Rumic World

Rumic World (るーみっくわーるど, Rūmikku Wārudo), can refer either to a series of short manga stories written by Rumiko Takahashi or to a series of Original Video Animation's based on those stories. Rumic World was later reprinted in Japan as Takahashi Rumiko Kessaku Tanpenshū (高橋留美子傑作短編集). Most of the stories tend to be comedies.

The Original Video Animation's (OVA's) were released in North American and United Kingdom by Central Park Media and Manga Entertainment. Some of these stories, along with newer stories, were also animated as part of the Takahashi Rumiko Gekijou (Rumiko Takahashi Anthology) anime series.
