Argument
During a training in China, Genma and his son Ranma Saotome fall into the cursed lakes of Jusenkyo. When someone falls into a cursed lake, he takes the physical form of what has been drowned in him every time he comes in contact with cold water, and the curse is reversed when exposed to hot water. Genma fell in "The Lake of the Drowned Panda" while Ranma fell in "The Lake of the Drowned Girl".

When returning to Japan, both are going to settle down in dōjō of the old friend of Genma, Soun Tendo. Genma and Soun had agreed that their children would marry and take care of the Tendo Dojo. Soun has three teenage daughters: Kasumi, Nabiki and the temperamental Akane. The latter is named as Ranma's fiancee by her sisters, under the argument that they share age and interests. Both refuse to accept the agreement, but are generally treated as promised and end up helping each other.
