After recently re-reading the beginnings of Maison Ikkoku and Mermaid Saga, I now get to read a volume from Takahashi's first major work, Urusei Yatsura. Space Ogres, pervy high schoolers., corrupt monks, cartoon violence, feuding fathers and sons/daughters, and a plot that never ends? It is a Takahshi book indeed. And while it's not a fun or polished as her later works (and while the 40 year old gender roles can be a little cringey) it does have the weird, fun, riotous, silly energy that is evident in so many of her books.
