Ok, I'm sure everybody has heard the story before, but for those of you who have not, here goes! This is what it says on the back of my graphic novel...
It's not easy being a martial artist named Ranma Saotome, but it's even worse when your martial arts father, Genma, takes you from your home at an early age to go on a decade-long training mission to China. He doesn't speak a word of Chinese, and yet he insists on bringing you to the cursed training grounds known as JUSENKYO, where falling in one of many springs instantly turns you into whoever--or whatever--drowned there last. And then the two of you have this little accident.....From now on, a splash of cold water will turn your father into a giant panda, while you...well you turn into a red-haired (and incredibly well-built) female version of yourself. Hot water ill reverse the effect, but only until the next time. What's a half-guy, half-girl to do?
