Fun, fun, fun
What’s next for Ranma and Akane? The usual, of course: shenanigans, crazy martial art action, embarrassing situations.
A new character, Ryoga, makes an appearance: he has a grudge against Ranma and his revenge will be terrible. Martial arts are involved. Ryoga’s life is complicated by his spatial challenges (=lousy sense of direction), so he usually ends up 500 km from the place he wanted to get to.
Let’s not forget to mention that Ranma and Akane still really, really hate each other. (How touching!)
