"Ranma 1/2" is based on a manga of the same name by Rumiko Takahashi, who also created "Inuyasha." It was originally published from 1987 to 1996 and first adapted into anime in 1989.

The story follows a teenage boy named Ranma Saotome, who trains in martial arts. He is cursed to become a girl when cold water is poured over him, but he can turn back into a boy with hot water.
