Uh, what's wrong with the Ranma/Akane pair?

You don't _really_ want me to get into this, now do you?

Well, anyways, here's a list of the problems:

- Akane is overly sensitive about a number of things, and Ranma is
awfully good at insulting her about those things (both
unintentionally and intentionally.)

- The reverse is also true, albeit to a lesser extent.

- Akane simply can't seem to trust Ranma.  Whenever anything happens,
she automatically assumes the worst from Ranma, and then either won't
give him a chance to explain himself, or if she does let him explain,
she won't believe it.  This has happened _countless_ times in the
manga, and Akane just can't seem to catch on.

I have to say that you're wrong. Akane is the only one who has full
faith and trust in Ranma. She says as much every time she is kidnapped.
In "Nihao, My concubine" and "Big trouble in Nekronon, China" to name
two.
