Indeedy.  With all the gender bending in the original series, it
seemed logical.  Well, *kinda* logical.

That surprises me a bit.  I was not very confident about that
part.  I wanted to poke some fun at that "Girls fawning over
Ranma" cliche (which is, I think, more a *fanfic* cliche, that
from the real series), by having Akane get some fanatic followers
as a boy.  I didn't think it worked as well, as I had wanted - I
had more ideas than fit into the part, but not enough to make it a
two-parter.

As for Yoko, Mikari and Akiko appearing again... I've thought of
that, myself, but haven't come up with a plot, yet.  They'll be on
the _Ranko 1/2_ Blooper Tape for sure.
