Ruki-san
Manga
Ruki-san is a Japanese manga by Fumiko Takano, serialized in Hanako from the June 2, 1988 issue to the December 17, 1992 issue for 57 chapters. Set against Japan's bubble era, it portrays a woman living a carefree single life. It ran roughly monthly in two full-color pages per episode (three for the finale), each story told in 16 evenly divided panels across a spread, with the first panel serving as the title. Chikumashobo published it in 1993 and in paperback in 1996. A one-page epilogue about Ruki-san, published in a 2003 Mainichi Shimbun book, was included in the 2015 new edition.
