      I have to say that I like this idea and the kids you've created,
although I am growing suspicious about young Kuonji's parentage.

A little suspicion seems justified to me, particularly as it is strongly
implied that Ukyou never married.  The main mystery remaining about young
Kuonji is his<?> gender, but in part 3 he does seem to refer to himself
as a male...

        Kuonji Seki'd parantage will be explained to a certain extent will
be explained in chapter 4.  You people are so paranoid... but are you
paranoid enough?

Curious as to why Ukyou choose now to come back.

        Mostly as convenient timing, but she wanted Seki to start school on
a quarter/semester/trimester just like Mousse and Spice.  More of her
reasonings will be explained in chapter 4.  It's a mostly Ukyou chapter.

      As for the bomb you dropped in part 2, I hope to see the answers
to two questions:
1) Did Ranma cooperate?
2) And if so, why?

Given that Spice, Megumi and Seki all seem about the same age, it would
be interesting to see what their exact ages are (and how much time
is between them).  A tight grouping could indicate a overly sucessful
potion (or something similar) while a wider spread would indicate that
Ranma is not as pure as he usually acts...

        They're all relatively similar in age, but most of that won't be
explained for a few chapters.  As for Ranma's purity... that's going to be
a toss up... but all circumstances will be explained.

And Ranma + Akane seem to have only one child... one would have expected
more somehow.  Ah well.

        I've been debating the addition of a second and/or third child for
Ranma/Akane and Ryouga/Akari.  Unfortunately all the kids so far have a 16
year cap and actually I would have prefered them to all be 17 to leave me
more leeway.  If I go back and add a year to everyone it should be fine,
but will make chapters 1-3 wrong again.. oh well, I might as well do it now
before getting too far into the series.
