Actually, Ranma has a possible way to get out of one or another
situation. Have Ranma say that if Ryouga takes revenge, she will no
longer be his fiancee, and deteriorate the situation from there, while
still keeping them friends.
Sleep did not come immediately. I, this body, was in love with
Ryouga. She could not quite get her mind around it. She tried to
imagine herself kissing Ryouga, touching his unclad body. Nothing but
repulsion. Ranma even tried recalling his feelings during the fishing
rod incident back in the real world. Still just the faint nausea he
normally felt when remembering it.
Could you distinguish which are the thoughts from the rest of the writing
somehow? It's hard to read otherwise.
And the other major option wasn't really all that appealing
either. Ranma had been raised to think of lesbianism as just as
unnatural as male homosexuality, and while she could probably overcome
that conditioning, her choice of partners would be relatively limited.
She didn't think Akane, for all her protestations of hating boys, would
really be interested. No question, she had to get back to the real world
or his real body, and soon. Akane...I want Akane...
How would Ranma be raised this way?
In Japan, homosexuality is fully accepted, for both sexes, and young
children are told that it doesn't matter if they are heterosexual or
homosexual.
