rainsometimesKuno, you're the best.
Art runs left to right as it's been flipped.
I don't have much to say about this page - I picked it simply because it made me laugh out loud yet again. From the single-chapter story "Gonna Make You Tardy!" where the Principal threatens every student to Furinkan High School to arrive even just one second late to have to scrub the toilets for a week. Having transformed involuntarily on the way to school, Ranma finds himself blocked by a glomping Kuno, who interprets the threat in his own unique fashion.
I think what really sells it is that little graceful turn of the head the pigtailed girl makes in Kuno's daydream.
But the fanciful tableau is so splendidly drawn, and so well contrasted with the real Ranma's reaction. (Also that giant "DOK!" is so good. I love well-lettered translated sound effects that really make you feel the sound on the page. I am no fan of the modern method of letting the katakana be. It's a translation, so translate!)
