I was certainly surprised at how much I enjoyed this first volume considering how much I hate one of her other works, Inuyasha (god how I hate Inuyasha)
But this on the other hand was perverse, violent, absurdist, gender bending fun.
Much more to my liking.
The drawings are a bit iffy but they suffice and, in the case of Ranma's Panda form father, actually excel.
I was a little thrown off by the 'flipped' aspect of this edition (I've grown rather used to reading from right to left with manga)
I think my favorite aspect would have to be the directionally challenged and permanently embittered Ryoga. I hope to see more of him in future volumes. ( )

Cute and Violent!
I am addicted to Ranma 1/2 and am always reading the series.

"Ranma! you jerk!"

"Bloosh! BBBLBBBLBBL !WHOOM!...Sham...Shampoo?"

"Nihao!"

I picked up Ranma after being exposed to Takahashi's other works that are slightly more serious. This stuff is very silly, but amusing! ( )
