Despite a common believe, Lum ain’t a princess. Her father is a boss, but there’s not any mention to her family’s royalty.

It’s Deja Vu, all over again. And my wallet is hurting in anticipation of my next spending spree. Still, this reprint has something special going for it: every volume of t…

Wait till you see Ito Noizi’s new pen name which means Itou Noise Pollution in kanji. Nice try with word play but in any case, it just means more Shanas and Mikurus for us to fap to.

Ah you are right. It is sorted. XD

It looked wrong at first because I missed out a name or two in the middle of the list.

“…and it isn’t sorted in the same order as the name list…”

Well, at least the mangaka I’m familiar with are in the right order. I never read the manga, so I don’t know how close Rumiko-chan’s new rendition is to the original, but I can say it’s fairly analogous to the InuYasha and Ranma manga when compared to their anime counterparts (of which I am familiar, in Lum’s case), and certainly indicative of her distinctive style.

I LOLed hard at the Cromartie mangaka’s rendition. Looks like one of the “non-fanservice” extras from every 80′s chicks-in-prison movie. Right in line with the Cromartie style. Maybe it’s a dig at…

Noizi Itoh… I love her style. The characters are gorgeous, and the coloring and composition regularly superb… But it’d be nice if she could draw more than 3 or 4 female faces. That’s not Lum in that picture, it’s Imouto-chan (or Wirlhelmina with different eyes, or Tsuruya-san, or Hecate…) cosplaying as Lum.

The Arakawa-sensei version surprised me, as I’m so used to the FMA style, but it’s a very cute pic. Arakawa has always been good at drawing cute females, even though I don’t think this one is the cutest of the bunch.

That distinction would have to go to Yoshizaki-sensei’s version. Keroro Gunsou has always been an underappreciated font of moé (even when it’s appreciated, it’s still underappreciated), and its mangaka is a genius at drawing incredibly cute girls (manga Mois-dono is possibly the most moé character ever, especially if read with Noto-sama’s voice in mind…) without resorting to overblown caricature like many other artists.

Still, I’ve got to give credit to Ryouichi Ikegami for going the realistic route (last on the second row, and one of the ones where the name is switched up). Of course, “realistic” is relative, when you’re talking about a green-haired, pointy-eared, cute-little-horned alien oni vixen…
