Ranma vs. Herb

I am a 15 year old that likes manga. In the start of this volume, Mousse is trying to get a data from Shampoo but is attacked by a child that looks like a wolf(Mint) and pins him to a wall with Wolf Metor fang bullet. Akane is walking home and is attcked by a man who looks like a tiger(Lime)Ryoga walks by and hits Lime for being a prevert. Lime rams Ryoga's head into the ground and takes Akane with him. Lime meets up with Mint who is talking with Shampoo and go into the Cat Cafe and meet up with their master, Herb. Herb tosses Akane aside because they do not have time for trash, but Ranma catchs her. Ranma fights Herb but Shampoo's grandma tells not to. Herb easily takes down Ranma but with not first showing Hebs secret: He is a woman. Herb turns Ranma into his woman form, and splashes him with a speacil water. Later that night, Ranma finds out her can not trun back into a man. He then sets off, with Mousse and Ryoga, to find the Teapot, the only thing to change Ranma back to a man. Herb and Ranma fight their way to Treasure Mt. There they fight for the Teapot. This fight goes into volume 23.

Herb, Lime, and Mint

out of all the manga i have read and that is a lot(yes i have read the one's in Japanese as well) this one would have to be my personal fav. a great read for anybody with a sense of humor.

Ryoga and Mousse, they lost their brains

This book was the best book i have read so far. (i have read 1,2,3,4,20,22) Ranma gets in a fight with Herb, the leader of the musk dynsty. In doing so Ranma gets defeated and also discovers Herb is a Girl. (Ranma defeated by a girl?) When Ranma gets splashed with cold water, Herb sees this and as punishment for Ranma's attack Herb splashes mystic water on him, locking him in his girl form. Now to undo this, Ranma must find a Mystic Pot that will reverse the effects. There is also a anthor mystery, Herb wants the pot also, and they don't know why when she could have got it years ago. Well Mousse and Ryoga help Ranma but in doing so Ryoga dies ( No i am not kidding, but i didn't say for how long)

A must-read for Ranma fans

This volume of Ranma 1/2 was well worth the wait. Although a little less comedy-based than some of the other, wackier novels, Volume 22 still produced a lot of laughs. Inside, three newcomers named Herb, Mint, and Lime (weird names, I know) take on Ranma, Mousse, and Ryoga (respectively). The only problem is that Herb, Mint, and Lime have some strange powers...nothing that even Ranma has seen before! And when Ranma gets splashed with some water that threatens to steal away his manhood forever, he, Ryoga, and Mousse have to follow the three intruders to Treasure Mountain, leading to a battle unmatched by anything we've seen before. Will Ranma win back his manhood? Or will he, for the first time, have to admit defeat? In this volume, Ranma and Akane finally seem to let their guards down and stop fighting, and some very touching material (though not quite enough) comes out here. If you love Ranma 1/2, definitely get this volume!

Yay! finally! This is great!

Ranma 1/2 vol. 22 is one of my favorites in the series! Although it has some material that "may be unsuitable for children"the story is touching and wonderful. When some of the last survivors from the Musk Dynasty arrive at the Neko Hanten and their leader, Herb gets in a fight with Ranma, Ranma gets splashed with some water which locks him in female form. Ryouga and Mousse want the water to keep them in their human form and the treesome go off to find the water, but Ranma thinks they are helping him find another pot of water which will allow him to be a guy again. Herb's henchmen Mint and Lime fight Mousse and Ryouga and Ryouga dies! What will happen in this action-packed and heartwarming edition!
