Rumiko Takahashi Anthology, also known as Rumic Theater, is a collective manga of many short stories. In Japanese it has been published under several different names, at least as Takahashi Rumiko gekijō (高橋留美子劇場?) and as Takahashi Rumiko kessakushū (高橋留美子傑作集?). Some editions are numbered 1–3 while other editions are unnumbered. Volume 4 currently only exists in an unnumbered edition. It is also a thirteen episode collection of anime from short stories by Rumiko Takahashi that includes the Mermaid Saga.

Manga

The Rumic Theater anime stories were adapted from a series of short stories published by Rumiko Takahashi in the 1980s. The majority of them are akin to her work Maison Ikkoku, in that they are domestic stories with a unique twist. An English language edition of the first two volumes was released by Viz in 1996. The four volumes published so far have individual titles:

  1. Pii no Higeki (Pの悲劇?)
  2. Semmu no Inu (専務の犬?)
  3. Akai Hanataba (赤い花束?)
  4. Ummei no Tori (運命の鳥?)

New chapters are published in Big Comic Original annually.
