<SPOILER ALERT>




















Does this story really take place in Japan?  Guns, PCP, gang rape.  You
sure Patricia didn't land about 10 blocks south of me?  There is crime in
Japan.  But I think you've gone a bit overboard.  In 1994, all of Japan had
about as many murders as New York City.  Guns are rare.  PCP is uncommon.
Why such a level of violence? 

You seem to be inconsistent about Akane's strength.  She knocks Ranma into
suborbital flight, but fighting for her life she can't take down the leader
even with the advantage of surprise.  Is this the same Akane who would
dispose of the horde of male students every morning with such dispatch?
