It tells the story of Ranma Saotome, a young man who has been trained in martial arts since childhood. Ranma is matched with Akane Tendo, his childhood friend who will inherit the job of managing the Tendo Dojo, the family dojo located near their home. However, Ranma has an accident and falls into a cursed spring in China called Junsekyo.
The water has magical powers that turn Ranma into a girl whenever he is exposed to cold water and he can only return to his male form if exposed to hot water. This gender-swapping comedy series features hilarious moments as Ranma tries to use his curse to solve various problems, but his efforts often end up creating new problems.
