I think the recent IY manga made money, just because it's one of the few times she actually finished her stories. Plus, Takahashi kept leaving the readers and viewers hanging so long, that they were going to buy it, simply to get some closure. I doubt a Rin-ne anime will happen soon, though, since the premise is similar to most manga nowadays, rather than being a Takahashi "original". It's ironic that she's resorted to copying, since the last decade has consisted of other manga-ka copying Ranma 1/2. [*cough* Gin Tama, Midori no Hibi, Pretty Face, St. Dragon Girl *cough*] BTW, I also love the irony of Viz calling its site for Rin-ne Rumik World, while refusing to publish that old manga collection of hers. They can be real dicks about re-releases, sometimes. I didn’t think that one would be answered so soon.
