☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the final chapters of Rumiko Takahashi's martial arts romantic comedy, wrapping up the chaotic adventures of Ranma Saotome and his many rivals and fiancées. As the series hurtles toward its conclusion, the ongoing curses, love triangles, and absurd challenges reach their ultimate resolutions. This edition compiles the concluding installments of the original Japanese run, bringing the long-running saga to a close for English readers.
In "The Secret Of The Forest," Ranma grapples with a sudden, painful misunderstanding—Akane’s silence feels like a breakup—while Shinnosuke faces a dire truth: his life depends on the fading waters of a legendary spring tied to the myth of Yamata No Orochi. Written by Rumiko Takahashi, Kaori Inoue, and Gerard Jones, with art by Takahashi and inks by Wayne Truman, this 2003 Viz issue blends mystery and emotional stakes, all anchored in a forest where ancient magic meets mortal peril. The cover by Rumiko Takahashi and Yuki Ameda captures the story’s eerie, otherworldly tone.
