As a director, he oversaw Astro Boy and the first-ever full-color TV anime Kimba the White Lion . Prolific, richly layered, and continuing into the modern day, Rintaro's directorial portfolio in anime TV and cinema is comparable to the history of anime itself. His most recent feature length film, Metropolis , was one of the first anime films to be submitted for consideration for Best Animated Film at the Academy Awards, and the late film critic Roger Ebert, writing for the Chicago Sun-Times, gave Metropolis four out of four stars, calling it \"one of the best animated films I have ever seen.\" In 2023, Rintaro directed a short film for the smaller film festival circuit, \"Manga Movie dedicated to Sadao Yamanaka of ' Nezumikozō Jirokichi' \" about a film director who died at 28 in 1938, and who spurred the Japanese film industry's transition from silent films to talkies. Brief Description : \"An autobiography penned in manga form from legendary anime director Rintaro, spanning his postwar childhood, his directorial debut, and the subsequent hit series and films, up to the present day The unsung legend of Japanese anime, Rintaro. Born in 1941 in Tokyo, Rintaro joined the Japanese animated film company Toei Animation in 1958 at the young age of 17. Even in his humble beginnings, when he was involved in putting the finishing touches on the animated film Legend of the White Serpent, Rintaro made unfathomable waves for anime as we know it, with Hayao Miyazaki citing it as a core inspiration in becoming an animator and director rather than a manga artist. In 1960, Rintaro transferred to Mushi Production, an animation studio established and overseen by the \"god of manga\" Osamu Tezuka himself. He made his directorial debut with the TV anime Astro Boy (1963-66) and served as the chief director for the first-ever full-color TV anime in Japan, Kimba the White Lion, which aired from 1965 and made peerless contributions to the development of technical Japanese anime culture during its early years. Rintaro returned to Toei in 1977 and began work on Jetter Mars. In 1978, his directorial work on Space Pirate Captain Harlock caught the attention of the then-president of Toei Animation, leading to his appointment as the director of the theatrical version of Galaxy Express 999. Released in 1979, this film became a record-breaking hit. After being chosen by Haruki Kadokawa to direct Genma Wars in 1983, Rintaro shifted their main activities to studio Madhouse, directing major films such as The Dagger of Kamui, Yona Yona Penguin, and the critically acclaimed Metropolis.

Influential among the \"New Wave\" manga artists in the late 70s and early 80s, Takano was one of the first women manga artists to publish in outlets not explicitly aimed at a female readership. She won the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize in 2003, and in 2015 she was the second-ever manga artist to win the Iwaya Sazanami Literary Award. She lives in Tokyo. Alexa Frank is an editor and translator of Japanese. A graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop and the Fulbright program, she has translated over twenty volumes of manga, most recently Nazuna Saito's Offshore Lightning (nominated for the 2024 Ignatz Awards), Kyoko Okazaki's River's Edge (nominated for the 2024 Eisner Awards), and Shirakawa Gin's A Story of Seven Lives . She lives in New York. Review Quotes : \"Ruki's gently funny adventures have the appeal of iyashikei (\"healing\") manga, but Takano's exceptional cartooning skills and attention to human detail elevate them to a category all their own. Like the café drinks that Ruki and Ecchan commiserate over, it's a small, perfect treat.\" -- Publishers Weekly \" Miss Ruki is an unconventional manga by a master of the art less known outside of Japan . . . The refreshing simplicity of the storytelling makes for light, liberating reading . . . [ Miss Ruki ] is a treat for anyone interested in Japanese daily life or simply looking for a calm, relaxing read.\" --Ashley Hawkins, Booklist \"Fumiko Takano is one of those artists who becomes everyone's little secret. You stumble across one of her gorgeous, hard-to-find manga. You share it with a close friend. Before you know it, you're both on the lookout for more . . . Now at last, the wait's over, the secret's out. Fumiko Takano, manga poet and pioneer, has reached our shores. One of her most daring, delightful manga, acclaimed in Japan and Europe, is here, thanks to Alexa Frank's sparkling translation of Miss Ruki. \" --Daniel Meyerowitz, The Comics Journal Publisher Marketing : Chosen by the Washngton Post as one of the Best Comics of 2025 A young woman rejects the fast-paced consumer culture of 1980s Japan in favor of a slower, more carefree lifestyle in this tenderhearted, sweetly funny classic of slice-of-life manga. A classic of Japanese manga, Miss Ruki is a warm and vivid portrait of the lives of two young women in Tokyo during Japan's 1980s bubble economy. The titular Miss Ruki spurns the fast-paced consumer culture of the era in favor of a lighthearted life dedicated to her hobbies, her books, and spending time with her anxious but far more pragmatic friend, Ecchan. Takano's art moves with all the warmth, grace, and clarity of the everyday moments it depicts. Sweet and funny, these vignettes of a long-gone time still resonate today with readers and authors in Japan, with famed contemporary manga artist Keigo Shinzo noting, \"To read it is to grasp something of the essence of Japan.... This is the kind of manga I want to draw.\" Miss Ruki is a vertical comic strip meant to be read right to left; each story begins in the top right panel and continues down the column before moving leftward.

Join Sanda and Shiori on an unforgettable journey to restore the magic of Christmas, uncovering secrets, friendship, and adventure in a future Japan. In a near-future Japan, Christmas has faded into myth, and the birth rate has dropped so dramatically that children are now the most precious commodity. Society has artificially extended adolescence to preserve their youth, and traditional holidays, like Christmas, are a mere legend of the past. Volume 1 of Sanda introduces Sanda Kazushige, a middle-school student who unexpectedly becomes entangled in a strange and dangerous mystery. When his classmate, Fuyumura Shiori, accuses him of carrying a curse that could help find her missing friend, Ono Ichie, Sanda's life takes a dramatic turn. Together, they embark on an incredible adventure to unravel the truth behind Ichie's disappearance and uncover the hidden magic of Christmas itself. As they delve deeper into the mystery, the duo faces external threats and internal challenges--questions about loyalty, courage, and the power of belief. Along the way, they confront the true meaning of friendship, trust, and the possibility of magic in a world that has all but forgotten it. With a mix of supernatural elements, heartfelt moments, and a nostalgic quest to restore childhood wonder, Sanda Volume 1 kicks off a sixteen-volume saga blending mystery, adventure, and emotional depth. The series is also being adapted into an anime, so fans can dive further into the world of Sanda .
