Ranma, of course, just assumes that Ukyou is male, and has to approach in
Ranko form - which will not have the expected result, as Ukyou is also a
girl.  Just seethes with possibilities for misunderstandings before each
finds out the truth about the other.

Gah!  *Thank You*!  This is *great*.  I didn't think of all the 
possibilities in this - now I can't *wait*! :)

Who know?  Maybe Ukyou is broad minded enough to want to marry Ranko anyway
- after all, she *is* male half the time!

The whole fiancee's relationships will be a little more subtle that in 
the original - except Shampoo, of course, to whom "subtle" means using 
only *one* bonbori.

Ranko:  Sweet lemons from Australia!  Sometimes I think Kasumi is
having us all on.

BWAH ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Strangely enough, I didn't see a reaction from The True Owner Of This 
List, yet. :)

*****
Ranko:  [hisses] I may not be a real boy, but I know this:  If a girl trusts
you, and you have a single shred of honour in your body, you don't betray
that trust.  Akane trusts P-chan.  Now, taking advantage of this to gain
access to her body would be an *ugly* thing to do.  You won't betray her
trust.  Do you understand me?  Nod once for 'yes', turn blue and die for 'no'.

Thank you - This sums up muy feelings on Ryouga *perfectly* - Ranma makes a
darn *good* girl, ne?

She doesn't mince words.  And she *really, really* likes Akane. :)

*****
She ducks into a side street, hoping that her pursuitor missed her change
                                               ^^^^^^^^^
of direction.  Unfortunately, by looking over her shoulder she misses the
fact that there is a big, wooden tank of water ahead.

Another Freudian slip?

Actually, I stole that from the Viz title (I think) of a part of the 
original Manga.

ROFL...  This is a *wonderful* dig.  Just one question?  At what point did
Tofuu sensei find out about Ranma/Ranko and the curse - heretofore it seems
like he has regarded them as separate people.  (I know he knows in the
manga, but the circumstances where he learned it didn;t happen here, or am
I forgetting something?)

I have no idea when he learns in the manga.  He just seemed to know 
suddenly, so I assumed that he must have found out sometime between 
stories.  With Ranko's frequent trips to the clinic, It was bound to 
happen pretty soon.

Ranma:  No way!  Think of last time we went here!

WAITAMINNIT!  Just what *does* Ranma remember about the last time?  He
doesn't know anything about being a girl anymore, does he?

In fact I thought of adding a scene where Akane listens amazedly to 
Ranma's vague and warped recount of the events in part 14.  But that 
would have made this part too long - I try to keep them approximately as 
long as one part of the manga.  That's also why I don't like long graphic 
fighting scenes, since they make the file so short. :)

"We could learn from this"
"I will stay with her"
"I don't want to hurt her" and
"I look like a man!"

What do you think?  Which one would be best?

Actually... none of them.  I like the existing title to this section...

OK, I'll consider keeping it.

Boy - talk about your MPD - Jaclyn Hyde Syndrome!

Err, what's that?  This one went over my head, I'm afraid.

Looking forward to the next part!

Zen-

Thanks, Zen.  Your comments are very helpful and I cherish every positive 
word. :)
