Background: The martial arts students Saotome Ranma and Tendou Akane are to marry each other. This was decided by their fathers, and was pretty much against their will. To make matters worse, after martial arts training at the Magical Springs in China, Ranma's father Genma is cursed to change into a panda and Ranma is cursed to change into a beautiful buxom female whenever doused in cold water. Luckily, hot water reverses the effects. And so Ranma continues his quest to end his curse and to finally be rid of the the involuntary transformations he has had to endure. The advances of the many women (and men) in his (her) entourage certainly do not make things easier. Tiptoeing through such an emotional minefield will take all of Ranma's wit and martial arts skills...

The story, originally published in Ranma ½ vol. 22, features a brooch that makes Shampoo feel the opposite of her true feelings for Ranma. Ranma begins to panic at the thought of losing one of his fiancees, and plans to tell Shampoo that he loves her. Forseeing this, Cologne invites all his friends, so once he confesses, he'll be unable to back out of their engagement. This benefits Ryoga and Kuno as well, as they plan to sweep Akane away once Ranma makes his supposed feelings for Shampoo public.
