Ranma 1/2 follows the daily life of high school student Ranma Saotome, who turns into a girl when splashed with water, and his fiancée Akane Tendo. The story is a martial arts romantic comedy that draws in those around them. The TV anime originally aired from 1989 to 1992. Later, it was adapted into theatrical films and OVAs, and in 2011, a live-action drama starring Yui Aragaki (as Akane) was produced.
