☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeVolume 11 of Viz's Ranma 1/2 continues the chaotic martial arts romantic comedy, collecting issues from the original manga run. This volume delves deeper into the ongoing rivalries and misunderstandings involving Ranma Saotome, Akane Tendo, and the various suitors and curses that plague their lives. Expect more absurd training, magical mayhem, and the return of familiar faces like Shampoo, Ryoga, and the perpetually scheming Happosai.
In "Part 1: The Soap of Happiness," Ranma, Genma, and Ukyo journey to the Moxa Valley, drawn by the legendary Moxa rocks said to hold the key to curing Ranma’s curse. There, they encounter the enigmatic Cologne, who proposes a daring new technique—meant to help Ranma confront Happosai when he’s at his weakest. Written by Rumiko Takahashi, Gerard Jones, and Toshifumi Yoshida, with art by Takahashi and inks by Wayne Truman, this 1998 Viz issue features a cover by Takahashi and Hidemi Sahara.
When Shampoo arrives with a special waterproof soap meant to keep her from turning into a cat during baths, chaos ensues—especially after she accidentally drops it at a public bath, where it ends up in Ryoga’s hands. The soap’s strange power sets off a chain of mishaps, turning an ordinary soak into a hilarious battle of wits and wet chaos.
In "Part 3: Don’t Follow Me," Akane finds herself caught in a web of mistaken intentions when she misreads Ranma and Shampoo’s antics as a scheme to set her up with Ryoga—leading her to reluctantly agree to a date with him. The story unfolds with classic Ranma 1/2 humor, blending martial arts chaos and tangled romance, as misunderstandings spiral in true comedic fashion.
In "Part 5: Give Me a Little Hug," Ryoga, still reeling from Akane’s unexpected embrace under mind control, interprets it as a heartfelt gesture and resolves to reciprocate—with a hug of his own. The thought of returning such a show of affection sends a wave of nervous uncertainty through Akane, knowing full well just how strong Ryoga can be.
In "Part 6: The Legendary Moxibustion of Evil," Ranma faces his most humiliating setback yet when Happosai marks him with the cursed Moxibustion, stripping him of his martial prowess—just as he’s about to be confronted by every enemy he’s ever made. With his strength gone and his reputation on the line, Ranma must find a way to survive the chaos that follows, all while dealing with the absurdity of his new, very real weakness.
In "Part 8: Weak for Life?!", Ranma races against time to recover the cure scroll from the ever-creepy Happosai, only to have his desperate attempt end in failure—leaving him and Genma vanished into the darkness. The fate of the scroll and what comes next remains a mystery, but one thing’s certain: this isn’t the last we’ll see of their tangled escape.
In "Part 9: The Valley of Moxibustion," Ranma, Genma, and Ukyo journey to the Moxa Valley, drawn by rumors of healing rocks that might cure Ranma’s cursed form. There, they encounter the enigmatic Cologne, who proposes a surprising training path—one that could give Ranma an edge in his ongoing rivalry with Happosai, even as the old pervert grows weaker.
In "Part 11: The Inflammable Man," Ryoga struggles with doubt during training, weighed down by his fear of dishonoring himself by besting a weaker opponent. A miscommunication sparks a shift in his resolve, pushing him to confront his inner hesitation on the mat.
