Ranma 1/2 #5

In "Part One: Kitten of the Sea," Ranma finds himself in a high-stakes race against Shampoo to become the fastest delivery girl—on the promise of a year’s free ramen from a rival shop. Meanwhile, Kuno declares his intent to pick a fiancée from either Akane or Ranma, despite their clear disinterest. Written by Rumiko Takahashi, Gerard Jones, Toshifumi Yoshida, and Matt Thorn, with art by Takahashi and inks by Wayne Truman, this 1995 Viz issue features a dynamic mix of humor and rivalry, all brought to life with Takahashi’s signature style—both in story and on the cover, which she also penciled and inked, alongside Viz Graphics.
