Tales of Ranma and Ranko Part 2

Review

The story keeps getting stranger and stranger but it still is written well and continues to be quite interesting.

Synopsis

Chapter 1

Akane is worried that Ranma will still be in love with Ranko. Nabiki is also worried that Ranma might end up hurting Akane. Ranma and Ranko meet Akane in the classroom and later Ranko gets to beat up on Kuno.

There's more humor in the chapter as things are looking up for everyone.

Chapter 2

Akane, Ranko, Ranma and Nabiki visit Dr. Tofu, with Ranko staying behind to discuss what had happened with the doctor.

Ranko then has a private talk with Nabiki.

Nabiki introduces Ranko to Genma and Soun (after letting Ranko borrow some of her clothes); it seems that Ranko already knows Kasumi.

Chapter 3

Ranko reveals she has been talking to Kasumi for over a month before she and Ranma started to talk. Soun wants Akane and Ranma to get married right now, but they say they will probably get married but when they choose.

Happosai glomps onto Ranko and nearly kills her by draining so much energy from her.

It's revealed that Genma and Soun have some kind of ulterior motive for getting Akane and Ranma together beyond just their getting married, and Genma refers to Nodoka as a "lunatic." Nabiki overhears them talking, though, and decides to find out just what is going on.

Chapter 4

Akane and Ranma are still working on their relationship, with Akane still upset about how she had treated him in the past.

There's a typhoon coming and they start to get prepared, but not before Genma insults both Ranma and Ranko. Ranko grabs him and throws him into the pond. Akane is still jealous of Ranko.

Arrangements are made for Ranko to sleep in Kasumi's room at night.

Shampoo is making arrangments for some kind of groom-raid.

Ukyou is also making some kind of plans to grab Ranma during the typhoon.

Akane is remembering her mother referring to her as stupid and ugly.

Ryouga plans to kill Ranma that night, and Happosai plans to attack Ranko again.

Chapter 5

Nabiki tells Akane she thinks Ranma and Ranko are up to something but it turns out they were just playing a videogame. Later Nabiki and Ranko talk and it turns out Nabikii was behind Kuno's declaring Akane had to be defeated to date her. She also reveals that only Kasumi was planned and her mother never really loved her or Akane very much, just Kasumi.

Ryouga attacks Ranko who gets changed into male form by the rain and punts P-chan far away.

Ranma and Akane start playing with each other sexually.

Nodoka arrives and mistakes Ranko for Ranma. Ranko is very angry with her.

The power goes out and Ukyo kidnaps Ranma.

Chapter 6

Kodachi is in a mental hospital allegedly for attempting suicide. She escapes from the place.

Ryouga is at Dr. Tofu's but sees Akane and Ranko (in male form) run by and wants to go after them.

Ukyou plans to keep Ranma and "de-program" him from Akane and Ranko.Nodoka reveals that "Ichiro" is Ranma's real father. Meanwhile Shampoo and Cologne are still after Ranma with Ryouga falling them in a scuba outfit.

Happosai is after Ranko.

Akane and Ranko get to Uchan's and close behind them are Shampoo, Cologne and Ryouga.

Chapter 7

They find Ranma stuck to the walls of Ukyo's with noodles. The others arrive and chaos ensues (to say the least).

Happosai drinks some cursed water and turns into a handsome, tall man.

Both Kunos run off to join the fun (after being brief by Sasuke who had been spying at the restaurant.)

The battle is rather fierce. Shampoo plans to hit Akane when she's not looking, but Ranko embeds two chopsticks in Shampoo's hands (Ranko is somewhat on the extremely violent side) while Akane finishes the job, hitting Shampoo and sending her through the window.

Rouga manages to hit Ranko very hard, hurting her while Akane is attacking Ukyou.

Shampoo gets hit with water and changes into a cat, terrifying Ranma (who is now male), but instead of going into the neko-ken Ranko does. She slices Ryouga's umbrella to bits and starts slicing him to bits.

The chapter ends with Akane and Ranma reunited, Ranko back to female (and normal), and daring anyone else to start anything.

Chapter 8

Happosai tries to capture Ranko but Cologne hits him with a staff and Ranma hits him, stopping him.

Akane, meanwhile, solidly defeats Kodachi.

Happosai manages to grab Ranko and drain her energy, threatening her life with the gods intervene, changing Happosai into a baby.

Back at the dojo Ryouga's father arrives. Kasumi tells him Ryouga is not welcome, but he can come in from the storm.

Dr. Tofu soon arrives at Uchan's where he finds Akane near death (she used so much of her energy attacking those trying to steal Ranma) and he puts her to sleep so she can start healing.

Chapter 9

The chapter opens in Dr. Tofu's clinic. Kodachi and Ukyo are in a psychiatric ward, Kuno just out of surgery.

Kasumi, Ranko and Nabiki decide to keep secret the fact that Ranma and Ryouga are really brothers and Genma is not the father of either.

Ranma and Akane go to the gym attic to keep Akane away from any people who want to hurt her. Ranko, meanwhile, is growing lonely.

Chapter 10

Shampoo wishes for her love to appear and Ryouga shows up. Ukyou is still in a mental institution while Kodachi was arrested for possessing controlled substances and is in a maximum-security psychiatric institute.
