I never got the chance to see the ending of the Ranma1/2 series...
would anyone be so kind as to tell me what happened? Did they get 
married? did they ever kiss? please someone inform me!

I pulled the scans of the very last part from the Ranma image archive and 
reworked them, so that you can finally *see* something on them.  Then I 
took the summary that's on the FAQ pages and inserted thumbnails of the 
pages at the appropriate places, with links to the full-scale graphics.

The result is on my homepages at:

It is a truly lovely ending that I prefer *absolutely* over marrying them 
off.  Marriage was fine for _Maison Ikkoku_, but _Ranma 1/2_ couldn't end 
that way.  Fortunately Takahashi-san realized that and gave us this 
wonderful closing.

It's an outlook on the future without really shutting everything down and 
putting the players back in their box, in a manner of speaking.  The 
very best endings are those that don't tell you "It's over now", but 
those that tell you "These characters live on".
