Rumiko Takahashi. The story revolves around the Japanese teenage boy
Ranma Saotome who has trained in martial arts since early childhood.
As a result of an accident during a training journey in China, he is
cursed to become a girl when splashed with cold water, while hot water
changes him back into a boy. Throughout the series Ranma seeks out a
way to rid his curse, while his friends, enemies and many fiancées
constantly hinder and interfere.Many of the characters are similarly
cursed to turn into animals or other creatures when splashed and are
skilled in different and unusual types of martial arts. The large
