    I'll admit I was dubious of the first part. Nodoka's idea
seemed to contradict the fact that she apparently chose Akane in
the manga, and it sounded like a dumb idea anyway, since it
signally failed to address the questions of whom Ranma would
prefer to marry and whom he might be happiest with.

    The ending of this story, however, completely restored my
faith in humanity. Thank you.

I agree. This was a lame idea to begin with, and I was desperately
hoping that David would pull some kind of twist at the end. I was not
disappointed. :)

to stop me from marrying Ranma unless I swear never to go 
back to Joketsuzo and live as a Japanese wife for the rest 

    "Joketsuzoku" I believe. Or since she's speaking Chinese
the Chinese version, which is something like "Nyechiezu" (the
spelling's wrong there). Perhaps just say "the village".

I think Bert Miller figured out that it was "Nujiezu" in pinyin
romanization (can't find his post to confirm it). "The Village" would
work fine, as would "home."
