Ranma Random House

Hello 👋🏼

In this post, I'm posting my art again, this time about an anime called Ranma 1/2

In this picture, i made them wear casual clothes or whatever that is. In the picture there are ranma, akane, ryoga, xian pu, and the opposite gender of ranma. if you look at ryoga, his face in this picture looks softer than usual, i don't know exactly how to make his face smile, it looks like a baby

Ok enough, that's all I can say. Thanks for reading this sh1t

1) Ranma never identified himself as “Ranko” and it wasn’t even a thing in the story; it was exclusively for his mom so she doesn’t find out who he was. Besides, it’s hardly used because there aren’t many chapters about Nodoka pre-revelation anyways.

2) He, as “Ranko”, was supposed to be Akane’s cousin (something I’ve always found funny and sweet, btw? I mean, how he went for being her cousin before “Soun’s niece” when it makes more sense for someone to relate oneself first to the head of a family when introducing themselves). SO, in any case, his full name should be something like,

Ranko Tendo

Ranko [whatever Akane’s mom maiden name was]

Ranko [whatever was the surname of Soun’s or Akane’s mom’s sister’s spouse]

With the above said, I have checked 5 Japanese volumes and there 'らんま' is only used twice (max. trice in case my memory fails me):

-In the first pages when Genma, in a terrible handwriting, sent a postcard to Sowun telling him that they will come. Here we know Sowun knows nothing about Genma's son so it makes sense to write his name in a simpler manner (hiragana)

-The other one when Ranma is announced in the gymnastic fight vs Kodachi. Here the written language allows to play with the ambiguity of Ranma's identity
