He is Ranma of the Saotome School of Anything Goes Martial Arts.
She is Akane of the Tendo Dojo.
The two of them are now engaged due to their parents' decision.
Don't decide who I'll marry.
It's irritating.
And Ranma has a problem.
What the hell are you doing?
He transforms into a girl when he's splashed with water.

LOVE LETTERS IN THE SAUCE
-Morning. -Did you hear?
That rumor about Ranma.
What? He has another fiancée?
Geez, everyone's talking about it.
How nice for you.
Give me one of them!
You think it's easy?
My body can't hold up.
I've already got my hands full with my not-so-cute fiancée.
Then why don't you go marry the cute one?
Ryoga. Long time no see.
Here, it's your Okinawa souvenir.
Okinawa? Not Shiga Prefecture?
Akane, I heard the rumor.
Rumor? About the other fiancée?
I'm okay. I don't really care who Ranma dates.
-So she said. -That won't do!
No matter who the other woman is,
cheating on you is a great insult to you, Akane!
So what? It's not something I decided!
-I was going to stay quiet… -That sounds like…
…but you keep complaining about someone else's marriage!
I'm gonna grill you!
I've never seen you before,
but I can't let anyone who sides with Ranma live!
Stop it, Ryoga! She's a girl!
A girl?
Yeah right, you're definitely a man!
Who are you calling a man? Flour bomb!
You're done for.
The finishing blow!
Stop! Ryoga!
Take a good look. Ucchan's a girl.
You're wide open!
Come on, didn't I help you?
-Showing your fiancée's chest to some guy? -You're not my fiancée.
-There were other solutions! -That baldy decided it.
-I thought Ukyo was a man, you know. -Ryoga…
NURSE'S OFFICE
Thank goodness. Are you awake?
Ryoga, I'm so sorry. You got hurt for my sake.
No… I did it because I wanted to.
But thank you.
Akane!
What the hell are you thinking?
Good grief.
Anyway, Ryoga.
You don't need to worry about us. We'll be fine.
Oh, okay.
What do you mean…
by "us"?
Hey, you!
What about my feelings?
What are you getting all depressed for?
You like Akane, don't you?
You bastard!
I'm on your side, okay?
Let me reintroduce myself.
I'm Ukyo the okonomiyaki chef.
Ranma's super cute fiancée.
OKONOMIYAKI - UCCHAN
Me and Akane on a date?
I'll set it all up for you.
She'll definitely say no.
Wuss.
You bastard!
This iron plate's really hot.
Trust me.
I'll make sure she goes on that date.
You have a way to make her agree to it?
I'll definitely make their date a success.
If the two of them fall in love,
then I'll be Ranma's only fiancée.
AKANE, MEET ME AT 2:00 P.M. TOMORROW. RYOGA
All done. It's a perfect love letter!
What? Love?
Now I'll go deliver this to her.
Right now?
Gotta strike while the iron's hot.
Tomorrow's your big day.
You should go home and get ready for your date.
Akane!
That voice is…
Ukyo.
Sorry for interrupting your dinner.
Are you a friend of Akane's?
Dad.
Let me introduce her.
She's Ranma's cute fiancée, Ukyo Kuonji.
Ranma's…
Good evening, sir.
You were the one who decided on your own to make Ukyo my fiancée.
Take responsibility.
If Akane's dad finds out…
Unforgivable.
So, why did you come see me?
Akane, you don't get along with Ranma, right?
What?
Which means you can quit being his fiancée.
You know…
Or do you have a crush on Ranma?
Don't tell me you're both deeply in love--
Of course--
Not! Never with that not-so-cute woman.
-You two really don't get along. -That's right.
You know what will happen if you dump Akane,
right?
Anyways, why don't we settle things once and for all? I'll be waiting!
AKANE, MEET ME AT 2:00 P.M. TOMORROW. RYOGA
It's a letter?
"To Akane Tendo.
I'll be waiting for you at 2:00 p.m. tomorrow at Okonomiyaki Ucchan."
A challenge?
What? You're setting Akane and Ryoga up on a date?
Yep. I just gave her the love letter.
There's no way Akane would go.
You sound quite sure of yourself.
Akane has
the most not-so-cute personality in all of Japan.
I got asked out on a date!
I need to dress super pretty!
In the one in a million chance she does go,
I'll run 100 laps around town dressed as girl!
I can't believe such a not-so-cute woman exists in this world.
This is bad. I didn't expect that.
But still, that Ryoga.
He can't even ask her out himself. So pathetic.
Which means you can quit being his fiancée.
What do you mean? You're the one who came out of nowhere!
I'll gladly accept your challenge.
What's up, Ranma?
It's almost time. Don't you need to get ready?
Mind your own business.
Anyway, Ranma.
You better stay completely out of our way, okay?
Hah. Who's… What?
"Our"?
Hey, don't tell me you're actually going?
There's no way I'd refuse, right?
Hey, you…
I'm looking forward to it!
Hey, since when did you turn into such a woma--
Let me tell you one thing.
I couldn't care less about being your fiancée, got it?
But I'm not so shameless that I'd go just because of that.
That's fine with me.
Serves you right, Ranma!
Stay out of our way, okay?
Don't you dare think it's going to be that easy!
I'm here!
Akane!
I'm so happy! You came!
Of course.
Doesn't this mean you're interested in dating him?
Wait, what are you say--
I made it.
Ryoga?
-Sorry, I got a little… -Where's the okonomiyaki place?
-…lost on my way here. -Where is it?
So, it's not a duel?
What duel?
I bought them while I was out.
Thank you.
I wonder what happened to him on his way here?
CONGRATULATIONS
To wish you both a successful first date,
this will be on the house.
First date?
Oh, I see.
She's trying to make me quit being his fiancée by finding me another guy.
I can't believe she got the kindhearted Ryoga involved.
Delicious, right?
I'm gonna interrupt her date! I'll get in her way!
PRIVATE BOOKING TODAY - UCCHAN
All right! I'll be off now.
What? Hey!
Wait a second. Where are you going?
The third wheel is leaving.
Don't tell me you're leaving me alone with her?
Hey, this is a date, you know!
Then what should I do?
I see. I guess Ryoga was forced into being with me today.
If you like her, then seduce her!
Are you crazy? I haven't even confirmed how she feels. How can I--
If you're a man, just go for it!
Don't leave! Stay with me!
-Stay. I beg you. -Gosh, you're so annoying!
Okay, okay.
Since Ryoga hates it so much, this date should--
-He doesn't! -I don't hate it!
Akane, my feelings for you have always…
Yeah? Well…
Ryoga, you cheater!
What?
How dare you neglect me
and go on a date with another woman!
I've outdone myself with this perfect disguise.
It's a misunderstanding, Akane.
I have no idea who this woman is!
Who the hell are you?
I am
Ryoga's fiancée!
Fiancée?
I didn't know that I had a fiancée.
It's not surprising you didn't know,
since it was our parents who decided our marriage--
What are you doing? You brute!
What are you thinking?
What should I do?
Hey! Why are you hesitating?
Are you going to let some impudent fiancée
come out of nowhere and tell ya what to do?
She's right. There's no reason to hesitate.
I love Akane!
-Akane! -Yes?
I like--
What are you doing?
If you dump me…
I'll do this to you!
Stop it already!
You hussy! Akane and Ryoga were just about to confirm their love!
-Hey… -You're gonna get between them?
The two of us are running far away!
Hey!
That hussy! Where did she go?
Hey, why do I have to hide like a rat?
KEEP THE PARK BEAUTIFUL
Listen! I have someone I like--
I already know that, P-chan.
How did you know about that?
-This idiot. -Who told you?
-He still hasn't realized who I am? -Who? How come you know?
This is gonna be fun.
That's because I'm your fiancée!
I know everything about the man I love.
You knew and yet…
-you still want me. -What?
Hey! Don't be so serious!
I'm so happy.
Do you know who I really am?
Aren't you my fiancée?
TRASH BELONGS IN TRASH CANS
What are you doing? You bastard! Let go! Hey!
That was really close.
-No! -Ryoga!
Poor Ryoga. I'm so sorry for getting you involved.
Do you have some sort of grudge against Ryoga?
Too bad your date was ruined.
Ranma! Were you jealous?
Don't be so full of yourself, you floozy!
"Floozy"?
You were flirting like crazy on this date just because of a love letter.
The one flirting like crazy is
-you, you idiot! -Ouch!
I didn't even know it was a date.
Fine. If you're going to think of me like that…
THE NEXT DAY
COFFEE DOHATSUTEN
Sorry for asking you to spend time with me today.
Am I bothering you?
No, not at all.
This must be a dream.
I can't believe she's the one who asked me out.
Something this terrific could…
never be real!
Sir!
It doesn't hurt.
I knew it was a dream.
Ryoga?
That kind of hurt.
It's not a dream!
Should we go somewhere else?
Looks like they're having fun.
Hey, let's ride a boat.
Wouldn't it be bad if you fell into the lake P--
Don't follow us! You bastards!
NO FISHING
Go ahead and ignore us. I'm on a date with Ranma!
After ruining my date like that?
Now you're the one on a date?
Ranma!
A cheater like you
has no right to call himself Akane's fiancé.
Ryoga, you cheater… You cheater…
Neglecting… Neglecting your fiancée…
When you hugged me back then,
were you faking your love for me?
Even if you are a pig, I'm fine with it.
I might never meet another woman
who would say that to me for the rest of my life.
This woman! How many times is she going to get in the way?
You're the only one for me!
Do you really mean it?
You should run now, Ranma.
Oh my, who's this Ranma person?
That's you!
Ranma!
-Don't be mad, Ryoga. -Ranma?
I'll kill you!
Like I'd fall in the lake!
No matter who it was,
my heart had briefly betrayed Akane.
Really! I can't believe you!
What's so fun about teasing Ryoga?
Ryoga, sorry. Stupid Ranma--
Akane, goodbye.
We will never meet again.
Ryoga.
I've lost the right to love Akane!
-Ryoga! -It was all Ranma's fault.
I didn't think I'd hurt him that much.
P-chan? Why are you here?
P-chan! Hey, P-chan!
Come here.
Did Ryoga leave?
Saying goodbye was a lie, right, Ryoga?
Isn't this pig surprisingly featherbrained?
Ranma! Make sure you apologize properly when Ryoga comes back.
I think he's feeling better already.
Wow! This is really fun!
Have you had enough yet?
What are you saying? Not yet!
One more time!
RANMA1/2
