A recent leak assured that the manga written and illustrated by Rumiko Takahashi , “ Ranma 1/2 ”, will have a new anime adaptation (remake) whose details will be announced soon . Like any leak, the information is pending confirmation, but the source is extremely reliable.

 


For her part, Rumiko Takahashi began publishing the manga through Shogakukan 's Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine in August 1987 and ended it in March 1996, compiling the work into a total of thirty-eight volumes. The work was adapted into an anime in April 1989 by Studio Deen , and was followed by a new adaptation of 143 episodes in October 1989, produced by the same studio.

Recently, “ Uruhei Yatsura ,” another of Rumiko Takahashi ’s works , also had a new anime adaptation forty years after its original broadcast.

Ranma 1/2 Synopsis

Ranma Saotome is a top-class martial artist and a prodigy of the Saotome School of Anything Goes martial arts. During his training in China, he and his father meet a terrible fate when they accidentally fall into a cursed spring. Now, Ranma is cursed to turn into a girl when cold water splashes on him, and only hot water can turn him back into a boy.

Things get even more complicated when Ranma discovers that his father has arranged for him to marry one of Soun Tendo's three daughters in order to secure the future of the Tendo dojo. Although Soun learns of Ranma's situation, he is still determined to go through with the engagement, and chooses his youngest daughter Akane, who happens to be an expert martial artist and has a reputation for hating men.
