Soun Tendo receives a postcard from China indicating that his old
friend, Genma Saotome, is returning from a training trip with his son,
Ranma, to marry one of Tendo's daughters to carry on the tradition of
the Anything-Goes-School-of-Martial-Arts. When Ranma arrives, Tendo
faints in shock when it's revealed to him that Ranma is actually a
girl. Ranma's not really a girl, but he's a boy with a Chinese curse,
triggered by cold water. Hot water reverses the effect. The cause
of this curse was him falling into a cursed hot springs. Ranma is then
given a choice of Soun's three daughters; modest and affectionate Kasumi,
money-grubbing and selfish Nabiki, or cute, violent Akane. Kasumi and Nabiki
immediately pick Akane for Ranma, since Akane hates boys, but Ranma's
only a "half boy". Akane doesn't like Ranma because he beat her at
martial arts (he was a girl at the time), and Ranma doesn't like Akane
because she's violent and he doesn't have the "hots" for her. Ranma makes the crack that he's
better built as a girl than Akane is, and Akane thanks him by crushing
him with the dining table. A healthy start to a beautiful
relationship...^.^
