List of Ranma ½ chapters
Ranma ½ is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Rumiko Takahashi. Published by Shogakukan, it was serialized in Weekly Shōnen Sunday magazine from August 1987 to March 1996. The story revolves around a teenage boy named Ranma Saotome who has trained in martial arts since early childhood. As a result of an accident during a training journey, he is cursed to become a girl when splashed with cold water, while hot water changes him back into a boy. Throughout the series Ranma seeks out a way to rid himself of his curse, while his friends, enemies and many fiancées constantly hinder and interfere.
Volume 1 cover of the 2003 edition released by Viz Media.
Shortly after serialization began, Shogakukan began collecting the chapters into tankōbon format. 38 volumes were released between April 1988 and June 1996, just three months after the final chapter was serialized in Weekly Shōnen Sunday. Between April 2002 and October 2003, Shogakukan re-released Ranma ½ in a 38 volume shinsōban edition, with new cover art.[1][2] A B6-sized edition of the series was published in 20 volumes between July 2016 and January 2018.[3][4]
In the early 1990s, Viz Media licensed Ranma ½ for English release in North America. They published the manga in a monthly comic book format that contained two chapters each issue from June 1992 to 2003; the last being Part 12, Issue 1.[5][6][7] Their English release "flipped" the images to read left-to-right, causing the art to be mirrored. Viz also periodically published the chapters into a graphic novel format, similar to the Japanese tankōbon, with 21 volumes released between May 1993 and January 2003.[8]
Having earlier ceased publication of all manga in the comic book format,[7] Viz posted a press release on March 18, 2004 announcing that they were changing their graphic novel format and would reprint all earlier volumes to match.[9] However, the reprints of Ranma ½ actually began in 2003.[10] Starting with volume 22, the content of this "second edition" remained the same, with mirrored art, but moved to a smaller format with different covers and a price drop.[9] The 36th and final volume was released on November 14, 2006. In 2013, Viz Media announced that they would be re-releasing Ranma ½ in a "2-in-1 edition" that combines two individual volumes into a single large one. For the first time in English, this edition restores the original art and right-to-left reading order.[11] 19 volumes were released between March 11, 2014 and March 14, 2017.

| Genma Saotome returns to Japan from a fateful martial arts training trip to the Jusenkyo springs with his son Ranma in which the former is cursed to transform into a panda and the latter into a teenage girl when splashed with cold water. Hot water reverses the effect. They move in with Genma's old friend Soun Tendo, at his Nerima, Tokyo home, with the expectation that one of his three daughters will marry Ranma. The eldest Kasumi and elder Nabiki force their little sister Akane to accept the betrothal. Akane and Ranma instantly dislike each other due to Akane's mistrust of boys and Ranma's curse. Ranma enrolls in Furinkan High School where he meets Tatewaki Kuno, the arrogant captain of the kendo club and the one who spread the rumor that Akane will date any boy who defeats her in combat. Kuno mistakes Ranma's female form as a separate person and falls in love with her. Though he easily defeats Kuno a number of times, Ranma sustains injuries as he attempts to hide his curse. Over the course of several visits to Dr. Tofu's medical clinic, Ranma discovers that Akane has a crush on the doctor. | |||

| Dr. Tofu, on the other hand, is so madly in love with Kasumi that he absent-mindedly injures his patients when in her presence. Ranma cheers Akane up over this fact by noting "you're cute when you smile". After weeks of being perpetually lost, Ryoga Hibiki arrives at Furinkan to take revenge on Ranma for always nabbing the last cafeteria bread in middle school. Over the course of their fight, one of Ryoga's razor sharp bandanas cuts off Akane's long hair, a symbol of her affection for Dr. Tofu. Akane decides to keep her hair short, having gotten over her schoolgirl crush on the doctor. Later, Ranma discovers the real reason for Ryoga's hatred: Ryoga also gained a curse while following Ranma and Genma, turning into a small black piglet. Akane takes a liking to the piglet, not knowing his true identity, and nicknames him P-chan. While in town, Ranma meets Kuno's sister Kodachi, a rhythmic gymnast who has been sabotaging the Furinkan gymnastics team before the "rhythmic gymnastic wrestling" match. The injured Furinkan girls ask Akane to take their place. Ryoga offers to train her when she appears to lack the necessary grace for the sport. | |||

| In trying to apprehend P-chan, Ranma inadvertently catches the attention of Kodachi, who had been trying to ambush Akane as well. Kodachi soon mirrors Kuno's delusion, loving the male Ranma and loathing the female. Kodachi declares that the winner of the gymnastics match will get to date Ranma. Akane manages to evade all of Kodachi's subsequent tricks but sprains her ankle on the night before the match, forcing a female Ranma to go in her place. At the start of the competition, Kodachi chains P-chan to Ranma's arm and uses a variety of rule-bending weapons to rig the match. Ranma forces a ring-out by attacking the post beneath Kodachi, winning the fight for Furinkan. At an ice rink, P-chan is kidnapped by a martial arts skater and renamed "Charlotte". The skater, Azusa Shiratori, and her pair skating partner Mikado Sanzenin challenge Ranma and Akane to a martial skating battle over ownership of the piglet. While practicing, Mikado steals Ranma's first kiss, which infuriates him so much that they go one-on-one. Ranma barely beats Mikado but takes his strongest attack in the process. Just before the actual match, Mikado declares that he will kiss Akane over the course of the fight. | |||

| Azusa and Mikado try to break the trust between Ranma and Akane with their "Couple Cleaver", but Ranma foils the attack. Ryoga attempts to swap in for Ranma but finds himself paired with female Ranma instead. Azusa and Mikado attempt another Couple Cleaver which easily splits the rivals-turned-pair partners. Ryoga destroys the rink in anger only to find cold water underneath. Fearing transforming before Akane's eyes, Ryoga quickly dispatches the opposing skaters and continues his fight with Ranma over Akane. Akane nearly drowns trying to stop their fighting. As she recovers, a Chinese Amazon warrior named Shampoo barges in trying to kill Ranma. She seeks revenge for dishonoring her in front of her village and gave female Ranma the "kiss of death". Back at the Tendo dojo, Ranma defeats Shampoo as a male, which acts as a marriage proposal, according to Amazon law. During Shampoo and Akane's fight over Ranma, Shampoo uses a special shampoo to make her selectively forget about Ranma. Ranma attempts to get the cure from Shampoo but ultimately breaks the spell by insulting Akane until she remembers. Ranma reveals his curse to Shampoo which confuses her enough to make her return to China. | |||

| Kuno hires Hikaru Gosunkugi, a fan of the occult, to discover Ranma's weak spot. The Tendos learn that he has a fear of cats, as a result of his father's "cat-fist" training. This secret technique causes Ranma to become feral when exposed to too many cats. Gosunkugi triggers this state, not knowing its fearsome power, and Ranma goes on a rampage. Akane calms him down with catnip which leads to their first kiss. Shampoo returns from China with a curse as well, hers to turn into a kitten. She opens a ramen shop with her great-grandmother Cologne, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, shiatsu, and moxibustion techniques. They are joined by the hidden weapons master Mousse, a male Amazon competing for Shampoo's affection. Cologne strikes a pressure point on Ranma's body, causing him to become hypersensitive to heat, which prevents him from reversing his curse. Ranma takes a job at Shampoo's restaurant in order to get the Phoenix Pill, a cure for the pressure point. In order to gain enough speed to snatch the pill from Cologne, Ranma must master the Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire technique—to grab chestnuts out of a fire without getting burned. Ranma succeeds by training on piranhas at a festival but fails to get the pill. | |||

| Ranma chases Cologne to the beach where he competes in a melon-splitting race with the pill as a prize. The race ends with a one-on-one fight between Cologne and Ranma. Ranma uses Shampoo to activate his cat-fist, ending the fight and earning the pill. Ryoga accepts training from Cologne when he discovers how skilled Ranma has become. Ranma, Genma, and Akane also go training in the same mountains where they learn of Akane's severe inability to cook. Akane observes Cologne teaching the Breaking Point technique, which can shatter rocks with a single poke. On the other hand, Ranma trains by fighting bees, which turns his Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire into a series of hundreds of lightning fast punches. Ryoga exhibits superhuman endurance in their fight as a result of his training, forcing Ranma to end the match quickly with his hundred fists. Later, Ranma is kidnapped by Sentaro Daimonji, a master of martial arts tea ceremony. In order to nullify his betrothal to a monkey, Daimonji must find someone who can defeat it in a tea ceremony battle. Ranma agrees and fights the monkey, who turns out to be the real betrothed's pet. Daimonji marries happily and leaves for his honeymoon. | |||

| Ranma, Akane, and Shampoo enter the Miss Martial Arts Takeout contest, attempting to deliver an order to the designated house first—Kuno's. The race ends in a three-way tie between them, leading to the next event: feeding the host. Ranma wins by feeding his takeout to Kuno. Later, Soun and Genma's perverted old master Happosai returns after having been sealed under a boulder for ten years. Happosai begins terrorizing the local women, disrupting the girls' gym period and a local bathhouse. He also goes on a lingerie-stealing spree, which Ranma and Genma stop, invoking his ire. Happosai takes his revenge by pulling an unending series of pranks. Ranma has Akane sew a woman-repelling odor patch into Happosai's clothes, depriving him of the female contact that powers his chi. Drained of his energy source, Happosai is defeated. | |||

| A challenger appears to take the Tendo dojo's sign and Shampoo appears with "Instant Spring of Drowned Man" powder, which might cure Ranma's condition. Ranma agrees to a date with Shampoo in exchange for the powder on the same day that the dojo challenge is to occur, forcing Akane to defend the dojo on her own. Ranma is too distracted during Shampoo's date and ends up returning to the dojo to help defeat the challenger. Ranma swipes the powder from Shampoo but it turns out to be one-time use and not a true cure. Later, the drama club casts Akane as Juliet in their production of Romeo and Juliet, with Kuno, Gosunkugi, and Happosai competing for the role of Romeo. Ranma joins in when he discovers the community theater prize to be an "invitation to see China". Ranma is unable to complete the dramatic kissing scene and instead attempts to play the part of Juliet. This ploy fails and he returns to his Romeo costume to finish the play, kissing Akane with the help of some tape over his mouth. They win the trip to see Xian "China" Li, a Chinese actor. Ryoga finds a map to a Japanese Spring of Drowned Man, which is located underneath the girl's locker room, guarded vigorously by Akane and her classmates. Unfortunately, the spring is no longer functional, depriving Ranma and Ryoga of another cure. | |||

| Kodachi and Akane bake cookies for Ranma in home economics class. Kodachi steals Akane's cookies and Ranma is photographed in a compromising position while trying to retrieve them. In order to retrieve the negatives, he ventures to the Kuno residence where they are guarded by a pet alligator and an electrocuting collar. He destroys the negatives and escapes with Akane's help, though Akane's cooking has not been improved by Kasumi's training. In school, a new student named Ukyo Kuonji transfers in with a specialty in martial arts okonomiyaki cooking. Ukyo holds a grudge against Ranma and Genma for stealing the family okonomiyaki cart many years ago and challenges Ranma to a duel. During their battle, Ranma discovers that Ukyo is a woman and also his fiancée—the okonomiyaki cart was to be the dowry, but Genma escaped without taking Ukyo. However, Ukyo forgives Ranma when she observes him and Akane not getting along, seeing a chance to fulfill her marriage promise. To that end, she sets Ryoga up on a date with Akane. Ranma attempts to sabotage the date by disguising himself as "Ryoga's fiancée" to varying degrees of success. | |||

| The family goes to the beach where Happosai continues his dirty escapades. Ranma introduces him to Cologne, though they had already met many years previous. Happosai had stolen a bracelet containing three love pills from Cologne's village. The third and most dangerous pill induces love for a lifetime. Akane inadvertently swallows the lifetime pill and Ranma tries to prevent her from seeing any men. She regurgitates it before any lasting harm is done. At another festival, Mousse returns to defeat Ranma, having gained a cold water curse as well. Mousse fell into the Spring of Drowned Duck and brought some of its water with him in order to humiliate Ranma. He kidnaps Akane and threatens her with the water but fails to curse anyone before running out. In a later duel, Ranma attempts to throw the match and let Mousse date Shampoo but his pride would not let him. Shampoo takes Mousse in out of pity. Back at school, a master of disguise named Tsubasa Kurenai appears to take revenge on Ranma for his engagement to Ukyo. Ranma and Tsubasa have an okonomiyaki selling match to prove who's more attractive. When Tsubasa falls for female Ranma, he finds out that Tsubasa is actually a cross-dresser, which explains his love for Ukyo. | |||

| Ryoga shows Akane his family's new puppies by tricking Ranma into leading him home. Ranma attempts to disrupt their alone time by posing as Ryoga's sister "Yoiko". Ryoga's big brother instinct quickly becomes stifling as Ranma tries increasingly desperate means to escape until he is finally revealed. Back at the dojo, Happosai attempts to remember his ultimate technique, the Happo-Fire Burst. The scroll depicting the technique is buried under a boulder at a women's hot spring. Happosai recovers the scroll but finds that he can no longer read his own handwriting. However, after taking a beating from Ranma, he remembers that the technique merely consists of throwing fireworks at his enemies. Later, Shampoo purchases a kairaishi mushroom from a merchant. This hypnotic fungus causes its victim to perform a specified action when exposed to a trigger. A seasonal cold ruins Shampoo's scheme by making Ranma hug anyone who sneezes instead of her intended trigger. Akane misunderstands Ranma's actions as she continually sneezes from her cold. Thankfully, the effects wear off during the night. On New Year's Eve, Happosai makes a bowl of Super Soba noodles, which grant invincibility. Akane eats them first by accident and uses her new-found strength to challenge Shampoo to martial arts badminton. Akane refuses the antidote until she discovers the side effect—growing whiskers. | |||

| The principal of Furinkan returns after a lengthy stay in Hawaii, studying American public education. He institutes a strict haircut policy for the students to great protest. The students venture into the principal's jungle-themed office to retrieve the "pardon slip" which will nullify the rule. They discover that Kuno is the principal's son after he requests they find the boy in exchange for the slip. After a sufficient beating, Principal Kuno relents and rescinds the rule. The principal's next scheme is to punish all who arrive late for school with toilet cleaning duty. He tries to force Ranma into tardiness but finds himself outside school grounds when the bell rings. At the public bathhouse, Ryoga inadvertently uses Shampoo's waterproof soap and finds himself unaffected by cold water. Shampoo and Ranma try to steal it back by setting him on a fake date with Akane. Their constant impulsiveness prevents any of their schemes from working. Just as Ranma retrieves the soap, he finds that it wears off over time and loses interest. | |||

| Happosai burns Ranma with the "Ultimate Weakness Moxibustion", reducing his strength to that of a baby. Ranma goes on a training trip to gain the power to defeat Happosai, who has the chart which might cure the moxibustion. Cologne offers to teach him the Heaven-Blast of the Dragon, a technique which uses the opponent's power against him. The key to the technique is maintaining a "body and soul of ice" while drawing one's enraged opponents into a spiral, then finally striking the center. The vortex of hot and cold auras rise up and create a tornado, which is the source of the technique's power. Ranma learns the move in three days with Ryoga's help, intuiting the last step because Cologne neglected to teach it to him. Ranma returns to Nerima to confront Happosai who stubbornly refuses to manifest the battle aura necessary for the attack. Ranma resorts to taking photos of his female self in lingerie in order to provoke Happosai into giving off heat. Kuno, Mousse, and Principal Kuno join in on the fight, creating an even more massive tornado when Ranma unleashes his chi. Akane is caught in the blast as well, trying to recover the moxibustion chart that Happosai dropped. Ranma ventures into the twister to save her. | |||

| Ranma uses Happosai as a parachute to break his fall and save Akane. Cologne recovers the ripped shreds of the moxibustion chart and restores Ranma to his former strength. Some time later, Shampoo gifts Ranma a large bell which appears to be haunted by a humongous ghost cat. The cat is looking for his bride, who wears a small matching bell, currently in Shampoo's possession. The cat attempts to make Shampoo and then female Ranma as his bride but Ranma defeats him with his cat-fist. Back at school, Principal Kuno attempts to teach Akane how to swim but none of his insane methods work. During a training trip, Ranma finds Genma relaxing in a mansion as the pet of a rich reclusive boy, Yotaro. Ranma forces Genma to leave, making Yotaro leave the house for the first time in chase, to his mother's joy. Ryoga encounters a martial arts calligrapher who blesses him with the mark of the battling god in exchange for food. The mark is shaped like an overly cute smiling face but bestows superhuman strength. Ryoga gets rid of the embarrassing mark by contorting his body, rendering it ineffective, and allowing Ranma to defeat him. Finally, Happosai fools two wide-eyed children into thinking he is Santa Claus but their innocence causes him to try to be a good role model. | |||

| Kuno draws the legendary Wishbringer sword, said to grant three wishes. He squanders the first two so Ranma goes on a date with Kuno to use the third wish as a cure for his curse. Kuno ends up using the last wish on a statue to commemorate their date. Later, the Gambling King returns to collect on debts Ranma and Ukyo incurred ten years ago. He claims the Tendo dojo for himself, creating a children's gambling parlor. Nabiki manages to win back most of the house but the king cheats and gets it all back. Ranma trains his poker face but only succeeds after covering his face with bandages. He finally beats the Gambling King by cheating as well. A group of four diminutive men seek Ranma because his hair is tied back with the legendary dragon's whisker, a potent cure for baldness. Ranma needs it to stop his hair from growing uncontrollably, a consequence of him drinking dragon's whisker soup in the past. Genma and Happosai join in on the chase. After a fierce battle, the soup's effects run out, as does the expiration date on the dragon's whisker, restoring the status quo. | |||

| Ranma and Shampoo, Mousse and Akane, and Ryoga and Ukyo enter a hot springs three-legged obstacle race, with the prize being a trip to any spring in the world. The cursed cast see it as an opportunity to get to Jusenkyo to cure themselves. The bickering teams swap partners many times while the contest organizers are determined to make them fail so they would not have to pay up. These obstacles include a log run, a waterfall, exploding geysers, sand traps, and a bathhouse-themed maze. Ranma chooses to pair with Akane over Shampoo but Ukyo and Ryoga cross the finish line before them. Unfortunately, Ryoga cannot find Jusenkyo and wastes his prize. At school, Ranma loses a speed-eating battle against Picolet Chardin II, a French martial artist and gourmand, and is forced to pick up the bill. Soun reveals that he promised his unborn daughter to the Chardin family after losing a similar battle twenty years ago. Ranma goes in their place as a female in order to learn the Chardin secrets to speed-eating. He is forced to wear an iron corset by her bridal trainer, Madame St. Paul, and cannot be seen eating according to their rules. To gain an edge, Ranma investigates the "parlay du foie gras", a controversial technique pioneered by a speed-eater without an absurdly large mouth or prehensile tongue. | |||

| Ranma realizes that the parlay du foie gras involves forcing one's own food into the opponents' mouths. This comes at the expense of one's own nourishment, hence the grim fate of all previous parlay practitioners. So starved is Ranma that the iron corset falls off by itself. Confident in his mastery of the parlay, Ranma challenges Picolet to an eating contest with his freedom on the line. Picolet uses a few counters to the parlay in their match but Ranma overcomes them, using his own ravenous hunger to finish off the last few plates of food. After Ranma and Nabiki simultaneously patronize Akane, Akane gives her engagement with Ranma to Nabiki. Nabiki attempts to sell Ranma to the highest bidder but the auction turns violent when Ukyo, Kodachi, and Shampoo turn on Nabiki. Ranma is forced to protect her and she pretends to love him. She then begins renting Ranma out by the hour while trying to sell him back to Akane. Akane and Ranma both want to make up but their pride and Nabiki's machinations prevent it. Ranma eventually sees through Nabiki's acting and tries to get back at her, but ends up reconciling with Akane instead. Finally, at another festival, Ranma and Genma release a panda painting spirit. Ranma and the panda spirit go on a strange date as its last wish before it returns to its painting. | |||

| A powerful warrior named Pantyhose Taro is defeating the cursed cast one by one. He is cursed to transform into a chimera-like creature with the body of a yeti, bull horns, crane wings, and an eel tail. He kidnaps Akane to force Happosai, the man who named him, to change his embarrassing name. Ranma, Ryoga, Shampoo, and Mousse mount a rescue party to counter Taro's overwhelming power. They defeat him but Happosai refuses to cooperate. They drug Happosai and put on a play which might delude him into changing Taro's name. The plan backfires and Happosai is convinced that Taro has stolen all the pantyhose in the world. Ranma stops the fight between monsters and Happosai finally agrees to change Taro's name. Taro leaves Japan with Happosai in tow but Happosai changes his mind at the last minute, restoring Pantyhose's original name. | |||

| Kuno appears at the beach with amnesia but having learned a devastating watermelon-slicing attack. Ranma and Akane find out that he had been training at Watermelon Island for so long that attacking watermelons is now a reflex. Ranma defeats him by placing a watermelon on his head, causing him to hit himself. Back at Ukyo's restaurant, she finds her 10-year-old fermented okonomiyaki sauce tastes terrible and moves in with Ranma to recover her confidence. Ranma treats her nicely because he was responsible for ruining the sauce ten years ago. Ukyo begins acting as Ranma's wife, forcing him to look for ways to make her move back, including admitting his mistake, pretending marriage with Akane, and acting abusive toward Ukyo. Finally, he drinks the ruined sauce which motivates Ukyo to become a better cook and a better woman and she moves back to her restaurant. Happosai returns to the dojo after terrorizing a resort town. Gosunkugi buys a set of paper dolls which force people to obey commands written on them. He tries to make Akane like him using the dolls but fails repeatedly. Happosai uses some pills to bring him closer to his student, Ranma. The pills are literal, magnetically sticking them to each other. Ranma defeats Happosai by tricking him into the boy's locker room, eliminating the pill's effects. | |||

| Ryoga learns a new technique, the Lion's Roar Blast, and practices it on Ranma. The technique is powered by the user's depression, a feeling Ryoga has in abundance. Ranma and Ryoga agree to a battle in a week's time, Ryoga hoping to perfect the move by then and Ranma seeking a counter to it. Ranma tries to imitate Ryoga's stance but lacks the necessary depression to power the attack. He finds an alternative power source in his confident chi, creating the Pride of the Fierce Tiger. Ryoga, on the other hand, fires his depression straight up in the air, forming a pillar of negative energy and perfecting the Lion's Roar. During their battle, Ranma's confidence quickly evaporates and his new attack proves ineffective. To counter the perfect Lion's Roar Blast, Ranma distracts Ryoga during the impact, rendering him susceptible to his own attack. Ranma claims to have kissed Akane to defeat Ryoga with his own blast. The ghost cat returns on New Year's Eve and kidnaps Shampoo as his bride. As the bell tolls, Shampoo progressively turns into a cat until she kisses Ranma to break the spell. Ranma is enlisted to go on a date with the spirit of a dying man to fulfill his last wish. Finally, Kuno asks Ranma to help him with his sibling rivalry with Kodachi. Ranma puppets an unconscious Kuno to apologize to Kodachi, defusing the situation. | |||

| Genma laments that his son is stronger than him. He leaves to develop a new technique which might overcome Ranma: the Hell's Cradle, a full-body hold that sickens the opponent. They fight all night to a stalemate. Akane makes some sakuramochi with love-divining powers. Happosai and Kuno are rejected but the mochi predict that Ryoga is destined for Akane. Ranma figures out the sakura-shaped love marks actually came from P-chan's hooves but cannot bring himself to tell Akane after she mistakes the hoofprints on his head for affirmation of their engagement. At school, Furinkan loses a volleyball match because the opposing team's cheerleading squad, led by Mariko Konjo, knocks out the Furinkan team. To avenge Akane's loss, Ranma challenges Mariko to a martial arts cheerleading fight, held during one of Kuno's kendo matches. Mariko initially has the advantage, fueled by her love for Kuno, but Ranma counters with pictures of himself as a girl. Mariko feigns leaving Kuno, which touches his heart and brings him back to her. Ranma switches sides, cheering for the last remaining mystery fencer on the opposing team. The fencer reveals herself to be Akane in disguise just as Ranma proclaims "I love you". | |||

| Mariko knocks Ranma out while he is distracted by the revelation and Akane takes his place as a cheerleader. Mariko launches her final attack but Ranma deflects it at the last moment, winning the cheering match. At the dojo, Ranma's mother Nodoka makes a sudden appearance. Genma is terrified because he promised to make Ranma a "man among men", under pain of death if he failed. Ranma pretends to be Akane's cousin "Ranko" while Nodoka stays with the Tendos. Before she leaves, Akane arranges a meeting between Nodoka and Ranma, though Genma tries his best to foil it. Ultimately, Ranma saves Nodoka from a burst hot water main, their only brief meeting as mother and son. Shampoo receives the Reversal Jewel from Cologne, which turns her love for Ranma into hate. Ranma, confused by the sudden change, tries to win Shampoo back. Cologne hopes to trick him into saying "I love you" to Shampoo. Mousse uses the Reversal Jewel on Akane to amplify her love for Ranma, ruining the plan. Finally, the spirit of an old dorm mother begins sapping Happosai's energy, threatening to kill him unless he steals her saggy panties. Ranma forces Happosai to steal the unappealing undergarments, for fear that his ghost would continue his panty theft forever in the afterlife. | |||

| Pantyhose Taro tries to make Happosai change his name using water from the Spring of Drowned Good Samaritan. However, the water is actually from the Spring of Drowned Twins, forcing Ranma and company to try to stop Taro. Ranma counters his new ink-spewing tentacles by luring them into a smokestack, playing off their instinctual draw toward closed spaces. Defeated, Taro finally realizes the truth and gives up on his plan. Later, Ranma is courted by Yohyo Tsuruyasennen, owner of a lavish island resort. However, Yohyo's family is nearly bankrupt due to a large rock plugging the island's hot spring. Ranma leaves after destroying the rock and saving the resort. Back at the dojo, Kasumi has gotten ill and Nodoka offers to cook in her place, with Akane and Ranko's help. Akane ruins the food by bursting a hot water pipe but successfully boils water for instant noodles. Ryoga purchases a "fishing rod of love" at a flea market and hopes to catch Akane's heart with it, but strikes Ranma instead. Ranma develops a one-sided obsessive love for Ryoga who uses the fishing rod again to remove the spell. Finally, Gosunkugi obtains a powered exoskeleton, One-Punch, which he uses to fight Ranma. He is unable to land a single punch on Ranma in the allotted time, causing it to self-destruct. | |||

| The last remaining members of the Musk Dynasty visit Cologne in Japan. These warriors mate with wild animals turned into human women by the cursed springs of Jusenkyo, improving their children's fighting ability. Ranma fights their dragon-born leader Herb, but is handily defeated and sealed in his female form by the Pot of Preservation. Ranma needs the Kettle of Liberation to counteract this effect and clashes with Herb who is also searching for it. Ryoga and Mousse join Ranma, hoping to use the Pot of Preservation as a cure for their curses, and pursue Herb to Mt. Horai. Ryoga and Mousse face off against the tiger-born Lime and wolf-born Mint, using their experience sparring against Ranma to defeat their more powerful opponents. Unfortunately, the pot seals them in their cursed forms, leaving Ranma to face Herb by himself. Ranma chases the Musk trio to the Kettle of Liberation where he discovers that Herb is a cursed female like himself and needed the kettle to unseal himself. Ranma uses Herb's anger to power the Heaven-Blast of the Dragon but Herb anticipates it and cools his energy, rendering it ineffective. Meanwhile, Ryoga and Mousse return to their human forms by defeating Lime and Mint again and recovering the kettle. | |||

| Ryoga jumps into a fissure to recover the Kettle of Liberation for Ranma while Ranma feigns another Heaven-Blast of the Dragon. Ryoga breaks open an underground water spout filled with the kettle's unsealing magic as Herb executes his own Heaven-Blast, playing right into Ranma's hands. Using the upward momentum of the tornado, Ranma concentrates this energy into the Dragon's Descending Crashing Wave, a massive ball of energy which crushes Herb. Ranma's curse is unsealed and he rescues Herb's unconscious body as the mountain collapses. At school, a new teacher named Hinako Ninomiya arrives to bring discipline to the student body. At first, she appears as a child but grows to adult proportions after using the Happo Five-Yen Satsu, a chi-draining technique. She can release the drained chi in an energy blast, the Happo No-Yen Coin Return. She learned these devastating attacks from Happosai when she was a sickly child and Ranma futilely attempts to apply the pressure points needed to counter them. Later, Akane travels to Ryugenzawa to take care of a monster sighting. She encounters Shinnosuke, a guardian of the forest with his grandfather, whom she met before as a child but he does not remember her. | |||

| Ranma follows Akane to Ryugenzawa, but she refuses to go home. Akane discovers the reason for Shinnosuke's forgetfulness—he suffered a grave injury while defending Akane from monsters on her previous visit. He survived by drinking the Water of Life, the same liquid that caused all the animals to grow into huge monsters, but the water is running out. Ranma, Ryoga, Akane, Shinnosuke, and his grandfather are attacked by the Yamata no Orochi, a multi-headed serpent that loves women and beer. Moss growing on the serpent's body is the source of the Water of Life and would cure Shinnosuke if recovered. The men disguise themselves as women to lure the serpent while Akane, dressed as a boy, looks for the moss. Ranma throws beer at the serpent's eyes and they defeat seven of the heads. The eighth and largest head appears and attacks Akane, who manages to scrape off some of its moss before getting captured and dragged underwater. Ranma and Shinnosuke rescue her and Ranma acts as bait while they use the moss to cure Shinnosuke. Akane uses a horn whistle Shinnosuke gave her long ago to put the serpent to sleep and rescue Ranma, who had been eaten. The serpent returns to its cave to sleep and Akane returns home with Ranma. | |||

It threatens to drag Ranma underwater unless "Natsuhiko" compliments it. Kuno happens to look like a young Natsuhiko so Ranma coerces Kuno into fulfilling the swimsuit's request.

After Kinnosuke gets injured, Nabiki misses an opportunity to win when she calls 911 instead of his personal physician at a pay phone using his money.

| Akane encounters the Jusenkyo guide and they observe Saffron using the Kinjakan to boil the Jusendo waters, triggering his transformation into an adult. Akane touches the Kinjakan in an effort to save Ranma from Saffron's trap but the heat from the weapon evaporates all the water in her body, reducing her to doll size. Ranma must use Kinjakan's moon-based pair, Gekkaja, to turn on the cold Jusendo waters which would restore Akane to normal. The initial strike destroys the hot water source and cracks open Saffron's egg prematurely but Ranma gets knocked out and captured by Shampoo. Their fight ends when Shampoo's brainwashing is broken and Saffron emerges from his egg. Ranma uses the Gekkaja's freezing powers to draw Saffron into a powerful Heaven-Blast of the Dragon, a ploy to get close enough to freeze him solid. Saffron counters with the Kinjakan and a massive fireball, which Ranma survives by freezing himself. Akane uses her doll body to punch through Saffron's next fireball, allowing Ranma to shoot a Heaven-Blast directly at his heart. As Akane's life force drains away, Ranma destroys the cold water nozzle and restores her body. Believing her to be dead, he confesses his love to her as she wakes up. They return to Japan where Soun and Nodoka have made wedding preparations. The Jusenkyo guides sends a single dose of Spring of Drowned Man as a wedding gift, attracting the cursed cast, while Nabiki's invitations draw in the rest of Nerima's lunatics. Happosai drinks the spring water and Soun postpones the wedding until all other engagements can be sorted out. The manga closes with Ranma and Akane running to school together. | |||
