Classic Ranma

If you've gotten to the point where you're thinking of buying Ranma 1/2 Vol. 18, there's not much that can dissuade you. All of the Ranma 1/2 manga scores a 3 or higher. This one is a 4 simply because it's funny, but not hilarious. You cannot go wrong with Ranma 1/2.

Ranma

Genma screws up Ranma's life once again

One of the Best in the series!

Ranma 1/2, vol. 18 is one of the best in the series. With lots of humor! Humor, that's something that I look for in a book, it's whacked out funny, with a small twist, raging hormones (e.g.: Jealousy), and action filled fun. Though some people may find it stupid, and character situations farfetched, and (I quote my friend) "It's about SEX-CHANGE! What's so funny about that!?" Ranma 1/2 isn't really all that interesting until you are explained about the characters, then once you get the characters, and read the story, you will find it funny. In volume 18, Ranma's fear of cats is having him in a case scenerio of Shampoo's life, or running away. In the 16th book, Akane gets kidnapped, and what's Ranma supposed to do when his beloved fiancee gets kidnapped? Vol. 2, what does Ranma do when his first kiss is given by an unwanted person (Seriously, what would you do if you were kissed by... Ahem, back to the review). With all these new characters, and odd (Not to mention funny) twists, more fiancees, and more people after the fiancees, it's a great Manga for after a day of stress, and annoyances. But also, be warned, if you're not into major obesessions, don't read it. But if you want more pleasure, in your life, and don't really care, then by all means, read it!

Just a typical day for a gender bending martial artist

I personally love the Ranma 1/2 anime series. I first started watching the series after a saw Ranma 1/2 the movie 2, Nihao-my concubine. This was the firs graphic novel that I read and I must say, I was very impressed. P-chan rules!!!!!!
