In this, the seventh Ranma 1/2 graphic novel, Akane gets the lead in the school play while Ranma learns kissing is such sweet sorrow; Ryoga and Ranma embark on a quest to find a legendary Japanese Naniichuan or “Spring of Drowned Man” (including an assault on the Girls' Locker Room!); and finally, Kodachi Kuno, twisted sister of Tatewaki “Blue Thunder” Kuno, whips up a batch of poisoned treats with which to snare the Young Master Saotome.
