Overview

Shelter. Employment. Companionship. Rumiko Takahashi explores the stress that can befall people when these basic necessities become endangered. From penguins to wedding chapels to amnesiac husbands, each episode explores supposedly normal people under extreme situations with all of the dramatic skill and warped comedy that you expect from the world-famous creator of InuYasha, Ranma 1/2 and Urusei Yatsura! Rumiko Takahashi Anthology consists of thirteen independent series based on short stories from 1987-2000 by Takahashi Rumiko.
