☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume concludes the long-running martial arts romantic comedy series, collecting the final chapters of Rumiko Takahashi's original manga. It wraps up the chaotic love triangle between Ranma, Akane, and the many rivals and fiancées who have plagued their lives, delivering a definitive end to the story of the half-boy, half-girl martial artist. Fans will find the resolution to long-standing plot threads and the signature blend of slapstick humor and heartfelt moments that defined the series.
In "The Phoenix And The Dragon," the stakes rise as Lord Saffron pursues Ranma with cold fury, driven by a past transformation that changed everything. Meanwhile, Shampoo battles her own rage, determined to free Kima from a mind-altering grip, while Ryoga and Mousse race against time to restore the sacred springs by dismantling the hidden pipes beneath the temple. Written by Rumiko Takahashi, Kaori Inoue, and Gerard Jones, with art by Takahashi and inks by Elena Diaz, this 2006 Viz issue delivers a chaotic, emotionally charged chapter in the ongoing saga, all wrapped in a dynamic cover by Takahashi and Yuki Ameda.
In "The Phoenix And The Dragon," Ranma and Akane each stumble upon Lord Saffron’s scheme to redirect the springs—his twisted plan to transform himself by flooding the area with hot water. As they race to uncover the truth, their paths cross in a series of escalating mishaps, blending martial arts chaos with the ever-present absurdity of their rivalry.
In "Ranma Battles Saffron!!," Ranma faces off against the vengeful Lord Saffron, whose fury stems from a humiliating transformation at Ranma’s hands. Meanwhile, Shampoo battles to free Kima from a mind-control grip, while Ryoga and Mousse race to restore the sacred spring waters by dismantling the base’s hidden pipes.
In "The Final Chapter," Ranma’s reluctant commitment to marry Akane hits a chaotic peak when the wedding is thrown into disarray by a flood of rivals, suitors, and uninvited guests—each eager to disrupt the ceremony. With Genma and Soun pressing him to go through with it, Ranma finds himself caught in a whirlwind of martial arts mayhem, romantic tension, and classic Ranma 1/2 absurdity.
