It's not easy being a teenaged martial artist named Ranma Saotome, but it's even worse when your martial artist father Genma takes you from home at an early age to go on a decade-long training mission. He doesn't speak a word of Chinese, and yet he insists on bringing you to the cursed training ground known as Jusenkyo, where falling into one of many springs instantly turns you into whoever - or whatever - drowned there last. And then, the two of you have this little ACCIDENT...

"Gosunkugi and the Magic Paper Dolls": When you're Hikaru Gosunkugi, what do you do...? You've got a crush on Akane, yet for you she hardly seems to have the time of day. You'd like to let her know how you feel, but there's that pesky Ranma to consider. And then this mysterious fellow offers to sell you a pack of magic paper dolls...

"Akane's Unfathomable Heart": He claims to be able to read people's minds, but can he prove it? A young boy named "Satori" meets Ryoga in the woods one day and takes from him an image of Akane. Determined to get to her before Ryoga does, Satori shows up on the door of the Tendo Dojo - and then things go really crazy.

"Master and Student... Forever?": Fed up with Ranma's insolent ways, Happosai concocts a scheme to make him obey, whether he likes it or not! One thing Happosai never considered, though, was that this new "bond" might inconvenience him as much as his new, dutiful, completely obedient disciple. Now Ranma's stuck on Happosai, but Happosai's stuck to him, too!
