Akane would *not* be able to marry a woman.  Your points above, about
changing sexual preferences, apply to Akane.  She just wouldn't be able
to do it, I think, and their relationship would change.

Perhaps not, but in this story, it seems like Akane callously dumped
Ranma as soon as he came back without getting the cure. She didn't seem
to bother to hang around to see if there was another cure, or anything.
And how could she do that to someone she loved?

And, you don't actually know Akane's preferences - she hated guys and
liked girls ... although that's not a preference, really, it sort of
makes you wonder if she could be a little both ways ... especially since
she fell in love with Ranma *after* she knew he was a guy-girl. If he
was just a guy, do you think that Akane would have falled in love with
Ranma?

I can't say that Akane's gay or bi ... but she does love Ranma.

And in this story, Akane was just way too callous ... (So was Genma,
but that's another story.)

She may not be physically attracted to Ranma any more (which is a little
bit of a streach since she fell in love with *both* parts of Ranma, not
just his male side), but she'd still be in love with him ...

And when Akane's in love, she will NOT let go...

I think that she and Ranma would have travelled around together for
years, searching for a cure ... none of this giving up and dumping
business...

That's what I think is OOC - the lack of love and care that you gave to
Akane ... And Ranma's giving up ... that's not Ranma. *shrug*

Kun-chan...
