I never got far enough to see Akari (?) in the manga. Was she nice?

Very nice, in a not terribly colourful but somewhat loopy way. Some feel she's rather saccharine, and I don't think we've seen a lot of depth there, but I still found myself liking her when she eventually turned up. Basically, she's very feminine, rather shy and timid, not very assertive, head-over-heels in love with Ryoga, thinks pigs are the best thing on Earth (but she fell in love with him before finding out about his curse, though when she learned it he was the Only Man Possible in her eyes). She seems to have no clue about Ryoga's feelings for Akane and indeed has made good friends of both Ranma and Akane (but she doesn't seem the type to get crazy with jealousy if she were to learn about Ryoga's feelings, either). She doesn't seem to know about the P-chan situation either, though that's not certain. Also, she looks a lot like Kagome did at the start of the Inu-Yasha manga. Maybe they're cousins. ;)

I'm not sure if they're right for each other in the long haul or not, but I do think both are likely to give the relationship a damn good try, so they wouldn't break up that easily. I also think that since Ryoga is one of Takahashi's favourite characters she wouldn't saddle him with a girlfriend that would be really bad for him. So I see it as, even if they break up sometime, the relationship is more likely to be a good than a bad thing for Ryoga. (Sorry to ramble on so!)

I... omg. I love threesomes. How is it that that one never occured to me?!? <33

I wrote a couple of scenes of this back in the day, shown to practically no-one even though they're not smutty. Quite disjointed and rather angsty even though they moved towards a reasonably happy, ménage-à-trois solution. I kinda doubt that Ranma and Ryoga are really attracted towards one another in canon, though, so I had to think of it as just slightly AU to justify myself. ^_^

Like in One Piece, I know the crew is the crew is the crew, and I love 'em all, but there's this part of me that says the real crew is the first five.

(nods) I can't help but feel that way, too. And then Chopper to me may be just slightly more crew than Robin, because he was part of the Alabasta team, when she was on the other side... and the Skypiea Seven also seem a bit more "real crew" to me than the current nine. I'm sure the Seven all love one another, but I'm doubtful whether they all love Franky and Brook. Feel a lot of affection, trust and respect for, yes. Love, yes for some of them, but perhaps not all.
