Life for Ranma Saotome is quite difficult, but never boring. A curse brought to him by his own carelessness turns him into a voluptuous young girl whenever he is splashed by cold water. Ranma is engaged to tomboyish Akane Tendo, not only because she was the only Tendo daughter who is young enough to be paired with Ranma, but also because she hates boys and Ranma is only half a boy.
Ranma and Akane, however, are not keen on the idea of getting married because for one, Akane hates Ranma for besting her in martial arts, and Ranma thinks Akane is too violent and "un-cute". Follow Ranma's exciting daily adventures as he comes face to face with weird women and perverted men, plus a string of fianc�es that his father had neglected to mention!
