With Thy Brave Bearing

Review

A story about Ranma-chan's time near her graduation from college. She's teaching some kind of martial-arts class and a young punk wants to take her on. Things work out okay that way, but she's still having major problems adjusting to being a woman and to having feelings like a woman and to the way her body responds when she's aroused.

It fits with the other stories in the series.

Synopsis

Ranma-chan wakes up. Kentaro has slept over. They don't sleep on the same futon.

Ranma-chan has become the team captain for the gymnastics team. Some guy on the men's team gives her a hard time and she shows him a tiny portion of her skill.

Then the story shifts to Ranma-chan giving martial arts lessons and Kentaro is working with her. The punk from before shows up to challenge her but she won't bother with him.

Kentaro and Ranma-chan later go to her apartment. He starts kissing her then begins to fondle her breasts. Then she allows him to feel underneath her shirt, but has him stop. She still can't really deal with being in a female body and feeling the feelings that arousal brings. Kentaro suggests she might need professional help in dealing with her problems with adjustment to the reality of being a female.

Kentaro gets to Ranma-chan's class and he's badly injured. Tange, the punk from before, beat him up. Ranma-chan says she will fight Tange just like he's been wanting her to do.

He turns out to be a very good fighter. Ranma-chan wins the fight, but they will end up working on teaching each other various moves in the future.

Kentaro suggests that Ranma-chan start going out with Tange but she says she's only interested in being with Kentaro.

Kentaro tells Ranma-chan that he loves her and she gets furious with him.

They go a week before they end up making up.
