Happosai!!,

This review is from: Ranma 1/2, Vol. 6 (Paperback)
My daughter loves Happosai & he is well intro'd here. He's drawn cuter in later editions--looks much older here(lack of female contact?) His intro takes up half the volume--the 2nd half is a Shampoo plot to snag Ranma leaving Akane to defend the dojo, but Ranma can't stay away from a fight.

This review is from: Ranma 1/2, Vol. 6 (Paperback)
I'm a fifteen-year old girl who is desperately obsessed with japanese animation, and ranma 1/2 is number one on my list. Rumiko Takahashi is an absolute genius for creating such a brilliant story that i absolutely adore. IF ONLY I HAD THE MONEY! I've only read volumes 1,2,3,5,11, and i must have more! the manga is hilarious and the art is absolutely charming. the videos are wonderful too(but only the subtitled ones)and i couldn't recommend this series more highly to all anime lovers and the people with even the slightest interest in the awsome stuff! :) (I just wish viz would get all 38 books out quicker, i wanna know what happens in #12!)

Enter Happosai,
This review is from: Ranma 1/2, Vol. 6 (Paperback)
As "Ranma 1/2" enters its sixth volume, Rumiko Takahashi introduces one of her most memorable characters, and Ranma's perpetual nemesis. As if dealing with a lecherous little imp weren't bad enough, Ranma also has to deal with the dueling jealousies of two of his fiancees.In the mountains, a strange little figure stumbles out of a cave and makes its way to Tokyo. He soon encounters Ranma and Akane (and tries to grope both of them), and it's soon revealed that he's Soun and Genma's lecherous, thieving, nasty, pantyphilic old master, Happosai. To Ranma's horror, it turns out that Happosai is very pleased that his new student turns into a nubile girl... Since they can't throw him out, Happosai continues a reign of terror, kept only a little in check by Ranma: He goes on underwear raids, causes mayhem in the public baths, and fights Ryoga and Ranma simultaneously as he tries to worm his way into Akane's bedroom. And when Ranma defeats his underwear-stealing plans, Happosai takes very sinister revenge. But Ranma has some revenge of his own -- "woman repellant" that will send every girl running... No sooner has Ranma dealt with that than a new problem arises: Soun says a Dojo Destroyer has challenged them, and that he and Akane need to defeat the Destroyer. It's just a ploy to get them to fall in love, but the stakes rise when a real Destroyer shows up. The problem is, Shampoo is trying to lure Ranma on a date -- if he goes with her, he'll get the Instant Spring of Drowned Man.... but Akane might lose the fight. In this volume, Takahashi introduced one of her most entertainingly nasty characters -- Happosai, a vicious little geezer who constantly lusts after young girls. And alas for Ranma, he turns into a girl. It's unpleasant for Ranma, but makes for plenty of great comedy when the poor guy is constantly pounced on (in the baths, in the street, in the bathroom) by a creepy little man. There are also plenty of other amusing scenarios, such as when Akane thrashes Happosai in her sleep, or when Happosai gets lodged inside a teapot. The funniest is undoubtedly the bathhouse scene, where Ranma is forced to duel with Happosai with soap, buckets and his own nude body, but not before Happosai sprays him with cold water... on the men's side. And putting the "romantic" part in "romantic comedy" is the triangle between Akane, Ranma and Shampoo. Poor Ranma desperately wants to be all-guy again, but all his instincts tell him to go help Akane. He doesn't want to be on a date with Shampoo, but of course Akane thinks he does. Ranma being who he is, pretty soon he's trying to deal with both problems at once. The sixth volume of "Ranma 1/2" ups the comedy ante with the little wrinkled perv and his silky darlings. And it only gets wackier from there on in.
