Oh my goodness am I behind on logging books... Well, one at a time...
So, in this volume of the manga Ranma tries to regain his strength by learning the technique Dragon Blast of Heaven and Akane risks her life to help him. I can see elements that the author will use in Inuyasha in this episode. Next, Shampoo brings some bell charms back from China that are supposed to bring the couple wearing them closer together; however, they are really the property of a demon cat who is looking for a bride of his own. How can they win with Ranma being deathly afraid of felines? Next, Principle Tendo uses some unconventional techniques to try to teach Akane to swim. Finally, Ranma and panda Genma get caught up in a mother's plight to try to get her "sickly" son to go outside.
