   Shampoo gives up Ranma of her own free will?!?!?!?!

(Mike looks around, expecting the world to end. When it fails to, he 
continues..)

   Well, you're covering new ground. Personally, I found Shampoo to be 
about the least likeable character in the series, including Kodachi, who 
at least had style. I think a part of that was Shamp's openly purposeless 
Ranma-chasing. She really didn't have much personality because of it.
   Hopefully, Awakenings will give us a look at a shampoo with more to 
her life than getting Ranma and getting rid of the competition. I found 
it rather fitting that Ukyo, who seems to be the sanest person in the 
show, should be the one to influence her. So far, the writing seems 
focused and quality....grammar suffered a bit, but since when has good 
grammar meant a good storyteller?
   Hope to see the next bit soon. :-)
