About this Collection

Volume 8 of Ranma 1/2 continues the chaotic adventures of Ranma Saotome and his rivals, as the martial arts hijinks escalate with the introduction of a circus director and more trouble from Happosai. This collection features classic confrontations involving Shampoo, Mousse, and Ryoga, while Ranma's engagement to Akane Tendo remains a source of constant comedy and conflict. The volume collects issues from the original Viz English-language release of the series, showcasing Rumiko Takahashi's signature blend of slapstick and romantic comedy.

In "Part 1: 'Okonomiyaki' Means 'I Love You'," Akane accidentally ingests one of the infamous love pills, sending Ranma into a frantic scramble to keep every male within sight from catching her eye—before her feelings spiral out of control. Written by Rumiko Takahashi, Gerard Jones, and Toshifumi Yoshida, with art by Takahashi and inks by Takahashi and Wayne Truman, this 1997 Viz issue delivers classic comedic chaos with a side of heartfelt panic. The cover, penciled and inked by Rumiko Takahashi and Viz Graphics, captures the moment perfectly.
