Curses, combat, and comic complications

This two-in-one edition collects volumes 3 and 4 of Rumiko Takahashi’s manga series, built around a martial artist whose transformation into a girl is triggered by cold water—and whose father turns into a panda. The premise brings supernatural transformations into a martial-arts setting, while the described conflicts center on a succession of challengers: Ryoga, Shampoo, and Mousse. Their differing ties to Ranma give the combat a mix of rivalry and personal entanglement. The edition is presented remastered and unflipped, with the collected-volume format bringing two installments together.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Manga readers interested in martial-arts rivalries and supernatural transformations
  • Readers seeking a two-volume collection of Rumiko Takahashi’s Ranma 1/2
  • Those who enjoy stories combining combat with identity-based comic complications

Book overview

The all-time classic hit series of gender-swapping, species-bending, madcap martial arts mayhem!

One day, teenaged martial artist Ranma Saotome went on a training mission with his father and ended up taking a dive into some cursed springs at a legendary training ground in China. Now, every time he's splashed with cold water, he changes into a girl. His father, Genma, changes into a panda! What's a half-guy, half-girl to do? Find out what fueled the worldwide manga boom in beloved creator Rumiko Takahashi's (InuYasha, Urusei Yatsura, RIN-NE) smash hit of martial arts mayhem, presented remastered and unflipped for the first time.

Being a martial artist, Ranma just can't resist the call to combat and takes on one opponent after another: Ryoga, a lone-wolf fighter with no sense of direction; Shampoo, a Chinese Amazon who has pledged to kill him; and finally Shampoo's suitor Mousse, a martial arts master of hidden weapons. Is there such a thing as TOO much fighting spirit?
