☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeVolume 12 of Viz's Ranma 1/2 continues the chaotic martial arts romantic comedy as Ranma Saotome and his rivals navigate curses, love triangles, and absurd challenges. This collection features more misadventures with Akane, Shampoo, Ryoga, and the rest of the Nerima crew, including appearances by Mousse and Principal Kuno, as the series deepens its blend of slapstick and relationship humor.
In "Part 1: The Roar of Heaven," Shampoo returns from China with a set of cat bells she believes are marriage charms—only to discover they’re tied to a centuries-old promise binding her to a fearsome ancient Cat ogre. Written by Rumiko Takahashi, Gerard Jones, and Toshifumi Yoshida, with art by Takahashi and inks by Takahashi and Wayne Truman, this 1999 Viz issue brings a wild twist to the series’ usual chaos. The cover, penciled and inked by Takahashi with additional inks by Hidemi Sahara, captures the moment’s eerie tension.
In "Part 1: The Roar of Heaven," Ryoga’s fury boils over when he believes Ranma has betrayed Akane, unleashing a desperate, furious assault that pushes Ranma to unlock the hidden power of the Dragon Spiral. The clash of wills and martial arts reaches a breaking point, testing the limits of both fighters in a moment that could change everything.
In "Part 4: Burn, Happy, Burn," Ranma faces a desperate moment as enemies close in, forcing him to summon the Dragon’s Heaven Blast—only for the crucial moxibustion scroll to be caught in the crossfire, threatening to be lost. The tension mounts as the fate of the scroll hangs in the balance, testing Ranma’s resolve in a fight where even the smallest detail could change everything.
In "Part 5: The Paper Chase," Akane is caught in the aftermath of the Dragon’s Heaven Blast, leaving Ranma torn between rescuing her and protecting the precious moxibustion scroll. With chaos unfolding and stakes higher than ever, one wrong move could change everything.
In "Part 7: Who Will Bell the Cat?", Shampoo returns from China with a set of cat bells she believes are marriage charms, only to discover they’re tied to a centuries-old promise with a legendary Cat ogre—leaving her and the others scrambling to untangle the mystery before the bells ring again.
In "Part 9: Swim Like a Hammer," Akane faces a daunting challenge: mastering swimming to advance in school. When Principal Kuno volunteers to teach her, her reluctance quickly gives way to an uneasy acceptance—setting off a series of chaotic and comically awkward moments.
