Where Does The Ranma ½ Anime End In The Manga?

Ranma ½ was likely a first taste of gender-benders for a lot of people, and I’m sure more than a few people found that they didn’t dislike it. While the gender-bending did lead to a lot of fun shenanigans for comedy, to the credit of the series, it often had some interesting stories outside of the jokes.

What to Expect From The Ranma ½ Manga?

To be perfectly honest, Ranma ½ is one of the worst Rumiko Takahashi anime adaptations. Not as a story, but as an anime adaptation of the story.

I highly recommend just reading the Ranma ½ manga from the beginning. It commits all the anime adaptation sins – Replacing manga characters with anime-only characters, leaving out characters and thus events out completely, changing events, skipping events. This series is long-known to have “anime fans” and to have “manga fans,” very rare are there fans that really love both versions.
