    Here's Ranma: The Tendo dojo gets plenty of surprises in
    one day when a panda and a girl show up instead of Soun Tendo's
    old friend Genma and his son Ranma. There's more to this panda
    and the girl than they think, though, as Akane finds out when she
    walks in on the "girl", who somehow changed to a boy, in the
    shower! Is this really Ranma Saotome, the guy that she's
    supposedly engaged to? It's certainly not Akane's idea of a
    fiancee….
    Ranma's Secret: Genma explains his and Ranma's strange curse to
    the surprised Tendo family. It appears that on a training trip to
    China, Genma
    and Ranma traveled to an alleged training ground called Jusenkyo.
    While there, they were both hit into cursed springs, whcih make
    them change into a panda and a girl, respectively, when wet! Soun
    decides to go through with the engagement anyway, and when Akane
    is picked as Ranma's fiancee, it's going to be difficult for the
    two to get along..especially if Ranma walks in again on Akane
    (this time as a female)…
    I Hate Men!: Ranma and Akane go off to their first day together
    at Furinkan High school, and on the way Ranma gets splashed,
    causing the two to take a detour to Dr. Tofu's office to get
    some hot water. Ranma suspects Akane of liking the good doctor,
    but has no time to think about it as Ranma's going to find out
    that Furinkan's not exactly your normal school – especially when
    bokken-wielding, poetry-spouting Tatewaki Kunou is the voice of
    influence. A chance speech by him at the beginning of the
    semester has Akane having to literally fight off the advances of
    the boys at the school. Kunou challenges Ranma to a fight, and
    Ranma gladly accepts, despite Akane's protests…
    Never, Never, Never:Ranma and Kunou's fight ends in a draw as the
    rain almost reveals Ranma's curse to the whole school. later,
    Kunou finds out about the engagement of his "dear Akane" and
    Ranma and challenges Ranma again, this time in the middle of
    school! Ranma accepts once again, but a foolish jump into a pool
    of cold water reveals Ranma's female form to the angry
    Kunou…
    To the Tree-Borne Kettle-Girl: Despite glomping onto her, Kunou
    hasn't made the connection between the female and male Ranmas and
    thinks that they are two separate people. Akane tries to get
    Onna-Ranma a kettle of hot water, but the kettle goes unused as
    Kunou challenges the female Ranma to combat. Onna-Ranma defeats
    Kunou easily, but if you thought it was bad enough for the male
    Ranma dealing with Tatewaki Kunou, just wait until he sends a
    note asking the female Ranma to meet him somewhere alone…
    Body and Soul: Ranma's still having nightmares over Kunou's
    confession of love for his girl-side, and things get worse when
    at first Nabiki sells pictures of Onna-Ranma to Kunou and then
    when even an obvious change still does not show Kunou that his
    beloved "pig-tailed girl" and male Ranma are one and the same.
    Yet another fight breaks out, and this time a distracted Ranma
    may lose, as seeing the pictures Kunou was sold may prove fatal
    for Ranma…
    You'll Understand Soon Enough: Ranma gets greviously wounded by
    Kunou, but still manages to defeat him with a swift multiple kick
    to his vital spots. The wound doesn't seem bad at first, but upon
    further inspection (and much pain from Ranma), Akane decides to
    take Ranma to Dr. Tofu's office. All of these fights with Kuno
    (and sometimes Akane) has Ranma exhausted and being treated at
    the local chiropractic clinic run by Dr. Tofu is a welcome
    release from all the tension. As he treats her, Tofu tries to
    steer Ranma to a better understanding of Akane, and uses a
    special pressure point which makes Ranma's legs weak. Akane
    offers to piggy-back Ranma home, leaving Ranma to wonder about
    Tofu's reasons for his actions and about Akane…
    Because There's a Girl He Likes: The male population at school
    has found out about Kunou's defeat, and all give up their attacks
    on Akane to acknowledge Ranma as her true fiance – all except
    Kunou, who, bandaged and all, swears to keep after both Akane and
    his pig-tailed goddess. A chance hit by a baseball hit by Akane
    lands Ranma back in Dr. Tofu's office, and Ranma confirms Akane's
    feelings for the doctor. But as Akane is well aware of, Dr. Tofu
    is head-over-heels in love with someone else, who just happens to
    be on her way to the clinic…
    You're Cute When You Smile: Ranma is about to find out the hard
    way that love can make even the best doctors act like total fools
    when Dr. Tofu's love interest turns out to be none other than
    Akane's older sister Kasumi. Dr. Tofu is so lovestruck that he
    bends Ranma's head the wrong way, much to Ranma's discomfort.
    Meanwhile, a devastated Akane goes home, and though she still has
    feelings for Dr. Tofu, manages to feel a little better after a
    sparring match with Ranma, who calls her "cute when she
    smiles"…
    The Hunter: Things actually seem to be settling down a bit in
    Nerima. The hordes of boys have stopped chasing Akane, Kuno isn't
    attacking male Ranma all that often, and believe it or not, Akane
    and Ranma seem to be getting along. However, the peace doesn't
    last long as an old rival of Ranma's shows up to settle the
    score. Ryoga Hibiki's horrible sense of direction may make him
    seem like he's an idiot, but his brute strength and skill are
    easily equal to Ranma's…Ryoga challenges Ranma to a duel, and
    Rnama is left to ponder the determination of his mysterious
    rival..
    Bread Feud: Ranma remembers Ryoga's reason for his grudge against
    him. It seems that when Ryoga and Ranma went to the same junior
    high school Ranma was able to outsmart Ryoga for the last piece
    of the "Bread of the Day" every time, causing Ryoga to challenge
    Ranma to a duel. Unfortunately, Ryoga's horrid sense of direction
    makes him late for the duel by three days, and Ranma leaves,
    making Ryoga think Ranma a coward. Now, Ryoga's finally caught up
    to Ranma, and despite Rnama's attempts to make peace, Ryoga
    attacks. Ryoga draws first blood, and Ranma begins to think he
    has to get serious to defeat his enemy…
    Showdown: Ranma has to defend himself against the enraged Eternal
    Lost Boy, even if Ranma's "secret" becomes known to him in the
    process. Ranma tries to draw pity from Ryoga, but Ryoga only gets
    more enraged at finding out Ranma's curse as he furiously attacks
    Ranma. Meanwhile, Akane tries to find Ranma some hot water,
    risking her own life to do so. An alarmed
    Ranma tries to help a helpless Akane up as Ryoga throws his
    umbrella straight at Ranma's back…
    A Bad Cut: Ranma manages to avoid the fatal umbrella blow and
    jumps with Akane to safety. A worried Ranma then angrily
    reprimands Akane for her foolishness, enraging Akane to the point
    of calling Ranma non-existent to her. Ryoga meanwhile, tries to
    finish the fight by tossing his cutting bandannas at Ranma.
    Unfortunately, the only loser of this battle happens to be Akane,
    who is robbed of something very important to her…
    Who Says You're Cute: Akane's loss finally gets her to accept the
    fact that Dr. Tofu loves someone else, and a new day seems to
    have begun for her. Ranma, on the other hand, secretly realizes
    that this new Akane, both physically and spiritually, might
    actually be cute…

    2. Volume 2 (Yellow
    Cover)

    The Transformation of Ryoga: Ryoga finally finds his way
    to the Tendo dojo, where he attacks Ranma in the middle of the
    night! As Ranma's about to find out, though, a cold and rainy
    night was definitely not the best night for Ryoga to fight
    Ranma…
    He's Got a Beef: Ryoga tells Ranma the story of how he was
    cursed. Apparently he followed Ranma to China, and more
    specifically, Jusenkyo. But before he can catch up with Ranma, he
    gets knocked into a cursed spring by a panda and a pig-tailed
    girl. Cursed to become a black piglet, he is caught and almost
    eaten. Ryoga blames Ranma, and Ranma denies all charges until
    Ryoga finds out that the girl who knocked him into the pool was
    Ranma. The ensuing fight brings Akane into the picture, and when
    she sees her new pet (Ryoga) getting picked on by Ranma, Ranma's
    in trouble. Now Ranma has to resort to sneaking to Akane's room
    to expose Ryoga for what he really is…
    Kodachi, the Black Rose: Enter Kodachi, the Black Rose of rival
    school St. Bacchus, who's ambushed all the martial Rhythmic
    Gymnastics team members of Furinkan high so she can win by
    default! It's up to Akane to step up to the challenge of
    defending Furinkan High's honor against Kodachi. In training,
    however, she's absolutely clueless until Ryoga, of all people,
    shows up to train her. Meanwhile, Kodachi is on her way to the
    Tendo dojo, to make sure Akane never even gets to the
    competition…
    The Love of the Black Rose: Akane's training is finished for the
    night, and she's loooking forward to a good night's rest – too
    bad she isn't going to get it. Kodachi attempts to cripple her,
    and Akane has to defend herself. Ranma and Ryoga/P-chan get mixed
    up in the pre-fight duel as well, and Kodachi ends up making a
    temporary retreat. Her near fall off the rooftops causes Ranma to
    rescue her, however, and to make matters worse, Kodachi's ends up
    falling hard for the male Ranma. An attempted kiss then leaves
    Ranma paralyzed on the roof, and Kodachi running from an enraged
    Akane…
    Take Care of My Sister: Kodachi tries to ambush Akane at school,
    and then decides to have their match determine who can have
    Ranma, after finding out he's Akane's fiancee. Ranma and Akane
    also find out that Kodachi just happens to be Kuno's sister.
    However, despite avoiding being ambushed herself by the Black
    Rose, Akane ends up hurting herself before the match, and now
    female Ranma (with Ryoga's suspect "help") has to take Akane's
    place…
    I'll See That You Lose: Ryoga attempts to cripple Ranma in
    training him/her, and the two end up fighting all night, leaving
    a very tired female Ranma in the morning. Upon finding out about
    a substitute, Kodachi attempts several times to cripple her
    before the match, but fails. Now the fight begins – but femlae
    Rnama ends up with a handicap – being chained to a very angry
    P-chan…
    Hot Competition: The fight is on and Ranma had better win it, or
    else he'll be dating the psychotic Kodachi. Kodachi pulls out
    every underhanded trick in the book to try and defeat her
    opponent. Ranma-chan's doing pretty well – all she has to do is
    avoid that kettle of boiling hot water Kodachi has and he/she'll
    be fine…
    I Give Up: Onna-Ranma and P-chan are hit with the hot water, and
    for a while it looks like they're both abut to face the biggest
    embarassment of their lives. Akane, however, saves them with a
    quick blast of cold water. AFter Kodachi cheats again by having
    the ring move, only the ring posts and ropes remain to stand on,
    and Onna-Ranma has to make sure that she's the last one left
    standing…
    Darling Charlotte: With the Kodachi situation settled (sort of),
    life can somewhat return to normal in Nerima. Akane and
    Ranma-chan, along with P-chan, go to a skating rink to relax from
    all the fighting. However, the fighting is far from over as a
    girl by the name of Azusa Shiratori "finds"s P-chan and claims
    her for her own. Now Akane has to challenge Azusa to a martial
    skating match to get P-chan back, and now Ranma's involved too.
    Of course, Ryoga wants to fight at Akane's side instead of
    Ranma..all the two need to do is learn how to skate…
    A Kiss in the Rink: To Ranma, it's embarrassing to be slipping
    and sliding around the ice as a guy, so Akane has to teach him as
    a girl. Ranma's going to learn to regret doing that, though, as
    he just happens to get his first kiss in girl form. The problem
    is – the kisser is Mikado Sanzenin! As the day of the match draws
    near, a very angry male Ranma tries to gain revenge on the
    unaware Sanzenin for the most grevious insult he's taken….
    Lips at a Loss: Male Ranma's furious, and in a "pre-match" tot he
    real fight he angrily attacks Mikado in a rage. The two end up
    fighting, and despite Mikado's "Dance of Death" attack the match
    ends in a draw. Later on, Akane is tending to Rnam's wounds and
    the two share a tender moment..unfortunately before it can get
    any closer the two realize it's being videotaped…meanwhile, and
    enraged Mikado seeks revenge on Ranma…

    3. Volume 3 (Blue
    Cover)

    Lips at War: Before the match, Mikado promises he'll
    take the lips of Akane Tendo sometime during the match, and Ranma
    now has to watch out for his repeated attempts to kiss Akane as
    well as concentrate on the match. The two pairs clash as the
    match begins (with ryoga/P-chan as the prize), and Ranma seems to
    be doing well (he somehow learned how to skate in that period
    before the match). However, after a particularly brazen attempt
    by Mikado to kiss Akane, Ranma angrily vows to finish off Mikado,
    reavealing he's Akane's fiancee in the process…
    I'll Never Let Go: Akane and Ranma have to avoid the Golden
    Pair's deadly Couple Cleaver attack, and do so, at Ranma's
    expense. An seriously injured Ranma struggles to get up while
    Akane tries to stop him. However, "Charlotte" has his own way of
    interfering, and when his plan to pair with
    Akane fails, he ends up being paired with Onna-Ranma, of all
    people! Now Ryoga and Onna-Ranma have to team up, and the real
    battle begins – and not just between the two teams…
    Burning the Bridges: The match continues (after a brief change of
    costume) for Ryoga and Onna-Ranma. The "Golden Pair" executes
    their deadly "Couple Cleaver" again, and it almost succeeds – but
    both Ryoga and Onna-Ranma get up from it mainly unbruised. And
    then, in the middle of the match, of all times, Ryoga challenges
    Onna-Ranma to a duel…
    Ryoga Explodes!: Ryoga and Onna-Ranma are now fighting each
    other, to the surprise of Akane and the rest of the people in the
    arena. In the process of the duel, however, the rink breaks open,
    revealing a pool of icy water underneath. Ryoga has to prevent
    himself from falling in the water as well as fight Ranma, and
    when Mikado almost knocks him in, Ryoga somehow summons the
    strength to totally knock out Mikado and keep himself above the
    water. The resulting avalanche buries Onna-Ranma, and Ryoga
    thinks he's won….until Ranma somehow claws himself out of the
    icy mass….
    The Waters of Love: Thanks to Ryoga (and Azusa, for that matter)
    Furinkan high has won the match witht he "Golden Par", but Ryoga
    and Onna-Ranma are still fighting it out viciously over the pool
    of ice and water. The match only ends when a swimming-impaired
    Akane falls into the water, prompting Ryoga (as P-chan) and Ranma
    to dive in and save her. Now, thankfully, the grueling Martial
    Skating Match is over, but Onna-Ranma's got no time to relax
    because he/she's got a new enemy – Shampoo, a female Chinese
    Amazon who's out to kill Onna-Ranma…
    Kiss of Death: Onna-Ranma is barely able to avoid Shampoo's
    attack in the locker room by hiding in one of the lockers, and
    later Ranma is able to tell Akane why Shampoo is after him/her.
    It appears that Shampoo is after Ranma because Ranma (in girl
    form at the time) defeated her in a fight. According to Chinese
    Amazon law, an Amazon must not stop chasing an outsider who
    defeats her until she's dead, and that spells trouble for the
    female Ranma. If Ranma thought this predicament was bad enough,
    though, just wait until he finds out what the Amazon law says
    about being defeated by male outsiders…especially when Ranma
    does just that upon finding out Shampoo is in the Tendo
    Dojo…
    You I Love: Ever since Shampoo gave a certain show of affection
    to her supposed future husband Ranma, Akane's been bitten by the
    green-eyed monster of jealousy. Meanwhile, though, since Shampoo
    is unaware that the female Ranma and the male Ranma are one and
    the same, Shampoo always seems to be glomping onto "him" half the
    time and trying to kill "her" the other half, making for a really
    difficult situation for poor Ranma…
    Akane Gets Shampooed: When Shampoo tries to make sweet and sour
    pork out of a certain little black pig for her "husband" Ranma to
    eat, it's the last straw for Akane. Akane ends up fighting
    Shampoo, but the Chinese girl ends up taking something very
    important to Akane…
    Shampoo Cleans Up: Now that Akane's suffered Shampoo's memory
    loss attack, she doesn't remember anything about Ranma! According
    to Dr. Tofu, Shampoo has used the Xi Fa Xiang Gao technique, a
    deadly shiatsu technique which combines a certain herbal shampoo
    and the pushing of pressure points on the head to manipulate
    memory! With Akane (forcibly) in tow, Ranma frantically looks for
    the herbal shampoo that can cure Akane's selective amnesia…
    it's too bad that Ranma doesn't know that Shampoo's a temporary
    nurse at Tofu's clincic…
    Formula #911: Akane still can't remember anything about Ranma,
    even when, to her surprise, she finds out he lives with her. But
    when Shampoo attempts to take advantage of Akane's malady by
    showing up and trying to glomp onto Ranma, Akane somehow
    miraculously produces a conditioned reflex to her fiancee being
    hugged (i.e. hitting him), causing Shampoo to nearly use the
    technique on her again. Ranma finds out later from Dr. Tofu that
    the counter-shampoo formula for the herbal shampoo Shampoo used
    is #911, and when Ranma finds out that Shampoo has the shampoo,
    Ranma tries to make a "bargain" with Shampooo – one that might
    end up hurting him more than helping him….
    Bie Liao (Goodbye): Ranma's willing to do almost anything to get
    the antidote shampoo to Shampoo's memory loss technique – even if
    it means that Ranma has to ask Ryoga to "almost kill" him to
    fulfill the bargain he made (he had agreed to get the shampoo in
    exchange for Onna-Ranma's supposed "near death"). Despite failing
    to get "almost killed" by Ryoga, Soun, and Genma, however, Ranma
    manages to bring Akane's memory back, and just in time,
    too, because Shampoo shows up to make another attempt on the
    newly-cured Akane's life! It seems the only way for Ranma to stop
    all of this is to reveal to Shampoo the secret curse he holds.
    But what effect will it have on the Chinese Amazon, when she
    finds out the man she is supposed to marry is also the one she is
    bound by law to kill…?

    4. Volume 4 (Dark Green
    Cover)

    Looking for a Weak Spot: Hikaru "Voodoo Spike" Gosunkugi
    was content to love Akane from afar, through his picture taking,
    but then "that fool Ranma Saotome" had shown up to crash the
    party. Gosunkugi knows, though, that every person has a weak
    point, even the near-invincible Ranma, and Gosunkugi will stop at
    nothing to know what it is, even if he has to team with Tatewaki
    Kuno to succeed!
    Weak Spot – Found!: In an attempt to find out Ranma's weak spot,
    gosunkugi spies on Ranma at the Tendo dojo, but fails to see what
    frightens Ranma when he hears his scream. genma tells the story
    of how a young Ranma acquired his extreme fear of cats through
    the rigourous training of a technique called the "Cast-fist", in
    which the trainee is thrown into a pit of hungry cats (too bad
    the technique, unbeknwest to Genma, wasn't supposed to be taught
    anymore). Gosunkugi finds out the hard way what Ranma's fear is,
    and sets a deadly trap for the pig-tailed martial artist…
    Cat Hell: Gosunkugi sets a deadly trap for Ranma to catch him,
    but the plan backfires and all three end up in the pit below the
    stage instead. however, Ranma finds himself trapped as Gosunkugi
    reveals his knowledge of Ranma's weak spot and looses a bunch of
    felines, including a wild tiger, at the fear-stricken Ranma.
    Ranma's really in a pickle now, trapped in a pit with his biggest
    fear all around him. And it only gets worse from there. You see,
    when Ranma's fear of cats reaches a certain point, he starts
    acting like one…
    Cat-Fu: Ranma has become like a cat, and not even the tiger,
    Kunou, or even Genma can stop the feline-like Ranma from tearing
    up the gym and anyone who comes near him. Now Akane must try to
    bring her fiancee back from the edge, but not before Ranma
    actually shows his affection for the short-haired girl, (albeit
    while a cat)…
    You'd Have Kissed Anyone?: Everyone's heard about Ranma's show of
    affection to Akane, and it's trouble for Ranma when Kunou,
    Gosunkugi, and Ryouga team up on him in retribution for his
    unknowing act. At Dr. Tofu's, Akane plans to beat up Ranma
    because he "kissed" her in public, but when Ranma happens to show
    at Tofu's office at the saem time as her, the two are too
    embarassed to say anything. Ranma eventually hurts Akane's
    feelings by saying he didn't remember the kiss, and is quickly
    booted out of sight. Meanwhile, a Chinese cat finds its way into
    the bath with Ranma, and a certain Chinese Amazon makes her
    return…
    Shampoo Rides Again: Well, it appears that Shampoo is back, after
    acquiring a Jusenkyo curse of her own from China in the form of
    turning into a cat with cold water. As Ranma's going to find out,
    that's not all Shampoo brought with her….Ranma runs into
    Cologne, Shampoo's great grandmother and a person of many tricks,
    including one that makes Ranma unable to stand hot water, and
    therefore, not be able to change back into a man..
    Attack of the Wild Mousse: The myopic Mousse, an "old friend" of
    Shampoo's, makes his appearance and challenges the male Ranma to
    a man-to-man fight. What a twist of fate that Ranma should be
    inhibited by Cologne's "full-body cat tongue" that prevents his
    changing back from his cursed form, after making this kind of
    promise with Mousse, to fight for Shampoo's (and Akane's) hand!
    Ranma's pretty good as a girl, but she's going to have to think
    up of something quick to mask his change from the "Master of
    Hidden Weapons"…
    The Martial Arts Magic Show: The fight between Ranma and Mousse
    is on as Mousse pulls out a variety of tricks from his sleeves –
    literally – to try and defeat Ranma. Ranma, cleverly concealed in
    a robe like Mousse's which conceals her current gender, is barely
    able to hold of the various attacks Mousse can throw at her. Only
    by pretending to "change into a girl" through magic can Ranma
    shed her heavy disguise – but even then it appears that Ranma's
    at a disadvantage because of the limits of her cursed body.
    mousse begins to press his advantage as the now defensive Ranma
    must find a way to beat Mousse and also keep all of her clothes
    on at the same time…
    Cat's Tongue Got You?: Mousse continues to attack Ranma, pressing
    her to the point of defeat as Mousse's longer legs and bigger
    body appear to be an insurmountable advantage for female Ranma.
    Dr. Tofu is able to temporarily cure Ranma's "full-body cat
    tongue" status just in time to turn into a male and defeat the
    persistent Mousse…
    The Phoenix Pill: Ranma barely survived the fight with Mousse,
    but she still can't change back into a guy because of the
    "Full-Body Cat Tongue" Cologne put on her. However, there is a
    cure – the legendary Phoenix Pill, which is currently in the
    possession of "the old ghoul". Now Ranma-chan has to resort to
    working for Cologne at their new restaurant in order to try and
    get that pill. Unfortunately, Ranma-chan's way too slow for the
    ancient Amazon, and so Ranma-chan's got to learn the ancient
    Chinese Amazon technique of the "Kachu Tenshin Amaguuriken" or
    "Chestnuts Roasting Over an Open Fire" technique to get up enough
    speed to catch Cologne off guard. If she could only find another
    way to master the technique besides trying to pull chestnuts out
    of a fire with her heat-sensitive hands…
    All's Fair at the Fair: To try and get Ranma's mind off of her
    predicament, Soun and the rest of the household decide to take a
    trip to the local fair in town. it is there among the games of
    the fair that Ranma is able to temporarily forget her problems –
    as well as finally learn the "Chestnut Fist" at the iranha booth.
    However, the troubles soon return to mind as she finds out that
    Cologne and Shampoo are running a haunted house in the fair.
    Seeking to get to Cologne and the Phoenix Pill, Ranma enters the
    house, holding off spirits, traps, and even a giant hot-water
    spring to get to Cologne, and it looks like the only way to wrest
    the precious pill from her grasp is to use her newly mastered
    technique…
    War of the Melons: Ranma's managed to master the "Chestnut Fist"
    technique, but was still tricked into taking a bogus Phoenix Pill
    by Cologne. Now Ranma, along with the entire Tendo household,
    trails Cologne to the beach to try and get the real Phoenix Pill.
    Ranma's got to win a watermelon-splitting race and keep his melon
    intact until he can cross the finish line and win the prize,
    which just happens to be the Phoenix Pill. However, a last fight
    with Cologne is waiting at the finish line…
    Naval Engagement: Cologne and Ranma engage in a fight to
    determine who gets the Phoenix Pill, and even though they manage
    to split each other's melons they keep fighting. Cologne tricks
    an overconfident Ranma, who manages to disarm her, into agreeing
    to a duel to settle the issue once and for all, and then easily
    gains the upper hand against a befuddled Ranma. It looks like
    this time Cologne's not holding back, even for an innocent Akane
    who just happens to be in the way when Cologne unleashes her
    deadly "Shark-Fist" attack at Onna-Ranma….

    5. Volume 5 (Magenta
    Cover)

    Kitten of the Sea: The Battle at the Beach continues as
    Cologne continuously attacks Ranma with her deadly "Shark Fist".
    It seems that Ranma-chan can't get even one hit in, especially
    with Akane in the way. Things look bleak for Ranma until she
    finally figures out that with Shhampoo's help, Ranma-chan can
    finally counter the old Amazon's technique with one of her
    own…
    Will You Join Me?: Ryoga returns from a long training session in
    the mountains only to be easily beaten by Ranma – ironically
    right after rejecting an offer from Cologne to train him. Seems
    as if all those battles with the "old ghoul" has strengthened
    Ranma's speed and skill, to the point where fighting Ryoga is
    nothing to him. Ryoga decides after all to enlist the help of
    Cologne in order to be on par with the newly improved
    Ranma…
    Training Meals: Ranma, Genma, and Akane go to the mountains on a
    training trip, trailed by Ryoga and Cologne Akane comes along
    mostly to practice her cooking, and a failure to satisfy Genma
    and Ranma's hunger with good cooking forces Genma and Ranma to
    flee in horror. Later, Ryoga is able to stomach Akane's cooking,
    and though Akane is happy, she is angry at Ranma for implying
    that it's bad. Ryoga and Ranma almost begin their duel eraly, but
    Cologne intervenes, ominously warning Ranma that he will have a
    very formidable opponent in Ryoga on the day of the duel…
    The Breaking Point: In order to even up the odds with Ranma,
    Ryoga is trying to learn the Breaking Point – a deadly technique
    which shatters rock at a single
    touch of a finger. Genma informs Ranma, and Ranma struggles to
    learn a counterattack to the supposedly deadly technique.
    Meanwhile, Akane has moved over to Ryoga's camp after being angry
    with Ranma, but ends up being the prize of the duel on the day of
    the fight..
    The Immortal Man: The day of the fight is at hand, and Ryoga
    shows he has mastered the deadly Breaking Point technique. Who
    knows what will happen if he touches Ranma? Ranma must use his
    skill to counter Ryoga's already incredible strength, all while
    not getting touched! It might even take the "Saotome Secret
    Technique" to beat this opponent…
    Fast Break: Ranma's discovered that not only can Ryoga shatter
    rocks with the Breaking Point technique, but that Ryoga is
    stronger against impacts as a result. Now Ranma has to use his
    "Saotome Secret Technique" (i.e. running away to buy time) in
    order to find a way to beat Ryoga. A quick series of punches by
    Ranma shows that he will have to use his speed to counter Ryoga's
    endurance. A tired Ranma must use his recently acquired speed
    quickly to defeat Ryoga, before the bandanna-wearing martial
    artist can defeat him with sheer power…
    The Way of Tea: Onna-Ranma just happens to save a man riding a
    horse from being injured, but the man ends up kidnapping
    Onna-Ranma and trying to make her his bride! Meet Sentaro, a man
    destined to marry Miss Satsuki, a martial arts Tea ceremony
    master. Onna-Ranma finds out that the reason Sentaro had
    kidnapped her was to defeat Miss Satsuki in combat, and though
    Onna-Ranma is quick to say she won't lose, she's still in a
    double bind, forced to either lose and admit defeat or win and
    marry Sentaro…
    Meet Miss Satsuki: To Sentaro's surprise and horror, Onna-Ranma
    reveals her curse to him when Sentaro again reiterates his desire
    to marry her after her duel. When Akane shows up following
    Onna-Ranma's trail, though, the battle really begins. Onna-Ranma
    has to master the techniques of the martial arts Tea Ceremony so
    that in the upcoming match with Miss Satsuki, she doesn't mess
    up! And Ranma and Akane find out that the problem that Sentaro
    has, however, is that Miss Satsuki is not exactly the bride he's
    been dreaming of!
    Proposal Accepted!: At first Onna-Rnama is reluctant to fight,
    but when "Miss Satsuki" attacks her she can't take the insult
    without retaliating. Using all the techniques she learned over a
    small amount of time, Onna-Rnama looks to be onthe verge of
    winning – until Sentaro attempts to off both her and Miss Satsuki
    in order to marry Akane. Fortunately, the real Miss Satsuki
    appears, and maybe Sentaro and the others can finally find out
    why a monkey was supposedly sent in her place…
    It's Fast or It's Free: A martial arts Takeout Delivery race has
    Akane and Onna-Ranma competing for a year's worth of food. The
    problem is that Shampoo's in the race too, and she's going to
    stop at nothing to win the race and impress Onna-Ranma. Throw in
    the fact that Kuno's house happens to be the randomly selected
    finish line of the race, and you've got a free-for-all to see who
    can get the free food to Kuno's house first and make him eat it!
    Funny how Kuno told Akane and his "pig-tailed goddess" that day
    that whoever reaches his house first gets to date with him…
    Eyes On the Prize: The race is on, and Shampoo attempts to put
    both Onna-Ranma and Akane out of the race by using a technique
    that blows up people's delivery boxes and damaging the food
    inside. The field is quickly narrowed to the three of them, and a
    three-way tie at Kuno's house makes the three girls enter into an
    every-person-for themselves fight where the object is to make
    Kuno eat their food…
    Noodles, Anyone?: The fight to make Kuno eat takeout continues,
    and Shampoo attempts to make Kuno eat it with yet another one of
    her moves – a noodle noose which wraps itself around the person's
    head like a vice and forces them to eat their way through it to
    breathe. Fortunately, Onna-Ranma is caught in it instead and
    Shampoo is forced to withdraw the technique. In the meantime,
    Kuno thinks that all three of these girls are out to date him,
    and an attempt to make a Kuno "harem" out of the three, Akane's
    food is accidentally knocked out and eaten by Shampoo and then
    Onna-Ranma…
    I Won't Eat It!: The fight gets taken up to the Kuno family
    baths, where Onna-Ranma happens to change back into a guy, also
    disqualifying Shampoo by ruining her food. There can only be a
    winner if someone eats the food, hwoever, and unfortunately as a
    guy, Ranma is not as able to convince Kuno to eat his takeout as
    much as he would be if he was a girl. An angry Kuno duels Ranma
    while Ranma is desperately trying to get Kuno to eat the food
    he's taken to him..and it may take some form of cold water in
    order to really convince Kuno to eat Ranma's already damaged
    food…

    6. Volume 6 (Light Orange
    Cover)

    The Evil Wakes: Who should show up but Soun and Genma's
    old martial arts master – Happosai, the founder of the
    Anything-Goes school of martial arts. It seems that a long time
    ago, Soun and Genma were suffering, i.e. "training", under
    Happosai's tutelage and that the two martial artists had gotten
    so sick of their abuse that they tricked Happosai and buried him
    in a mountain cave. However, now Happosai has escaped – but
    instead of taking revenge on Genma and Soun, he decides to
    "train" Ranma, the supposed next heir to the Tendo dojo and the
    Anything-Goes style. Ranma has to find a way not to get into
    trouble with a martial arts master that turns out to be the
    biggesst pervert in all of Japan…
    He's Something Else: Unfortunately, Happosai has turned out to be
    a really big pervert, and Ranma is saddled with being "trained"
    by the old panty thief. It's even worse for Ranma when Happosai
    finds out about his curse, because Happi's always trying to get
    Onna-Ranma into a certain piece of female clothing! Ranma has to
    win a duel against Happosai, or else he's going to find himself
    wearing a bra to school the next day!
    Bathhouse Battle: Happosai's been nothing but a pain in the
    behind for Ranma ever since he's shown up, and this instance is
    no exception. Happosai decides to "train" Ranma by trying to get
    him/her to stop him from peeking at the girls' side at the public
    baths. Unfortunately Ranma turns out to be the pervert in the
    girls' eyes, and especially in Akane's, who just happens to have
    shown up with Nabiki because of the Tendos' broken bathtub. It
    looks like the only way Ranma's going to be able to combat
    Happosai and his dreaded "Bathhouse Fu" is to turn into a girl
    and fight him on the girls' side. All Ranma has to do is stay
    away from the hot water…
    Moonlight Serenade: Ranma's got to stop Happosai from dressing up
    like P-chan and going to bed with Akane, after Happi finds out
    that the little black pig gets to sleep in Akane's bed every
    night. Little do both of them know that the real P-chan's (A.K.A.
    Ryoga) not too happy about being replaced, and despite Ranma's
    efforts, he and Ryoga have to team up in order to take on the old
    martial artist and stop him from excercising his perverted
    tendancies on the object of both their love and affection…
    The Wrath of Happosai: A rash of panty thefts have hit the Nerima
    neighborhood, and Ranma knows exactly who's the culprit. When
    Ranma cleans out Happosai's new collection of "silky darlings",
    he actually gets the martial arts master mad, and as Ranma's
    going to find out, the master's wrath is worse than death at
    times! Ordering outrageous amounts of takeout food and sending
    panty "ransom" notes to all the girls (all in Ranma's name) is
    just the beginning of Hapoosai's ire. Ranma, however, has got a
    plan to beat the perverted old man in his upcoming fight with
    him…
    The Scent of a Woman: Ranma's plan goes into action as Akane sews
    on a special patch onto Happosai's back. It seems that this patch
    produces a scent which is like a kind of tear gas to women, and
    when Happosai goes on his usual outings to rub up against pretty
    girls, he is puzzled, worried, and then angry at the fact that he
    seems to make the girls run away before he can even touch them.
    Ranma takes advantage of the situation and attacks Happosai,
    revealing his plan to him in the process, and an angry Happosai
    prepares to teach Ranma a lesson – until Happi appears to suffer
    from a case of "women withdrawal" and is too weak to even stand!
    Soun and Genma try to jump at the opportunity my trying to get
    rid of him, but a sympathetic Ranma rescues him and takes pity on
    the old man. This, however, proves to be Ranma's undoing, as a
    short cold rain and a glomping later, happosai has the advantage
    and Onna-Ranma is reeling back from her own trickery, her eyes
    tearing over because of the "woman repellent" on Happi's
    back…
    Fathers Know Best: Happosai attacks the weakened Onna-Ranma, and
    she desperately tries to find a way to beat him while attempting
    to ward off the "woman repellant" smell. Finally, witht he help
    of Akane, Ranma is able to get Happosai and lock him up in a tea
    kettle, and Soun and Genma show up to finish the job. However,
    Happosai's battle aura attack proves too much for almost
    everyone, and against all odds, Ranma has to beat him…until
    Genma-panda steps in to try and equal the mighty aura of
    Happosai…for a few seconds, anyway…
    Instant Spring: Soun and Genma think up of a scheme to get Ranma
    and Akane to work together – make up a character called the "Dojo
    Destroyer", who'll try to defeat the dojo's fighters and take
    their sign. Realizing the threat, Ranma and Akane will have to
    work together, right? It's a perfect plan until a real Dojo
    Destroyer shows up and challenges the Tendo dojo for the sign!
    Meanwhile, Shampoo presents a possible cure to Ranma – "Instant
    Nannichuan", a powder which turns any tub of water into a "Spring
    of Drowned Man". It's the perfect cure for Ranma, at last! All
    Ranma has to do is go on a date with Shampoo and the powder is
    his. Unfortunately for Akane and Ranma, the day of the date just
    happens to be the day of the fight with the Dojo Destroyer! Now
    Akane must face the Destroyer alone, but even she may be no match
    for someone such as this…
    No Need for Ranma: The day of the battle with the Dojo Destroyer
    is at hand, and Akane stands alone against him while Ranma's off
    on his date with Shampoo to get the "Instant Nannichuan". All
    Ranma has to do is end the date and he can get to Akane with the
    powder tucked away for later! But Shampoo will only end the date
    after receiving a "goodbye kiss" from her future husband! Ranma
    has to figure out a way to get out of this mess and help Akane
    (not to mention get the powder) before Akane is defeated by the
    deadly Dojo Destroyer…
    The Destroyer Strikes: Akane's got her hands full with the Dojo
    destroyer, and with her injured hand, she doesn't stand a chance
    of beating the huge sign-wielder. Ranma desperately tries to
    trick Shampoo into giving him the powder, and ends up having to
    trick her into giving him her bike so he can make it back to the
    dojo on time (genma ends up giving Ranma a "speed boost" by
    accidentally turning him into a girl and Shampoo into a cat,
    whcih makes Onna-Ranma pedal a _lot_ faster). Ranma ends up
    making it back in time to stop a fatal blow struck to Akane, and
    now he has to take on the Dojo Destroyer himself – all he has to
    do is not hit any of the Instant Nannichuan powder packets
    shampoo's placed on the Dojo Destroyer and he'll do just
    fine…
    Just One More Kiss: Onna-Ranma engages the Dojo Destroyer, but
    ends up hitting all the packets, at the same time, which were
    glued to all of the Dojo Destroyer's vital spots by Shampoo –
    vital spots that she was sure Ranma would instinctively go for!
    Now Ranma's at a loss, but Shampoo has one more – and she lies,
    telling everyone that she wants "one more kiss" from Rnama even
    though he never kissed her. Akane and Ranma end up fighting over
    the last packet and the supposed kiss, and Ranma angrily tears it
    up to show he is telling the truth. Akane apologizes at first to
    the supposedly hurt Ranma, but then ends up hitting him after a
    last packet is found in the Dojo Destroyer's clutches. Ranma and
    Genam eagerly try out the powder, at at fist it looks like it's
    working…until a cold rain just happens to fall the two
    supposedly cured martial artists…

    Cover)

    Wherefore Art Thou, Romeo?: Akane is apparently tired of
    being in plays. She hates playing the role of the tomboy and when
    the Furinkan High Theatre club tells her they want her to play
    the lead in their play, she flatly turns them down at first. But
    when the play happens to be "Romeo and Juliet", she's quick to
    take the part, to Ranma's surprise. It seems that as a kid, Akane
    starred in Romeo and Juliet – but as Romeo! This time, Akane gets
    to fulfill her dream of being Juliet. But it could be ruined by
    Happosai, Kunou, Gosunkugi, and Ranma (who's in it to wint he
    first prize trip to China), all of whom want Romeo's part and who
    have decided to have it out on the stage to find out who the
    _real_ Romeo is….
    Romeo? Romeo? Romeo!?: It's the dayof the contest,a nd everything
    seems to be in place for "Romeo and Juliet". Happosai attempts to
    prevent Ranma from showing by burying him in the yard, but Ranma
    manages to escape (cement block and all) to and get there on
    time. The play starts, and in the battle royal, Ranma comes out
    on top. Unfortunately for Akane and him both, he hasn't taken the
    time to memorize any lines..it's gonna take Soun and Genma to
    help Ranma through the love scene, but Ranma's adamantly refuses
    to kiss Akane in public..
    Not Your Typical Juliet: Ranma's unwilling to kiss Akane, drawing
    boos from the crowd. Happosai boots him away – but Ranma's set on
    earning that free trip to China..even if that means using a
    little cold water and turning himself into another Juliet!
    Meanwhile, a hurt Akane storms off the stage…
    A Kiss to the Victor: All Ranma has to do to win the contest and
    a chance to get to a cure, is finish a kissing scene with
    Akane/Juliet. But even though a cure for his curse is on the
    line, Ranma's just a little bit reluctant to do something like
    that in public with a person he might actually care about…
    Quest for the Hidden Spring: Ryoga just happens to find a map
    that leads to a "Japanese Nannichuan" – a sure-fire way to be
    cured without having to go all the way to China! Ranma teams with
    Ryoga, and together they set out, following the map to the
    "Spring of Drowned Man"'s location. But Ranma and Ryoga didn't
    count on the spring's location, which happens to be underneath
    the Furinkan High school's girls' locker room! Now Ranma and
    Ryoga have to team up and find a way to get into the room without
    getting kicked out for being total perverts…
    The Trouble With Girls' Locker Rooms: Ranma and Ryoga have agreed
    to try to get through a bunch of girls led by Akane, sworn to
    defend the locker room to the death against the two, even if the
    cure is right beneath their feet…Ranma and Ryoga try all sorts
    of schemes to get into the locker room, including Onna-Ranma
    sneaking in, Ryoga (as P-chan) trying to sneak in, and other
    things. But when Ryoga betrays Ranma and switches sides, Ranma
    has to try and disguise himself and get into the room again – but
    little does he know that a certain old pervert may become an
    unlikely (and unexpected) ally..
    From the Spring, Springs a Message: Ranma attempts to use scary
    creatures (snakes, frogs, and the like) to scare away the females
    gathered in front of the locker room. Managing to evade Akane and
    the others, Onna-Ranma finally gets into the room – only to be
    mistakenly attacked by Ryoga, who doesn't see through her
    disguise. Ranma has to use some trickery to get around Ryoga, and
    eventually has to explain to an angry Akane why she's going to
    all this trouble. The spring is finally found, but Ranma and
    Ryoga are going to find out that this particular spring has had
    some "technical problems"…
    The Way the Cookie Crumbles: Ranma's in a bad situation when he
    has to try Akane's new batch of cookies, but all of all people,
    Kodachi the Black Rose saves him by taking the cookies away.
    Ranma chases Kodachi, only to accidentally get trampled and fall
    into a very incriminating position on top of Kodachi! Gosunkugi
    happened to take a picture of the moment, and now Kodachi has
    copies of the pic and is spreading them all over town. Ranma has
    to get rid of them all and rushes out to stop the Black Rose from
    humiliating him and possibly getting ihm into trouble with
    Akane..
    Negative Feelings: Ranma at first tries to eat all the photos
    Kodahci is spreading around, but then realizes that the only way
    to get rid of the incriminating photo of him and Kodachi is to go
    to the Kuno estate and destroy the negative. The negative happens
    to be in Kodachi's pet alligator's collar, of all places, and
    Ranma has to get the collar off and avoid being electrocuted by
    it to get the negative. Meanwhile, Akane's followed Ranma to the
    Kuno house, and she's going to find more there than just her
    missing cookies…
    Take me Out to the Bathtub: Akane's sneaking around the Kuno
    estate, trying to find out what exactly has Ranma all nervous. In
    the process she acquires a copy of the photo from Kodachi…but
    unbeknowest to her it's been subtly doctored to show Ranma
    _kissing_ Kodachi! Meanwhile Onna-Ranma attempts to get the belt
    off of Kuno by pretending to seduce him. He succeeds in getting
    the negatives, but they make no difference to an angry Akane, who
    thinks they were in a more compromising position than he thinks
    they were in…
    ..I Ate the whole Thing: Akane's been trapped by Kodachi and now
    Ranma has to outsmart both Kuno and Kodachi to get to her. Ranma
    may even have to eat some of Kodachi's "treated" food in order to
    get the key to the negative and free Akane. Ranma may end up
    being forced to make the infamous photo a reality, though, and
    Akane could be the only one that can save him…

    Turquoise Cover)

    "Okonomiyaki" Means "I Love You": Meet Ukyou Kuonji, a
    new student at Furinkan High. Where did Ukyou come from, and why
    is Ukyou after Genma and Ranma with a vengeance? Ukyou beats up
    Genma, and then goes after Ranma with a grudge that goes all the
    way back to Ranma's early childhood, when Ukyou was robbed of
    honor by the unknowing Ranma. Ranma's totally clueless as to why
    Ukyou would be so mad at him, and the frustration on Ukyou's part
    causes her to challenge Ranma to a fight after school…
    Saucy Reply:A match on a giant hotplate is only the beginning of
    Ranma's troubles, as Ukyou furiously attacks Ranma with all the
    pent-up fury that has resided within for ten years. Ranma takes
    all that he can before lauching an angry counterattack on the
    surprised Ukyou, and when Ukyou flees, Ranma follows. However,
    Ranma's about to find that there's definitely more to Ukyo Kuonji
    than he thinks!
    Ukyo's Secret: It turns out, according to Genma, that Ukyou is
    really a girl, and that she was to be Ranma's fiancee, even
    though Genma had already made an arrangement with the Tendos.
    However, Genma had no intention of going through with the deal,
    and made off with the okonomiyaki cart that was the dowry. Ukyou
    had thus promised revenge. After a severe beating from most of
    the female Furinkan High population, a guilty Ranma tries to make
    up with Ukyou, and ends up making an offhand remark about her
    being cute, much to the embarassment of Ukyou and the jealousy of
    Akane. Ukyou ends up making up with Ranma, and now it appears
    Ranma has yet another fiancee to deal with…
    Ryoga vs. Ukyo: It's the next day after the Ukyou incident and
    everyone has heard about Ranma's new fiancee, including a very
    angry Ryouga, who attacks him. After a double team by Ukyou and
    Ranma, however, Ryouga ends up in the school hospital. Ukyou
    happens to see Ryouga depressed about his feelings for Akane and
    promises to set Ryouga and Akane up for a date to help him…
    Love Letters in the Sauce: Ukyou writes a love letter on an
    okonomiyaki to deliver to Akane, supposedly from Ryouga, in the
    hopes that the two will hit it off and she can have "Ran-chan"
    all to herself. A random ocurence which ruins part of the letter,
    however, has Akane thinking the meeting is a challenge from
    Ukyou! Akane shows up for a supposed duel, but is surprised to
    find out that she's on a date with Ryouga instead. Meanwhile, a
    jealous Ranma finds out about Ukyou's plan and makes preparations
    to foil it himself..
    Ryoga's What?!: As everyone's about to find out, Ukyou's plot to
    set up Ryouga and Akane doesn't necessarily go as planned, and
    things get worse when a jealous Ranma disguises him/herself as
    Ryoga's fiancee. Ryouga's unsure of what to do, and an argument
    between Akane and Ranma causes Akane to go on a date with Ryouga
    to spite Ranma…
    At Long Last…the Date!:It's a dream situation for Ryouga as he
    finally gets to go on a date with Akane. However, neither of them
    are aware of Ranma and Ukyou observing in the shadows…and on
    top of all that, a lake of cold water isn't the best place for
    Ryoga to be in a situation like this…especially when Ryouga's
    "fiancee" decides to make a re-appearance…
    Happosai Days are Here Again: Ranma and co. decide to go take a
    vacation on the beach and just relax for awhile, and in all good
    fun Ranma and Shampoo attempt to set up Shampoo's
    great-grandmother Cologne and the old perverted Happosai.
    However, this proves to be a mistake when it's shown that
    Happosai stole an heirloom from Cologne a long time ago – a
    treasure that has three magic pills on it. As Happosai escapes,
    Cologne ominously warns Ranma, Shampoo, and Akane about the
    deadly treasure…
    One Moment to Love: After Cologne explains the effect of the
    treasure Happosai has stolen, it's clear that the whole female
    cast had better watch out. You see, each of the three pills, when
    taken, causes the user to fall in love with the first person of
    the opposite sex they see. One pill's effect lasts a few minutes,
    another a day, and the last, a lifetime. Because Ranma actually
    happens to fall in love with Cologne, of all people, after
    accidentally taking one of the pills, the pills' effects are
    proven to be true. It'a race to see who can take advantage of the
    pills as Happosai, Shampoo and Ranma all try to get the precious
    treasure for themselves…
    I Won't Fall in Love!: Akane's accidentally swallowed one of the
    pills, and without knowing which pill it is, yet! Ranma's got to
    keep Akane from looking at any men until a cure can be found.
    Fate seems to almost work against Ranma, though, when practically
    the entire major male cast come looking for Akane. Ranma better
    find a way to cure Akane, even if it means getting her to fall in
    love with him…
    Abduction of…Akane?: Akane's new stuffed pig gets kidnapped by
    a returning Mousse, and at the same time, Ranma, Akane, and
    Shampoo are mysteriously invited to the circus. The three decide
    to go to the circus in order to get Akane's stuffed pig back, and
    Onna-Ranma becomes the unwilling subject of a crcus trick
    involving a very familiar-looking duck and some knives…
    Duck, Ranma, Duck!: It turns out that Mousse has acquired his own
    Jusenkyo curse, and has brought back some of the cursed water in
    order to get Ranma with it. After an unsuccessful attempt to
    splash Ranma with the waters, Mousse kidnaps Akane instead, and
    is threatening to use the cursed waters on her unless Ranma comes
    in time to save her…

    Cover)

    Akane Becomes a Duck: Ranma has to save Akane before
    Mousse can turn her into a duck with the "Yazuniichuan" cursed
    spring water. Little does Ranma know that Mousse has set a trap
    for Ranma to splash him, instead! And when Akane supposedly gets
    hit with the water and turns into a duck, Ranma's really going to
    be in trouble…
    Fowl Play: Ranma, thinking that the duck lying in the tent is
    Akane, guiltily attempts to change her back at home, without much
    success. Luckily, Akane gets home before the wedding between
    Ranma and "Akane" the duck can take place. Meanwhile, Mousse is
    in tears over his failure to get Ranma out of the way. Akane,
    pitying Mousse, tells Mousse to challenge Ranma again, and
    guarantees a win for him. And when Shampoo agrees to date with
    Mousse if he beats Ranma, Akane's plan goes into action. All
    Ranma has to do is lose on purpose…
    The Happiest Mousse: Akane's planning to have Rnama lose on
    purpose for Mousse's sake, but little do they know that Shampoo
    has her own plans for the fight. In an attempt to make him lose,
    Shampoo sabotages the weapons she hands to Mousse. However,
    despite all this an enraged Mousse is able to give Ranma a run
    for his money with multiple weapon attacks. Ranma eventually
    wins, and Mousse may have actually won some sympathy from
    Shampoo…
    Tsubasa Kurenai Busts Loose!: There's a new person in town –
    Tsubasa Kurenai, the master of camouflage and the one who was
    after Ukyou's heart when she was posing as a boy back at her old
    school. Tsubasa has finally caught up with the okonomiyaki chef,
    but when Tsubasa finds out that Ukyou is "engaged" to the female
    Ranma, she calls her ugly, much to the chagrin of Onna-Ranma
    herself. And despite being shown that Ukyou is actually a girl,
    Tsubasa still declares intent to pursue Ukyou until she is
    Tsubasa's…
    Lunchtime Lunacy: At school, Tsubasa challenges female Ranma to a
    cuteness contest to see who gets to have Ukyou. A tie in the
    contest (after much self-degradation on Onna-Ranma's) has Ranma
    win by default, and a hurt Tsubasa leaves to be alone. After a
    friendly comforting by a sympathethic Onna-Ranma, however,
    Tsubasa has a new target for love..Ranma!
    The Perfect Match: Tsubasa's really after the female Ranma, and
    just to prove how fickle he is, he even attempts to go after
    Akane, too. Ranma attempts to get rid of Tsubasa by trying to
    charm Tsubasa while a male. However, as both Ranma and Akane are
    about to find out, there's more to this new suitor of Ukyou's
    than meets the eye!
    Ryoga, Come Home: When Ryouga finds out that his dog Checkers has
    had puppies, he has the sudden need to find his way home right
    away, especially since Akane asked to come over to see them!
    Ryouga has to enlist the help of Ranma, who took him home a lot
    when they were in junior high, in order to get himself home so he
    can finally be alone with Akane. But when Ranma finds out what
    Ryouga's true intent was in bringing him home, he makes plans to
    make sure Ryouga's plan to get Akane doesn't work…
    Oh, Brother!: Ranma's determined to keep Ryouga from confessing
    his feelings for Akane, even if it means masquerading as the Lost
    Boy's supposed long-lost sister! Ranma subtly thwarts Ryouga's
    attempts to get to flirt with Akane, as Akane herself is getting
    suspicious about this sister of Ryouga's who calls herself
    "Yoiko"…
    Get Lost, Yoiko!: Onna-Ranma's starting to regret disguising
    himself as Ryouga's sister as the overprotective and caring
    Ryouga tries to keep his "sister" out of trouble, and Akane's
    suspicion increases with each moment. Onna-Ranma almost ditches
    Ryouga completely, but a stray puppy of Ryouga's dog Checkers
    makes her go back. Unfortunately, this causes Ryouga to
    eventually find out about Ranma's disguise himself…
    The Ultimate Technique: Happosai gets angry at Soun, Genma, and
    Ranma, and decides to unearth a long-buried scroll containing one
    of his ultimate techniques – the "Happo Daikarin", or "Happo
    Fire-Burst". With it, he can finally take his revenge on his
    three disciples. Soun, Genma, and Ranma, though, plan to team up
    and get the scroll out of the place where it is hidden. However,
    the scroll just happens to be buried near a women's hot
    spring…
    Get the Secret Scroll!: The bumps and bruises gotten from the
    women at the hot spring where the Happo Daikarin scroll is
    located cause Ranma, Genma, and Soun to try and think of other
    ways to acquire it. After a few failed attempts, Happosai
    successfully infiltrates the spring. Not to be outdone, Ranma, in
    female form, does the same. Things are even made more difficult
    by the fact that Akane is at the spring, too. Now it's a race
    between Happosai and the team of Soun, Genma, and Ranma to get
    the scroll. Let's just hope, however, that they'll be able to
    read the master's horrible handwriting….
    The Fire-Burst of Terror: Ranma, Soun, and Genma devise a plan to
    capture Happosai so he can read the near illegible Happo Daikarin
    scroll to them. In a fit of frustration, however, Happosai
    destroys the scroll, and now it seems that the technique will
    never be learned. But a chance hit on the head causes Happosai to
    finally remember the technique, and after Soun and Genma go down
    from a surprise attack from Happosai, Ranma has to defeat
    Happosai before the Happo Daikarin can down him as well…even if
    it is just a homemade firework…

    Cover)

    Embraceable You: A chance mistake in the Cat Cafe's orders
    is the origin of Shampoo's latest scheme to get Ranma. It so
    happens that the magic mushrooms she now possesses can, when
    consumed by someone, force them to follow a certain command at a
    hypnotic signal from the user. Shampoo uses the mushrooms on
    Ranma, but Kunou sneezes at a vital moment and messes up the
    spell. Now whenever someone sneezes, Ranma glomps onto the
    nearest person…and with no one home and Akane coming down with
    a case of the sniffles, it's a disaster waiting to happen…
    Hold Me Close: Chaos reigns at the Tendo dojo, where Ranma and
    Akane are alone..but not for long! Shampoo and Kunou show up in
    an attempt to use Ranma's (and later, Akane's) hypnotic problem
    for their own ends. Ranma and Akane have to hold them both off,
    but the biggest challenge may come when they're back alone…
    Akane's Power-Up!: Akane's been pretty strong as of late, but
    she's still not strong enough to take Shampoo on. So when Akane
    accidentally devours a bowl of soba noodles that boost strength,
    she's more than a match for Shampoo in the upcoming Anything-Goes
    Badminton Tournament. Even Ranma doesn't believe it – until he
    gets beaten about a hundred times in arm wrestling Akane…
    Super Badminton: Akane and Shampoo duke it out, and Ranma finds
    out from Soun that the Super Soba has strange side effects to
    whoever uses it. Now Ranma has to get past Shampoo, and then give
    Akane the antidote, and when Shampoo makes things equal by eating
    Super Soba of her own, Ranma's caught int eh middle of a
    strongwoman's battle royale…
    Serious Side Effects: Akane won't take the Super Soab antidote,
    so Ranma has to enter the tournament as a female to force her to
    do so. Akane's pretty tough all powered up, however, and Ranma is
    working against not only a powerful Akane, but against time as
    well…because the side effects of the Soba could take place at
    any time…
    The Return of the Principal: The Principal of Furinkan has
    returned to from Hawaii to stir up some big trouble for his
    "keiki". It seems that the Principal has ordered a new "hair
    code" policy – one that has the boys and girls of Furinkan in an
    uproar, especially Ranma – who is supposed to be one of its first
    victims. Now the students have to find the cocnut with the pardon
    from the new rules inside, or face the horror of bowl and buzz
    cuts…
    Journey into the Principal's Office: The army of students,
    including Kunou, Akane,a dn Ranma, amke their way into the
    Principal's "office" – a jungle of Hawaiian atmosphere. The
    student have to hold off repeated attempts to cut their hair and
    find the cocnut with the pardon in it. Meanwhile, Ranma, in
    female form, has disguised herself in an attempt to get the
    pardon from the Principal by tricking him into helping her…
    The Principal of the Thing: The Principal has forgotten where he
    hid the pardon to the rules, infuriating Ranma. Meanwhile, Akane
    and the others have broken every coconut in the place, but have
    come up empty-handed. The principal tells his students that he
    will help them find the pardon only if they find his long lost
    son whom he hasn't seen in three years. And when Kunou turns out
    to be the son, there's a tearful reunion – followed by a vicious
    duel between father and son. The Principal had shaved his son's
    hair three years ago, and Kunou has been thinking of revenge ever
    since. Later, as Kunou has been botoed away from Ranma, the
    Principal reveals that he drew the map to the pardon on Kunou's
    head with special permanent ink three years ago. Now the students
    have to find Kunou, and shave his head to get the pardon…
    One Hairy Day: The students find Kunou, but fail to shave his
    head. Ranma desperately tries to seduce him in female form, but
    also fails when Kunou goes too far in accepting Ranma's
    "advances". The Principal attacks as a giant hair-clipping
    lobster, and Ranma fends him off, chasing him back to his
    hideout. Unfortunately, Ranma is captured when the cocnut
    containing the pardon is used by the Principal to knock him
    out..
    Shear Folly: Ranma is tied upside-down, an intended first victim
    of the Principal's new hair rules. The students and Akane come to
    rescue Ranma, and Ranma narrowly misses getting his hair cut as a
    duel ensues again between Kunou and his father. Ranma finally
    defeats the Principal, and gets the pardon, but is it really the
    end of the Principal's new hair rules?
    Gonna Make you Tardy: Principal Kunou's made another new rule –
    whoever is tardy this week spends time cleaning the toilets. To
    get revenge for defeating him earlier, the Principal intends to
    target Ranma with this rule and make him scrub the
    bathrooms…

    11. Volume 11 (Light
    Purple Cover)

    The Soap of Happiness: Ryouga returns to Nerima once
    again, still dejected over not being able to confess his true
    feelings for Akane, and writes a letter to Akane in green ink in
    order to impress her (green ink was said to inspire love in the
    recipient). At the bathouse, Ryouga tries to bring the letter to
    Akane, who is there, but is promptly beaten up by Ranma, who also
    happens to be there. Meanwhile, on the girls' side, a confident
    Shampoo shows up to talk to Akane, holding a magical soap that's
    guaranteed not to change you if you're Jusenkyo cursed. Ryouga,
    however, accidentally gets a hold of the soap, and after
    unknowingly using it, is surprised to find out he doesn't change
    when he happens to be splashed by cold water in front of Akane.
    Now Ryouga is finally jubilant to be rid of his curse, and Ranma
    is left to wonder exactly how Ryouga's managed a permanent
    cure…
    Cupids, Draw Back Your Bow: Confident in his ability to ask out
    Akane now that he's supposedly permanently cured, Ryouga resolves
    to ask out Akane when he sees her next, while beating up a
    suddenly friendly Ranma who wants to know the secret of his cure.
    Akane does happen to show up, but Ryouga ends up being too scared
    to tell her how he truly feels. Ranma then finds out from Shampoo
    about Ryouga's "cure" (the magic soap), and resolves to
    temporarily team with Shampoo in order to get the soap back. As
    "Kew" and "Pid", the Twins of Love, Onna-Ranma and Shampoo try to
    trick Ryouga (who's easily fooled by their horrible disguises)
    into giving them the soap, and almost succeed, but when
    Onna-Ranma is fighting Shampoo for the soap, it is accidentally
    put into the hands of Ryouga yet again, who finally learns of the
    soap's properties and resolves "never to let the soap go", much
    to Ranma's frustration…
    Don't Follow Me: Ranma manages to sneak attack Ryouga while he's
    deep in thought about the soap, but then finds out Ryouga has
    tricked him into taking a decoy soap which doesn't work at all.
    Onna-Ranma regroups, and with Shampoo (masquerading once again as
    Kew and Pid) tricks Ryouga into thinking Akane has asked him out
    on a date, giving him a meeting place to meet her. Meanwhile,
    Akane is puzzled over a letter she got, supposedly from Ryouga,
    that said to meether in a certain place – and then Ryouga shows
    up, claiming to have heard that Akane asked her out! Onna-Ranma
    and Shampoo, as Kew and Pid, ambush Ryouga at the meeting palce
    and attempt to take the soap, but Ryouga manages to uncover their
    disguises at last. Akane is hurt because she thinks Ranma's being
    mean to Ryouga, and decides to take out Ryouga on a real date,
    much to Ranma's jealousy. Now Ranma and Shampoo have one more
    attempt to get the soap from Ryouga, but first they have to trick
    the two into getting separated in a haunted house…
    Who Do You Love?: Unsuccessful in their attempts to get the soap,
    Ranma and Shampoo try yet again to get the soap from Ryouga, but
    are quickly foiled yet again. Becoming more and more confident by
    the minute that he's on a real date with Akane, Ryouga decides to
    try and confess his real feelings to Akane, but is stopped just
    short by a jealous Ranma. Akane is later hit by Shampoo's special
    "puppet acupuncture" technique and unwillingly hugs Ryouga,
    getting the soap from him, much to Ranma's anger and Ryouga's
    extreme happiness. Unfortunately, just as Shampoo speeds past
    Akane and Ryouga, Ranma just happens to be standing in the way,
    and Shampoo unknowingly stuffs the soap down Ranma's
    throat…
    Give Me a Little Hug: Ranma now has to attempt to disguise
    himself as "Ryouga's girlfriend" in order to get Akane back from
    him, but is promtpy foiled by both Shampoo and Akane, who want
    hijm to cough up the soap. A hugely confident Ryouga then
    suddenly becomes more bold, chasing Akane around declaring his
    love for her, much to Akane's horror, seeing as Ryouga's
    destroying everything in his way to get to Akane! Now only Ranma
    can save Akane from Ryouga's rather unintentional rough love, and
    disguises himself in female form as Akane. But can even a
    disguised Onna-Ranma stand the loving hug of a passionate
    Ryouga?
    The Legendary Moxibustion of Evil: Ranma just happens to foil one
    of Happosai's recent panty raids, angering Happosai and forcing
    him to attack Ranma with a special moxibustion which makes the
    victim as weak as a baby, able to be beaten up by anyone! An
    ineffective attack on Ranma's part proves this, as he is easily
    beaten up by Kunou and even a little kid. Now Ranma must try to
    find the cure, and try to stop a vengeful Happosai, who's been
    spreading rumors and letters about Ranma's weakness – a surefire
    way to get the attention of Ranma's many rivals, who have all
    been holding grudges against him…
    The World's Weakest Man: Ranma is still weak, and not even
    Happosai knows the cure to the moxibustion technique he placed on
    Ranma. Later at school, nearly all of Ranma's rivals finally come
    calling to collect their revenge, and Ranma is promptly beaten
    up. At the height of defeat, however, Ranma is saved by a piteous
    Ryouga, who hits him away in sadness for his rival's fall.
    Meanwhile, Akane has found a possible cure for Ranma's weakness,
    but now she must tell Ranma before Ukyou happens to convince
    Ranma off the futility of his supposedly helpless
    situation…
    Weak For Life?!: As Cologne finds out about Ranma's weakness,
    Akane, Ranma and Ukyou all go to the supposed place for the cure
    for the weakness moxibustion – an ancient temple of scrolls and
    charts. However, much to their disappointment, the cure (a chart
    which shows how to cure the moxbustion) was stolen by a certain
    evil martial artist a long time ago. Now Ranma, though weak, has
    to confront Happosai to get the chart..but he'll have to defeat
    the evil master when he's not even willing to hold back…
    The Valley of Moxibustion: Ranma and Genma have left the Tendo
    Dojo permanently for the mountains, unwilling to return until a
    cure is found for Ranma's weakness. Ukyou comes with them in
    order to help train Ranma, and when Akane finds out their
    location, sets off to find him. Meanwhile, all of Genma's
    attempts have failed and even his supposed "ultimate technique"
    turns out to be a stupidly contrived technique with a fancy name.
    Now Ranma's only hope appears to be Cologne's secret technique,
    the Hiryu Shoten Ha, and after one demonstration, Rnama resolves
    to learn the technique in three days. Meanwhile, Akane has
    finally found a rejuvenated Ranma who is promptly hit for
    commenting on Akane's cooking…
    Training in the Spiral of Hell: Ranma is involved in intense
    study with Cologne about the Hiryu Shoten Ha, and discovers the
    first step of the technique – that it follows the pattern of a
    spiral. Unfortunately, Ranma's attempts to master the second
    step, trying to step in a spiral, all fail as Ranma fails to keep
    his cool. Ranma masters the steps in another day's time, but now
    a roadblock is reached – without an opponent who won't fight back
    with all their strength and with no mercy, Ranma has no chance of
    learning the technique. However, salvation may come in the form
    of a certain martial artist with a yellow and black bandanna and
    an umbrella…
    The Inflammable Man: Ryouga's training with Ranma quickly becomes
    pointless – even he cannot fight with all his strength against
    Ranma because he pities him. Akane tries to help Ranma by using
    flaming gloves to attack Ranma (thereby replacing the "hot"
    battle aura needed for the Hiryu Shoten Ha), but only ends up
    burning the top of her gi off, much to Ranma's annoyance. An
    argument ensues, an in the middle of it walks the Eternally Lost
    Boy Ryouga, who misinterprets Akane's torn clothing, tears, and
    Ranma's apologies as something much more than they should be.
    Ryouga's hot battle aura finally flares up as he challenges
    Ranma, and Ranma ponders whether or not this is the aura needed
    to learn his deadly technique…
