Ranma ½ is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Rumiko Takahashi with an anime adaptation. The story revolves around a 16-year old boy named Ranma Saotome who was trained from early childhood in martial arts. As a result of an accident during a training journey, he is cursed to become a girl when splashed with cold water, but hot water will change him back into a boy.
I find its an interesting story, unique as far as know. The story is interesting and has a lot of unusual twists. Fiancees springing up from nowhere (usually getting Akane in a twist) unusual forms of martial arts, and lots of comedy. I find it good for a laugh, not to be taken seriously, good for all ages.
