This is AH MEGUMISAMA. (AH MY GODDESS in English). My favorite character from this series is Urd. But I like most of the other characters as well, and the romance between Keichi and Belldandy is really touching. It's creator is Kosuke Fujishima. The manga ran in AFTERNOON.
This is Kenshin and Kaoru from RUROUNI KENSHIN. It's manga story recently finished. It just ran on Japanese TV in 1996. I like Kenshin and Kaoru. It's a historical series, set in 1876 Japan. It was created by Nobuhiro Watsuki. The manga ran in JUMP COMICS.
