Synopsis of Ranma 1/2

The life of young Ranma Saotome is far from ordinary. A master of martial arts, he is the victim of an unusual curse: every time he is sprayed with cold water, he turns into a girl. The return to one's masculine form can only be done with hot water. This spell is the result of a fall into a cursed spring during a workout in China.

Back in Japan, things get complicated when her father, Genma, tells her that he has arranged a marriage with one of the daughters of the Tendo family.

Akane Tendo is an energetic girl who is also good at martial arts. The two teenagers soon find themselves at the center of incredible situations, oscillating between martial arts rivalries, love misunderstandings and identity crises.
