☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume concludes the long-running Ranma 1/2 series, collecting the final chapters of Rumiko Takahashi's martial arts romantic comedy. It wraps up the chaotic love triangle between Ranma, Akane, and the many rivals and fiancées who have plagued their lives, delivering a signature blend of slapstick humor and unresolved romantic tension.
In "Shotgun Beans," Happosai’s latest scheme takes a bizarre turn when his special incense accidentally knocks Akane out—only to plunge her into surreal dreams where she battles Ranma, Shampoo, Ukyo, and Kodachi in a waking nightmare. Written by Rumiko Takahashi, Kaori Inoue, and Gerard Jones, with art by Takahashi and inks by Bill Schuch, this 2005 Viz issue blends classic slapstick with dreamlike chaos, all wrapped in a striking cover by Takahashi and Yuki Ameda.
In "Shotgun Beans," the Tendo Dojo takes on a strange new responsibility: guarding a magical plant that fires beans at anyone showing anger or hatred—traits it oddly equates with demons. With chaos erupting from the plant’s unpredictable aim, even the most minor squabbles risk turning into full-blown bean barrages.
In "Whack The Principal," Miss Ninomiya’s desperate escape from Principal Kuno’s infamous Repentance Room unleashes a surge of repressed spiritual fury, transforming her into a hardened adult delinquent with a fiery grudge. Now fueled by years of accumulated resentment, she sets out on a chaotic mission of vengeance—though how far she’ll go, or what she’ll become, remains uncertain.
When Ranko's bust size suddenly draws attention, Akane finds her own measurements are getting the same curious glances—though no one seems to notice. Nodoka’s unexpected visit turns into an awkward shopping trip, leaving both girls caught in a whirlwind of teasing, fabric, and unspoken tension.
In "The Punishment Of Perv-Boy," Nodoka’s brief but shocking sighting of Ranma in Ranko’s clothes sets off a chain of escalating panic, leading Nabiki to spin a wild tale to cover it up. Now, fueled by outrage and a righteous fury, Nodoka vows to track down and destroy the so-called "pervert boy" who dared to assault her daughter—unaware that the real target might be closer than she thinks.
In "Mama, Papa and Tata," Nodoka quietly returns to the Tendo dojo to protect Akane from the ever-present pervert, while Ranma grapples with the unexpected emotional fallout of teasing Akane about her bust size—caught between confusion and the growing realization that his jokes might have landed harder than intended.
In "Incense Of Spring Sleep," Happosai's latest scheme takes a bizarre turn when Akane accidentally inhales a potent sleeping incense meant for Ranma. As she slips into a deep slumber, her dreams spiral into surreal, chaotic visions involving Ranma, Shampoo, Ukyo, and Kodachi—leaving her attacking the classroom in her sleep.
