Ranma 1/2 #3

Aug 1994 · Viz · 15.95 USD; 21.50 CAD
“Part One: Lips at War”

In "Part One: Lips at War," the rivalry between Ranma and Mikado heats up in a high-stakes ice skating match, where Mikado makes a bold challenge—not just to win, but to steal a kiss from Akane, all to unsettle Ranma. Written by Rumiko Takahashi, Gerard Jones, and Matt Thorn, with art by Takahashi and inks by Wayne Truman, this 1994 Viz issue captures the series' signature blend of physical comedy and romantic tension. The cover, penciled and inked by Takahashi and Viz Graphics, perfectly captures the playful yet competitive spirit of the moment.
