らんま1/2 [Ranma 1/2] #16

Three characters take center stage on this bright pink cover: Ranma in his distinctive yellow Chinese jacket strikes a confident martial arts pose, while a brown-haired girl in a plaid skirt holds flowers, and another figure in leopard-print crouches nearby holding what appears to be a weapon and some papers. Volume 16 of Rumiko Takahashi's beloved shape-shifting martial arts series promises the same lively cast dynamics that have kept readers hooked — the cover's playful energy captures the mix of romance and rivalry that defines the series perfectly.
