is there any brave soul who wants to waste the time in
chronicling (sp?) all the kisses and near-kisses in
Ranma 1/2? Enquiring minds want to know.... ^_^

I can tell you about this, though it's not all the kisses and near
kisses...

Manga 25: At the end of the stuff with Herb, Akane throws herself into
	  Ranma's arms and hugs him because she missed him and was
	  worried and was so happy to have him back.

Manga 32: Akane gets lured by Ranma into a cupboard where he wanted
	  to seduce her into getting rid of the dougi (the outfit
	  that gives her her full potential at fighting). But he
	  changes his mind when he sees how happy she is at being
	  with him, feeling guilty about what he wanted to do. He
	  starts to tell her what he was going to do, but Soun and
	  Genma throw fake snakes and spiders at Akane, scaring her
	  so she jumps into Ranma's arms. Ranma holds her and they
	  both do the blushing thing, then go to kiss... and the
	  dougi slams the door open and that stops that!

Manga 32: At the end, Ranma catches Akane, destroying the dougi in
	  the process, but they land on a park bench, Akane in Ranma's
	  lap. Akane asks to stay like this for a while, and Ranma
	  wants to, too.

Manga 34: Akane drags Ranma into a room, trying to warn him that his
	  mother is in the house. She sees Nodoka's sleeve sticking
	  out from the cupboard door and realises that she's in there.
	  She jumps up and turns off the light, then moves to him and
	  puts her hand over his mouth and then makes 'shh'ing sounds.
	  Ranma, of course, thinks that she's taken him there, to a
	  secluded room, with the lights off for another reason. He
	  blushingly takes her in his arms... they both do the blushing
	  thing and Ranma bends down to kiss her... then Akane screams
	  out in warning because Nodoka's there behind him, her sword
	  draws. And that ends that almost-kiss!

Manga 34: Later on, Nodoka wants Ranma to peek on Akane in the bath to
	  proves that he isn't a hentai(!) ... He eventually ends up in
	  the bathroom, and is too gentlemanly too look, but Akane gets
	  out of the bath and forces him to look at her... But she's in
	  a set of bathers! Ranma, of course, is rather deflated by that.
	  (Nothing even remotely like a kiss, but I thought it was funny)

Manga 34: In another part, Akane dreams that she's a princess and Ranma
	  is the prince that comes to save her. In her dream, he tries
	  to make her his ('Princess, I can't help myself any more' or
	  words to that affect). As she sleeps, she punches the awake
	  Ranma, who happened to be standing next to her, away saying
	  something to the affect that he's too eager. But the look on her
	  face is the look of a girl who wants that to happen but had to
	  play hard to get, and not wanting him to stop. ^_^

And read all of that last part in the ending manga where Ranma's holding
Akane, who he thinks is dead. That's so sweet... ^_^

Kun-chan...
