Great

Fantastic for any fan of Ranma 1/2 I am slowly falling in love with the manga, as it has zero filler and everything makes ALOT more sense. HIGHLY Recommended!!!

What can I say? Wow.

Well, I've finally read the entire Ranma 1/2 series (if you want to know where I read the untranslated novels, e-mail me). All I can say is wow. I love Takahashi-sensei more than ever now, but I can't help feeling a bit sad about it. This review is just to tell all you folks out there that have never read Ranma, (or have only read a little bit of it and disliked it) it's truly a great accomplishment. A few reasons why I like it. First, it's very, very funny - it appeals to my sense of humor exactly. But here's the interesting thing - Takahashi-sensei doesn't just leave it at that. In some of the later novels, Ranma is positively dramatic, and I'd be lying to you if I said I didn't cry on more than one occasion. Of course, I think perhaps the main reason that I like Ranma 1/2 is the romance, which is Takahashi's forte. Ranma and Akane's relationship goes so slowly, Takahashi just gives you little momments between the two, yet ultimately it is enough. Another huge part of Ranma - the action, of course! This is what draws many people in to reading Ranma, what first appealed to me. Takahashi is so fantastic with her action scenes, it makes you wonder where she gets it from! She can do a love scene, a comedy scene and an action scene all rolled into one. I haven't even mentioned the art-work yet. At first when I picked up Ranma, I made the mistake of thinking it overly simplistic, which I've come to realize is not the case. It's true that Takahashi goes for a simple style, but it's beautiful in it's simplicity. Takahashi truly communicates with her art in a way that others miss.To conclude: read Ranma 1/2. Trust me when I say it's worth it. There will always be a special place in my heart for Ranma 1/2. Thank you Takahashi-sensei, for sharing your gift.

I can't get enough!

O.K. so you want a funny manga? Get a Ranma book! This halarious series will make you laugh until your sides are aching. Rumiko Takahashi is genious, she adds enoug confusion to make this book funny but you can still understand it. If you haven't read a Ranma book before the story line is a little like this: so you've got a hot guy right, well the only problem is that he and his father have a little...well, accident... so when ever he is splashed with cold water he turns in to a girl, on top of that he's forced to become engaged with his dads best friends daughter. Confused? Just read the books. In addition to awesome drawings Rumiko Takahashi creates a hot of halarious and twisted (Kuno, Hopposai ^^) characters. I really recomend this book. P.S. sorry about my spelling heh heh heh ^-^'

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

About 6 months ago i was browsing in a book store and i noticed the 13 ranma book on diplay. I had seen something like it in on of the early magazines i had read. So i picked it up and began to read. By the end of the first Part i was in hysterics on the floor! when i got home and continued to finish it i went online and bought about 4 more!since then i've collected all the Ranma books (1-13 ordered 14)and have also read almost every other manga Rumiko Takahashi has written and liked Ranma 1/2 and Urusei Yatsura the most. SO for all of y'all out there who have not yet read a Rumiko Takahashi Masterpiece READ ONE! P.S 4 every1 out there lol means Laugh Out Loud P.P.S (last one i swear!) all i have to say is THE 14TH ONE CAME OUT! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
