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".
