Ranma 1/2 #21
In "Part 1: Pantyhose Taro Returns!", Ranma 1/2 takes a delightfully chaotic turn when Ryoga's magical fishing pole misfires, accidentally imprinting a mystical love charm on Ranma instead of Akane. Written by Rumiko Takahashi, Gerard Jones, and Kaori Inoue, with art by Takahashi and inks by Wayne Truman, this 2003 Viz issue delivers classic slapstick with a supernatural twist, all rendered in Takahashi’s signature style—her dynamic layouts and expressive characters bringing the absurdity to life. The cover, penciled and inked by Takahashi with additional inks by Hidemi Sahara, captures the moment with playful flair.
