Life at the Tendo household takes a turn for the weird at the arrival of Ranma, a boy cursed to turn into a girl when splashed with cold water - and while he may not be aware of it himself, it certainly doesn't help that his personality can change on a whim between an abrasive jerk and the sweetest girl this side of Nerima! As their martial schools need a marital union to ensure a prosperous future, the two families decide that Ranma would be best paired with Akane, who would rather continue her training than figure out why her heart beats at the idea of an union with a girl… or at least someone that appears to be one half the time.
Will Akane Tendo and Ranma Saotome manage to untangle their true desires out of all the expectations dropped onto them?
