Ranma 1/2 #2
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis second volume of Viz's original English release of Ranma 1/2 continues the chaotic adventures of Ranma Saotome, the martial artist cursed to turn into a girl when splashed with cold water. The collection features escalating rivalries with the lovesick Tatewaki Kuno and the introduction of the eternally lost Ryoga Hibiki, whose own curse turns him into a tiny black pig. Alongside the usual mayhem at the Tendo dojo, the volume also includes early encounters with the eccentric members of the Kuno household and the first appearance of the Jusenkyo Guide, who provides crucial backstory on the training grounds that caused Ranma's predicament.
In "Part One: The Transformation of Ryoga," Ranma must step in for an injured Akane, fighting in her female form after a sleepless night of training. With Kodachi's underhanded tactics and Ryoga's personal vendetta looming, the match becomes a test of endurance and resolve—where every move could mean the difference between victory and defeat. Written by Rumiko Takahashi, Gerard Jones, and Matt Thorn, with art by Takahashi and inks by Wayne Truman, the issue features a striking cover by Takahashi and Viz Graphics.
