I first read this series in middle school. The library had several volumes, but they were missing some so I never got to finish the series. Ranma 1/2 was the first manga series I ever read and I am so glad that I am revisiting it after all these years. The humor and art hold up so well, no wonder it was a success around the world.

I've had this itch the last couple of weeks to reread this series, because I saw some fanart that made me all nostalgic.
Ranma was one of the first manga I read as a kid, and the first one that I started collecting. I really think it had a big part in shaping my taste in manga. It's funny, the style is awesome, and there's comidic fan service, but it's not super gross to look at like some other (and newer) series that I've read. Everything is kind of goofy and it's super enjoyable. Also, my edition of the book is getting kind of old, since it's from 2003, so there's this nice old-book smell and feel to the paper.

I liked this alot- funny, cute, and partial nudity, if you're into that sort of thing. I'm just hoping that the whole series isn't non-stop mistaken identity hijinks. We'll see.
