I believe it was Gary Klepe who said:

And Nabby, you were wrong, and you know it. Mind you, not any wronger
than all the countless other people who've interfered in Ranma and
Akane's lives... just better at it.

Actually, I think she was right.  Other than Ranma, Ukyo has to choose
from either a boy who thinks he's a girl, or a boy who thinks he's a
mailbox, as they are the only ones in love with her.

Akane, on the other hand, has:
Ryoga, who, while my least favorite male character, is still a helluva
guy.  Kuno, who's rich, if slightly deranged.  Shinnosuke, who may have
a memory like a sieve but is still a nice guy.  Those three are
unnattached and in love with her.

What is this?  Ranmaffirmative Action?  If Ukyo deserves Ranma more than
Akane does because she has fewer suitors, then doesn't Kodachi deserve
Ranma more than Ukyo does?  After all, Ukyou has Konatsu, but Kodachi
has absolutely no one.  Plus, she's rich, if slightly deranged.
