The TV series Rumic World (2003) is composed of thirteen episodes, each based on a short story from the period between 1987 and 2000 by Takahashi Rumiko. Unlike other shows, the order of these episodes does not follow the chronological sequence in which their stories were written. For instance, the first episode "Tragedy of P" was penned in 1991 while the last episode "Senmuno inu" was authored in 1994.
