Ranma Saotome is a highly skilled martial artist and a prodigy at the Saotome "Anything-Goes" school of martial arts. While undergoing training in China, Ranma and his father face a disastrous twist of fate as they accidentally plunge into a cursed spring. Consequently, Ranma is now under the spell to transform into a girl when exposed to cold water, with only hot water able to reverse the transformation.
The plot takes a complicated turn when Ranma learns that his father has prearranged a marriage for him with one of Soun Tendo's three daughters, a move intended to ensure the future of the Tendo dojo. Despite Soun becoming aware of Ranma's unique situation, he remains resolute in proceeding with the engagement and selects his youngest daughter, Akane. Akane is not only a proficient martial artist but is also infamous for her aversion to men.
Ranma ½ unfolds the comical escapades of Ranma and Akane as they confront various adversaries, encounter potential love interests, and devise inventive ways to provoke each other—all while the looming engagement hangs over their heads.
