☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeVolume 9 of Viz's Ranma 1/2 continues the chaotic martial arts comedy as Ranma Saotome and his rivals navigate love, curses, and absurd challenges. This collection features more of the gender-bending hijinks and slapstick battles involving Akane, Ryoga, Shampoo, and the rest of the Nerima gang, with Happosai's mischief adding to the mayhem.
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.
In "Part 2: Fowl Play," Ranma brings the mysterious duck to Soun for answers, leaving Akane to confront the aftermath of her accidental spray with normal water. Meanwhile, Akane teams up with Mousse, plotting a way to defeat Ranma—her victory would secure him for her, and his for Shampoo.
In "Part 5: Lunchtime Lunacy," Tsubasa challenges Ranma to a culinary duel—selling the most okonomiyaki decides who wins Ukyo’s hand, though Ranma has no real interest in the prize. With pride on the line and the streets of Nerima buzzing, the rivalry heats up in the most unexpected way.
In "Part 6: The Perfect Match," Ranma tries to end Tsubasa’s crush by finally revealing his true identity—only to discover Tsubasa has been hiding a secret of her own. The truth sets off a chain of awkward revelations and unexpected reactions in this lighthearted, fast-paced chapter of Ranma 1/2.
In "Part 8: Oh, Brother!", Ranma takes a mischievous turn, pretending to be Ryoga’s long-lost sister in a bid to keep the perpetually lost boy from getting too close to Akane—though the real challenge might be keeping his own cover from unraveling. Written with sharp comedic timing and grounded in the series’ signature mix of martial arts chaos and romantic entanglements, this installment delivers laughs and escalating tension without revealing how the prank ultimately plays out.
In "Part 10: The Ultimate Technique," Ranma, Genma, and Soun race against time to reach a hidden scroll that holds the secret of Happosai’s legendary Happo Fire Burst—before Happosai himself does. With their usual mix of bickering, martial arts chaos, and tangled romances, the trio faces the ultimate test of skill and speed in a showdown that could change everything.
In "Part 11: Get the Secret Scroll!", Ranma faces his most awkward mission yet—slipping into a hot spring full of naked high school girls to retrieve a hidden scroll, all while unaware that Akane is among them. With his usual mix of nerve and misfortune, he’ll need more than martial arts skill to pull this off without exposing himself—or his feelings.
