Ah, another one of SKJAM!'s highly innovative fanfics.

: the Chinese pair's relationship had been fixed in place at age three in

Very good! I know how hard it is to make an interesting story if
all changes are derived from that one gender change *only*, so I
stopped it after Volume 1 of _Ranko 1/2_. But with your fic here,
you have the unique possibility of having Ranma *analyze* these
changes. Way cool! I'm enjoying this tremendously.
: "One more thing before you go. Let me show you a quaint Japanese
: custom. We call it 'using the door.'"
Waaahahaha! If she "uses" the door the way she uses the walls,
Ranma will be picking splinters out of his feet for days to come.
I'm looking forward to more of this. (Part 2 should be buried in
that mountain of unread fics on my hard drive, somewhere. I'll
look ofr it right now)
