When old friend GENMA SAOTOME comes for a visit with young RANMA in tow, it seems the long-awaited formal betrothal between one of the Tendo girls and Genma's son Ranma will finally take place.
Of course, no one expected that the little trip to China Genma and Ranma took on thier way to the Tendos woudl turn out so disastously. Who could have known that falling into one of the area's many springs would transform the unlucky swimmer into whoever-or whateer-drowned there hundreds of years ago?
Genma becomes a giant panda and Ranma... well. Ranma becomes a beautiful, bosomy young girl (thus the title Ranma 1/2). From now on, a splash of cold water will instantly transform both Genma and Ranma into their wacky alter egos. Hot water will reverse the effect... but ontly until the next time.
Will Soun accept his daughter-in-law? Will Genma learn to like bamboo for breakfast? Most importantly, will Ranma ever learn to stay out of the rain...? RANMA 1/2 by the irrpressible Rumiko Takahashi- yin and yang was never so much fun!
