☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe 25th volume of Viz's 2004 edition of Rumiko Takahashi's classic martial arts romantic comedy. This installment continues the chaotic adventures of Ranma Saotome and his rivals, featuring more of the series' signature gender-bending humor and martial arts mayhem as the characters navigate love, pride, and absurd challenges.
In "Danger: Home Visit Ahead!", Ranko finds herself in a bizarre predicament when a haunted swimsuit captures her while she’s trying to banish a water demon from a seaside town. With only twenty-four hours to spare, she must convince a specific person to compliment the suit—or be pulled under by the sea. Written by Rumiko Takahashi, Kaori Inoue, and Gerard Jones, with art by Takahashi and inks by Wayne Truman, this wild episode blends humor and suspense in classic Ranma 1/2 fashion. The cover, a playful collaboration by Takahashi and Yuki Ameda, captures the story’s quirky charm.
In "Target: Soun!", Miss Ninomiya sets her sights on marrying Soun Tendo within seven days, sparking a whirlwind of rivalry as the Tendo girls unite to keep her away. With playful sabotage and martial arts flair, the sisters turn their home into a battlefield of wit and will, all while Soun remains blissfully unaware of the storm brewing around him.
Mousse stumbles upon a pair of ancient Chinese amazon opera glasses that grant an unexpected power: anyone who meets the wearer’s gaze is forced to weep and grovel. With his usual obsession for Ranma’s love, he sees a chance to finally gain an edge—though the real challenge may be controlling the glasses’ strange, unpredictable effect.
In "Compliment Me!", Ranko finds herself trapped in a bizarre situation when a haunted swimsuit demands a genuine compliment to free her—only to target Kuno, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the suit’s ideal. To survive, she must play along with Kuno’s romantic obsession, turning his usual dramatic advances into a high-stakes game of deception and self-aware satire.
In "Cursed Cave Of Broken Loves," Ukyo leads Ranma and Akane into a legendary cave said to unravel even the strongest bonds, hoping to finally end their rivalry—though whether the cave’s magic or their own stubborn hearts will win out remains to be seen.
In "Exit Of Misery," Ryoga’s persistent wanderings lead him to a mysterious cave, where his long-standing crush on Akane unexpectedly complicates Ukyo’s carefully laid plans—proving that even unrequited love can stir up trouble in the most unlikely places.
