About Takahashi, the problem is that she never really ends a manga.
I mean, look at Ranma 1/2.
It could have continued for ever like that and we can't seriously call the last chapter of the last book a "end".
Same with Urusei Yastura.
In fact, if i remember well, i think that only "Maison Ikkoku" have a real, good and clear end.
But no big deal, Ranma, Inu yasha, Urusei Yastura, Maison Ikkoku and the others are quite good manga, funny as hell and really enjoyable.
Q: We've been enjoying reading the stories from your childhood in the volume 7*, and you mention loving Doraemon, Gundam and Dr. Slump as a kid. Are you a big fan of any current manga and anime?
A: One Piece. It's kind of edgy, but Akira and Ghost in the Shell.
Nice dude.
Yeah, Oda could give to him some advices.
Well, if one day Naruto claims that he wants to become a pirate and given up the life of ninja, we shall know why. ^^
