Topic: Shinobu really exists!

[GiovaneDinamitardo]

Today I reread, for the umpteenth time, the ending of the UY manga and, coincidentally, I reflected on the "special thanks" to employees who helped Rumiko Takahashi to realize the tale.

SURPRISE: one of them was SHINOBU MIYAKE![/size]

I tried to search something on google but only find pictures and sites dedicated to the (well known) character.

Some of you know something more about ?

I think I've read about that sometime before, but I've never seen her though. Let's look furinkan.com

found this from furinkan.com questions & answers ^.^

 14 - Does Ataru really love Lum? If so, why does he keep trying to get away from her? Why can't he admit that he loves her?

Ataru loves Lum more than anything but he tries to convince himself and those around him that he doesn't. But often times he lets his guard down. Whenever Lum is in some kind of danger or it seems that he may lose her, that's when Ataru's true self comes out and he shows his true feelings towards Lum. But why does he run from her?

It would almost seem that Ataru would want to keep a platonic relationship with Lum for the time being, but she keeps pressuring him into a deeper relationship which makes him feel trapped. Similarly he is a very independent person who isn't comfortable having his life suddenly taken over by such an overbearing girl who keeps trying to change his ways. Ataru wants to be free to do whatever he wants, which includes girl-chasing and more, but Lum keeps following him, yelling, nagging and giving him an electrical punishment every time he defies her. All of those things make Ataru feel like a prisoner and so he constantly flees from her. But more so he's actually running from having to face his true feelings, which may be the underlying reason behind it all. That brings us to the question of why he has such a problem with admitting his love.

At the beginning Ataru had a bit of a physical attraction to Lum, just like with all girls. But during the Tag Race, he decides he wants nothing to do with her. Ataru's negative feelings towards Lum became worse after Lum decides to move in with him, become his loyal wife and he quickly finds out that she won't let him cheat on her. After getting over the initial "shock" of Lum being around him all of the time (pun intended), he unknowingly begins to fall for her. Eventually he comes to grips with that fact and accepts his love for her, but finds it impossible to show his feelings after he acting like he disliked her for so long. So Ataru finds it to difficult to show her how he feels, but he makes things worse by evading the situation and repeating the same horrible behaviour that makes Lum mad. It's a truly vicious circle.

why did i even put this here???? 0.o

I think we should be asking you that o.o

What does this have to do with Shinobu?

I remember one episode that Shinobu has another surname than Miyake, but I don't remember it now. I hardly believe that Takahashi changed her name after the real Shinobu Miyake, like she did with Oshima (a raccoon named after her editor)
