A few comments/observations:

Not that I have anything against Nabiki, but I really can't see Ranma
letting her off the hook after she sold him out, not to mention what she
forced Yuka to 'confess'.  Might even expect her to be his primary target,
and the one he kisses on the cheek before running out the first morning.  Of
course, she, being one of the brighter cookies around, is probably going to
be one of the first to make the connection, and would probably be spending
the day in a state of paranoia of what's going to happen to her, given the
gradual increase in 'events' that Ranma would be generating (unfortunately,
being too smart can work against you, too ;)

Well, you said that you'd probably drop the UY anyway, but in any case, I'd
think Ranma would follow Happosai's lead in the lechery department, just
without the panty fetish.  The various glomping techniques, though, I think
are more than enough to keep him going.

One thing that kinda bugged me was him kissing Kodachi.  It always seemed
that to Ranma, kissing was sort of representative of a higher level of
relationship with <insert fiancee name here>, and I have a hard time seeing
him using that as a casual tactic.  Of course, that could just be me, and he
_is_ attempting a complete behavioral change.

If Shampoo gets involved, I'd expect her to assume that it's a curse/potion
of some sort (after all, that's what she always uses, someone else may as
well), and may very well drag Cologne into the situation to come up with a
cure (of course, death tends to cure a lot of illnesses).  In any case, she
has enough tendancies to clobber his other real fiancees that she'd likely
go ballistic and send anyone he touched to the hospital.

For Akane, this of course confirms all her worst fears.  Ranma would have to
have some airtight explanation, and a -lot- of time to explain it to her, if
you don't want her to be permanently scarred by it all.

As for Ukyo... she would have been at the mock trial, and I think it
wouldn't take her long to put 2 and 2 together.  While I can't really say
how she'd react, for some reason I feel that she'd be the one most likely to
play along and help Ranma pull this off.



Anyway, all IMHO.
