Rumiko Takahashi Anthology, also known as Rumic Theater, is a manga collective composed of many short stories written and illustrated by Rumiko Takahashi. New stories are published annually in Shogakukan's Big Comic Original magazine since 1987. In Japanese it has been published under several different names, including Takahashi Rumiko Gekijō (高橋留美子劇場) and 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 are manga short stories published periodically by Rumiko Takahashi since 1987. 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. Unmei no Tori (運命の鳥)
