Hope this doesn't go out twice...

up.  Ryouga should get Akari, not Ukyou.  I know someone already said this,
but 

I know that,, but...

there is yet any indiction from Ranma 1/2 that shows they even like each

other. 

It's just that when we have the couple together, we always get
Uyko/Ryoga..(Tunnel of Unlove, Movie 2)

But these are all anime episodes...that's probably why you don't accept
Akari, because she isn't in the anime.  The *only* manga with U/R coupled
(so to speak) is Vol. 27, and they spend the whole time bitching at each 
othet...not even bitching in an Akane/Ranma way.

Personally, I gave up on the Ranma Anime after Ep. 4...seeing Kuno with
those hand puppets made me bash my head against the wall...I have yet to
do that with any of the manga.  I'm concentrating my finances on AMG
now.

Just because 99 out of 100 Ranma fanfic author writes story about Ryouga 
marrying Ukyou doesn't mean it is true.  Ukyou may go with Konatsu or she
may be 
single for the rest of her life.  It's your call.  Ukyou will not suit 

Ryouga. 

Ok...it';s jsut I've never seen Akari....

Well...the translation of Vol. 30 is on the Hacks FTP site...trust me,
she's cute...and perfect for Ryouga...set up well in the way that
Konatsu was not (which is why I think Ukyou should get out more...
everyone else in the series is pathetic...)

Akari is patient and will accept whatever problem Ryouga has.

"Hi honey I'm home! Sorry it took me 4 days to get home from work..."
"That's Ok, you dinner is ready..."

Actually, this is *precisely* what I see...unless you're one of the authors
who ties in Ryouga's depression with his direction.  Well written...you
should try a Ryouga/Akari fanfic. :-)
