The Egg of the Phoenix is a legendary treasure and pounding headache for Ranma. Unless Ranma can force-feed the bird into maturity (and thus free himself from its attacks), he’ll be on the bottom of the pecking order for the next 100 years. Will the bird, bird, bird have the final word? Elsewhere, Ryoga makes a potential love connection with a breeder of sumo-wrestling pigs, but will his alter ego P-chan cause a misunderstanding with dire consequences? -- VIZ Media

The gang gets shipwrecked on a deserted island, Akane and Miss Hinako race to see who can learn to swim first, Ranma eats some very bad noodles, and a magical umbrella that makes those who wander beneath it fall in love adds to an already complicated situation for Ryoga.

Being a martial artist, Ranma just can’t resist the call to combat and takes on one opponent after another: Ryoga, a lone-wolf fighter with no sense of direction; Shampoo, a Chinese Amazon who has pledged to kill him; and finally Shampoo’s suitor Mousse, a martial arts master of hidden weapons. Is there such a thing as TOO much fighting spirit? -- VIZ Media

Ryoga + new disciple Akari + Akane + a magical umbrella = a complicated equation of dueling love. Next there’s a swimming contest between Akane and Miss Hinako that leaves one of them taking a dive. Then, a legendary dôgi—armor said to endow its wearer with ultimate power—is given to Ranma, Genma and Soun. But when the dôgi picks Akane to be its wearer, it soon comes between her and Ranma! It’s now or never for Ranma to confess his true feelings for Akane, but will he? -- VIZ Media

Furinkan High gets a new principal with some very radical ideas about student discipline and a rather unexpected relationship with blustering upperclassman Kuno. Then, poor lovesick Ryoga finally gets a break when a magical bar of soap cures his porcine transformations. If it’s not too good to be true, then it won’t all come out in the wash. -- VIZ Media

Contains volumes 1 and 2! Years ago, Genma promised his old friend Soun Tendo that Ranma would marry one of Soun’s three daughters and carry on the family’s martial arts school. Except that the girl picked to be Ranma’s bride doesn’t seem to like him, Ranma keeps getting into fights...and did we mention that whole changing into a girl thing? -- VIZ Media

Ten years ago, Ukyo made a special okonomiyaki sauce—which Ranma secretly ruined. Unaware of what Ranma had done, Ukyo to this day can’t quite understand why Ranma’s being extra nice to her despite the phenomenal failure of her special sauce. Akane’s onto Ranma, though, and one way or another he’s going to pay. -- VIZ Media
