Ranma 1/2
|
One day, Soun Tendo calls his 3 daughters in and tells them that one of them is going
to be iinazuke (fiancee) to Ranma, the son of his best friend. Soun faints when Ranma
arrives and turns out to be a *girl*. It soon turns out that Ranma is really a boy, but
has a curse where he will turn into a girl when cold water is splashed on him. Hot water
returns him to normal. Nabiki and Kasumi immediately elect Akane as the iinazuke
because "she hates boys and Ranma is only half a boy". Ranma, for his part, doesn't
like Akane because she's violent and "not cute". Akane is miffed at Ranma because he
beat her in martial arts (Ranma was a girl then) and shows her feelings by crushing
Ranma with a table. A wonderful start to a beautiful relationship.
