Medical AU Fan fic of MAO

Ok... I knew I haven't finished my previous fan fic but I can't help myself starting this after seeing Rumiko's new drawing.... Summary: Nanoka, a dedicated medical intern, finally gets the chance to work alongside her idol, Dr. Mao Nekomata, at Goko Hospital. But as she navigates the pressures of her new role, she discovers that Mao’s life is far more complicated than she imagined—tangled with Yurako, a brilliant yet volatile socialite who has inherited the powerful Goko Hospital Group.

AHHH! SOMEONE THAT LIKES MAO BESIDES ME <3

I'm reading Rin-ne right now but I need to go catch up on Mao. I'm going to start it over since I'm so far behind <3

EXCITED FOR THE ANIME?

The manga is going better and better! TBH, the beginning of MAO manga didn't interest me but I continue reading because of Rumiko Takahashi. Turn out it's possibly my favourite work of Rumiko!! (Tho Inuyasha and Ranma 1/2 will be always something important in my childhood) The plot and characters development are much more mature and well-designed! I'm a bit worried about the anime, especially it's adapted by SUNRISE....But anyways, I'm looking forward to it, esp a loud and cute Hyakka in motion!

I LOVE THEMMMMMM They do deserve more popularity and at least justice comments!

She's looking down and HE'S GAZING AT HER. He gazes at her whenever she does something that she truly thinks isn't a huge deal but every time it's like his heart stops in disbelief and then restarts with him looking her.

I have no calm. I have no chill. Look. At. Him. I asked for longing, devotion and undying love and it's killing me. She doesn't even realize when he does it. Sakura is like the only person to not judge him about anything and her giving up something that would have changed her life SHOCKED HIM. Just absolutely floored him because it's said without being said that it's for him.

READ THIS MANGA. I will REVIVE THIS FANDOM.

Official Dr. Mao!!!! This is drawn by Rumiko Takahashi herself!!! I mean, she actually pictured this in her mind so it probably hints that...the time loop theory is probably not our head-canon?!

[museeanime]

Thought i would share this on here as well

(*Toyonaga smh a typo)

Ya'll loved part 1 so here's part 2 of Rumic world MAO MEMEs 🤡

This is the best meme i've ever made 🤡 + by "demon" I mean Soma and Hakubi XD

ok hear me out-

🤷‍♀️

Made this when I was in a " i hate sachiko so fucking much" phase

dang she spoke the truth-

[museeanime]

My opinion may change at any moment, at the moment my opinion is that "MAO" new series by Rumiko Takahashi is MUCH BETTER than her previous shounen "Inu-Yasha". I mainly mean the main characters. Nanoka is the badass of MAO Queen. She wants to fight and she does. She doesn't want to be a burden, but she's weak(and she know it!), but she's more like a bodyguard than Mao. They really should switch roles. Nanoka is really nice and I like more than a certain 15-year-old girl in a green uniform. Nobody in advance considers Nanoka some kind of "kami-sama" like Kagome. Mao, Hyakka, Otoya will call out to her for things she is doing wrong or risking her life when it is dangerous for her. Nobody kisses her ass. What I personally like. Another plus of the story is that Nanoka and Mao love each other and protect each other and are partners. They are more supportive and the feelings are mutual and have grown over time. Nanoka didn't force anything, nor did she emotionally manipulate anything. They are equal. I like so much about this story. At the moment I like everyone, on the Kou clan I am neutral except this lady:

Mitazono Mei

She's appears in Chapter 93

She takes my heart with each new chapter.

I love how Rumiko includes Kikyou in her works. She loves her and proves her by drawing her as other characters as if we met her other reincarnations, but in fact I know Rumiko likes Kikyou and shows it. Inuyasha will always have a special place in my heart, objectively looking at it. MAO is better.

Inspiring Women: Rumiko Takahashi

New custom doll is here! I'm sure we all know about the Mattel Barbie Inspiring Women doll line, right? Well, I took it upon myself to create one of my own because I'm sure Mattel will never make one lol. Click here for behind the scenes on how I made this doll!

I opted to create an Inspiring Woman Barbie based off Rumiko Takahashi, the Japanese manga artist who created my all-time favorite manga and anime, Inuyasha. But that isn't the sole reason she's deserving of this title. Yes, that creation got me into all things Japan and introduced me to the entire anime genre, but this mangaka has excelled in her career for 45 years - a profession that has been primarily male-dominated since its inception.

I also created a box for her designed after the official Mattel Inspiring Women boxes. The outfit she's wearing is inspired by the one she wore during the 2023 knighthood honor she received. Accessories include her most recent book, Rumiko Takahashi: Colors 1978-2024, as well as her 35th anniversary book that comes with removable genuine sketches, plus the first volume of the Inuyasha manga (original Japanese version). The doll I used was the Asian sister of Ariel from the live action Little Mermaid, but I cut her hair and styled it differently, painted some age lines on her face, removed her pink eyeshadow, and gave her some glasses. I also gave her a curvy body with the same articulation that dolls in this series have - movement at the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, and knee. Because I'm that much of a perfectionist. :D

Back of the box, all made by me based on actual Inspiring Women boxes.

Fun facts: Takahashi has never been married, and she has stated in interviews that she doesn't plan to. In addition, she works with women exclusively as she writes and creates. She has specifically said that she wouldn't hire a male assistant because he would be "troublesome." She prefers the atmosphere of a studio of women working together without distraction. Her work stands out among other shonen pieces because of its creativity, complex characters, and nuanced romances. Her woman and girl characters are never accessories to the guy hero, which was often the case in early shonen stories, especially. Takahashi often likes to implement strong, independent, multi-facetted female characters in leading roles into her stories. Talk about girl power!

Now for more information as to why she's so deserving of having her own doll in my collection. :D Strap in, because this post is a doozy!

BIO: Rumiko Takahashi (born Oct. 10, 1957) is the best-selling female comic artist of all time, selling more than 170 million copies of her work in Japan alone, and one of the names by which to reckon the evolution of anime. She is one of the wealthiest women in Japan, all of her longer running manga have become TV series, and nearly everything she has written has been adapted into animation (OVA or TV). Perhaps more importantly, her influence and the nature of her series since 1980 have been cited as large contributors to the perception and acceptance of anime as a medium today.

All of Takahashi’s work has become popular throughout the world, and with more than 20 years of publishing her manga art, she earned the title of The Princess of Manga.

Takahashi's professional career began in 1978 when she was a university student. That year, she worked on her first full-length series entitled Urusei Yatsura. It became one of the most loved manga and anime comedies in Japan. In 1980, when she began to publish regularly, she began her second major series, Maison Ikkoku. This series is now considered to be one of the all-time best manga romances.

As her stories appeared and attracted many fans, Takahashi grew in popularity as an artist while improving her writing and artistic abilities. In 1987, a huge year for her career success, three of her most well-known stories ended and she began work on Ranma ½. The series continued for nearly a decade until 1996, when it ended at 38 volumes. Ranma ½ and its anime adaptation are cited as some of the first of their mediums to have become popular in the United States. While publishing Ranma ½, Takahashi was hospitalized several times for peritonitis. But even during her second hospital stay, the series did not stop.

During the latter half of the 1990s, Takahashi began her fourth major work, Inuyasha. With this series, Takahashi is also often said to be the first woman to successfully set foot in the Shōnen genre and leave a lasting impact on it. To date, Inuyasha is her longest-running series, ending in 2008. In 2020, it received a sequel series titled Yashahime: Princess Half Demon.

On July 30, 2008, Takahashi noted her 30th anniversary as a mangaka, and on July 8, 2009, during Shonen Sunday's 50th anniversary celebration, characters from three of her most popular series (Urusei Yatsura, Ranma ½, and Inuyasha) joined together in a short crossover to welcome everyone to the celebratory milestone. That same year, VIZ Media, one of the entertainment industry’s most innovative and comprehensive publishing, animation and licensing companies, announced the launch of a brand new imprint, Shonen Sunday, featuring the works of some of the top shonen manga creators in the world today. Takahashi's series RIN-NE was the first to be featured in the new imprint, and was the first manga novel ever to be published simultaneously in Japan and North America.

Early in her career, Takahashi expressed that though she doesn't write love stories often, she loves a good love story. While none of her works are straightforward romances, many of her works early and later on have compelling romance subplots that are integral to the characters and world. Her works like Inuyasha and Ranma 1/2 are known for their romances. Takahashi's romances are varied, and they are trendsetting. They set the standard for popular romance tropes like slow-burn romances and love triangles. The love triangle between Kagome, Kikyo, and Inuyasha is one of the most iconic in all anime.

@kodanukima4624

I'm currently writing a new Maonoka fan fic 40% fluffy Maonoka moment 30% Adventure plot featuring Yashahime manga 20% headcanon about Mao's past 20% Other characters

When Mao assists Sesshōmaru and his pregnant wife in a difficult delivery, past and present collide. As Nanoka’s fate becomes entwined with Sesshōmaru’s daughters, she and Mao navigate growing feelings and looming threats. Fluff, tension, and destiny all converge beneath the approaching Demon Star.

[museeanime]

Mao is always mentioned as "handsome" & "beautiful" by all random characters. I wonder what kind of face could meet the beautiful standard through 900 years... But it seems he's only considered as good-looking in Taisho era but not 900 years ago.

LOOK AT THEM!!!

It's my mood now

[museeanime]

Souma: you ought to be more feminine vs Mao: Nanoka looks good just the way she is

I can’t believe Souma’s final words were telling Nanoka to get back in the kitchen 💀

Like yeah I know, it’s a ‘different times’ kind of thing and what he’s really saying is that Nanoka should be having fun and living the way a normal girl would instead of running around fighting monsters and stabbing people - because she’s really very kind and she deserves a peaceful, happy life, surrounded by good people who’ll protect her (unlike himself.)

But.

It’s still really wild lol
