Big Comic Original has announced some new series and one-shots for its upcoming issues, including a new Rumic Theater one-shot by Rumiko Takahashi. The title of the one-shot is Rumic Theater: Himitsu wo Keep, or Keep a Secret. [Thanks, ryokutya2089!]
Rumic Theater is an anthology series that she publishes in Big Comic Original every year since 1987. So far, there are five volumes of the series, and the latest one (Volume 5) came out in 2019. The Himitsu wo Keep one-shot will appear in the August 2025 volume of Big Comic Original. In that same issue, we’ll also see a new series (Oya Gogogo by Sensha Yoshida) and another one-shot (Otherworld Museum by Yasuo Otagaki).
According to Comic Natalie, Himitsu wo Keep will take place in a certain bar. It’ll focus on a middle-aged man who’s paying a bar to keep his bottle there. However, a strange man keeps drinking from that bottle. The only image we have of the one-shot shows the bottle in question.
Rumiko Takahashi is one of the most prominent and successful Japanese manga artists. Since she started her career in 1978, she’s won several awards and created multiple popular series with equally popular anime adaptations. Her works include Urusei Yatsura, Inuyasha, Rin-ne, Ranma ½, and Maison Ikkoku. For her contributions to the arts, the Japanese government awarded her with the Medal with Purple Ribbon in 2020.
Rumic Theater: Himitsu wo Keep will appear in the August 2025 issue of Big Comic Original.
