Here's a bit of information I got off the ranma ML that could give some
insight into
Ranma becoming Akane when doused to get revenge in the future episodes of
'Aftermath...'

I wanted to know: is there any time Shampoo and mousse have met
Ryoga in the series or the anime comics?
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Shampoo does in tankouban #6 (the storyline where Cologne teaches
Ryoga the Bakusaitenketsu), though she's only a bit player. I don't recall
when Ryoga and Mousse met, but they certainly saw each other in
tankouban #16 (the onsen race) and know each other in tankouban #24
(the Herb storyline). Perhaps someone with a better memory can tell us
when exactly they met, or at least when they first saw each other...
Also, at what point in the manga does Akane realize Ranma could be a
lover and vice versa?
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Hard to say, really. Deep down, I think they realize very early on, but
refuse to admit it conciously until much later. However, backing up this
opinion would take longer than I feel up to now. If anyone wants I could
expand on this...
Does Ryoga ever give up on Akane in the manga?
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
In the last issue he seems to.
I have 1 comic from viz I'm happy to get: the one with the 'bathhouse
battle' and midnight serenade stories, and finally got to see most of the
major characters in just one two-story coming, I.e, happosai, nabiki,
genma, soun, akane, ryoga, and both forms of ranma...... how do you
imagine the transformation would be done?
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
You know, I can't tell what you're talking about. What transformation?
Does Akane ever really get a curse on her? I read in one story in the
manga she does..
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
No. In the manga there is a storyline where it appears she gets splashed
with water from SOD duck (like Mousse) and Ranma thinks she turned
into a duck. However, she was not actually splashed. She was
immersed in Jusenkyou water in the last storyline, however, but instead
of being cursed herself, her immersion created SOD Akane, so that
anyone falling in the pool takes Akane's form.
Also I'm satisfied the series ended with Akane and Ranma getting
married, the manga transcriptions....
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Yikes. Dont know what you read, but it didn't happen. As has been well
documented on this ML, Akane and Ranma most explicitly do _not_ get
married at the end, though they do come close...
