After training in China, Ranma had developed a strange physical condition where he turns into a girl when splashed with cold water and returns to a boy when splashed with hot water...
Involving the unique people around them, Ranma and the others cry, laugh, and occasionally fall in love in this invincible martial arts romantic comedy that remains completely vibrant even today.
