Ranma 1/2 #9
In "Part 1: Akane Becomes a Duck," the chaos of Ranma's cursed form takes a bizarre turn when Akane is unexpectedly transformed into a duck—only to be taken home by Ranma, who’s too distracted by the situation to realize she was sprayed with ordinary water. With Akane now in duck form, she teams up with Mousse in a secret plan to outwit Ranma, setting off a tangled web of rivalry and romance that promises more confusion than ever. Written by Rumiko Takahashi, Gerard Jones, and Toshifumi Yoshida, with art by Takahashi and inks by Wayne Truman, the issue features a cover by Rumiko Takahashi and Viz Graphics.
