Hmm....Having never read the manga, I was lost for about the first
half. You might consider a flashback style introduction in any later
versions in order to tell the reader exactly whats happening. Of couse,
maybe the confusion in part of the stories feel.
Aside from that, I loved it. (After skipping to the end, I went back
and read the thing from the beginning. Excellent description of the
character's emotions, that kind of thing is something that many writers,
myself included, have a hard time using effectively. The emotions, and
the actions that were the result, were the most appealing part of the
story to me.
I was going to comment about the killing being out of character for
Ranma, but people seem to have beaten me to the punch. Besides, after
thinking about it, I realised that the Ranma in the story isn't the same
one we know. Poor guy.
