Ranma 1/2 Part Ten #3

In "Part 5 Akane's Feelings," tangled emotions simmer beneath the surface of everyday chaos as Ryoga grapples with a sudden, bewildering hope—could Akane ever truly be his? Meanwhile, Akane struggles to understand why Ranma refuses her mochi, a small act that feels suddenly loaded with meaning. And somewhere in the middle, Ranma fights to keep his own feelings hidden, even as the idea of Akane with someone else stirs something he can't quite name.
