The penultimate story arc prior to Ranma's exposure to his mother,
which takes place in vol.34, starts with a story called, uncharitably
enough, "Bust Battle".  The premise for this story is that it is 
discovered that Ranma's bust has grown larger.

Although it is possible that breasts can grow without the processes
of aging and development, *I* think that it is abundantly clear that
Ranma's cursed form does indeed age.

It is not my intention to ask people not to write using this assumption...
but I think that they should justify it somehow or otherwise write in
such a way that it is irrelevant.  WW's recent story is an excellent
example of the latter.

The other example is Pantsuto Tarou - he was born at Jyusenkyou, and
stupid Happi bathed the baby Tarou in one of the cursed pools...

You get to see Tarou as a REAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLY cute
little fuzzy baby whateverheisincursedform ...

By the way, did the manga ever show how Tarou Sr. (whatever her name is) 
reacted?  Was it panic or just "Aww, what a really cute little fuzzy baby 
whateverheisincursedform my son is!"  Just wondering.

But when you see him "now", his whateverheisincursedform is VERY much
grown up and aged!

Even if the breast thing doesn't convince people, I'd think that the
Tarou thing would ...

Good point, although aging is more about wear and tear than growth, but 
there's no reason Ranma-chan wouldn't keep aging after she finishes growing.

Kun-chan...
