Ten years ago Genma Saotome promised his friend Soun Tendo that his martial artist son Ranma would marry one of Soun's three daughters and carry on the tradition of the family's martial arts school. However there is a shock for the Tendos when Genma and Ranma finally appear. While travelling in China, teenaged Ranma fell into a cursed spring, resulting in him changing into a girl every time he touches cold water, and only turning back into a boy when she touches hot water. Also Genma is a panda.
Ranma 1/2 is probably one of the most beloved manga series ever created. Running from 1987 until 1996, this is a hugely entertaining blend of action, comedy and romance. The story is constantly moving forward, with everyday events given a hilarious martial arts twist. Takahashi's art style is beautifully detailed with a real vibrancy to the action scenes.
