☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the conclusion of the Ryugenzawa arc and the beginning of the Saffron story, as Ranma and the gang face off against a new cursed spring and a fiery antagonist. The 23rd installment in Viz's English release of Rumiko Takahashi's martial arts romantic comedy.
In "A Man Again!", Ranma faces a bizarre twist when Happosai reveals a strange method to contain Miss Ninamiya’s powers—requiring him to physically touch her in a most unorthodox way. Meanwhile, Shampoo, Ukyo, and Kodachi’s aggressive attempt to confront Miss Ninamiya backfires in chaotic fashion. Written by Rumiko Takahashi, Matt Thorn, and Gerard Jones, with art by Takahashi and Wayne Truman, and a cover by Takahashi and Hidemi Sahara, this 2003 Viz issue delivers classic comedic chaos with a side of surreal tension.
In "The Ultimate Teacher," Furinkan High welcomes Miss Ninamiya, a seemingly innocent twelve-year-old girl who quickly becomes a source of confusion—and tension—among students and staff alike. With a mysterious past tied to Happosai and a secret that could unravel everything, her arrival stirs more than just curiosity.
In "The Eight Mysterious Treasures," Ranma finds himself caught in a whirlwind of mistaken intentions when he seeks to learn Miss Ninamiya’s rumored five yen attack—only to have Akane, Ukyo, Shampoo, and Kodachi all convinced he’s after something far more personal. The story unfolds with sharp wit and playful chaos, as rivalry, romance, and martial arts collide in classic Ranma 1/2 fashion.
In "The World's Most Powerful Woman," Shampoo, Ukyo, and Kodachi team up to confront the enigmatic Miss Ninamiya—only to find their plans unravel in spectacular fashion. Meanwhile, Happosai offers Ranma a bizarre solution to contain her power, one that involves a very awkward and unexpected physical maneuver.
In "Go For The Pressure Points," Ranma's attempt to analyze Miss Ninamiya's martial arts technique takes a chaotic turn when every move to target her pressure points triggers an unexpectedly fierce reaction from Akane. Meanwhile, Shampoo, Kodachi, and Ukyo conspire to set a trap for the teacher, turning the classroom into a battleground of rivalry and misdirected affection.
In "Recovered Memories," Akane crosses paths with Shinnosuke, only to find he no longer remembers her—leaving her both confused and unsettled. Meanwhile, Ranma ventures to the bizarre, animal-infested Ryugenzawa in search of her, unaware of what strange trials await in the wilds of the valley.
