Ranma Nibunnoichi

Ranma Nibunnoichi is one Takahashi Rumiko's famous works. Ranma Saotome, the main character of the story, went training with his father, Genma Saotome, to China's training ground Jusenkyo, also known as the land of cursed springs. Upon reaching Jusenkyo with a help of a guide, the father-and-son started training immediately without a valuable advice from the guide- not to fall into the cursed springs.

Slipping off a bamboo pole, Ranma accidentally fell into the NiangNiChuan and was then cursed to change into a girl when Ranma comes into contact with cool water. Genma, on the other hand, fell into the XiongMaoNiChuan, also known as the Cursed Spring of Drowned Panda and was cursed to change into a panda whenever he comes into contact with cool water.

The worst wasn't over for Ranma. Besides becoming a girl when he comes into contact with water, Ranma was put into series of marriages with girls he had never seen before thanks to his father. (Out of these fiancees, Akane Tendo was the only one that Ranma disliked in the beginning but slowly became fond of her.)

So the day for Ranma to meet Akane finally came. But what the Tendos (Akane's family) saw wasn't what they really expected. As it was raining that day, Genma and Ranma appeared as a panda and girl respectively. Thus, a sweet and hilarious story began...
