when ranma fight kuno early on when akane still had long hair, you
remember when he rolled away in the anime and told akane about her

Did that happen in the manga?

Yes, as near as I recall. Kunou sent Ranma flying, Ranma rolled backwards
until he was resting on his head at Akane's feet . . . except I forget
whether Ranma said they were polka-dotted in the Viz manga, or whether
they were something else that 'didn't suit' Akane.
