The curses work in whatever way is funniest, er makes the most sense in
the context of the story, for example...

As Ranma stepped into the Dojo, he was greeted with a bucket's worth of
water.
"What did you do that for?" Onna-Ranma wiped the water from her face.
"Y-you you're a girl!" Ryouga just barely kept his grip on his bucket.
"And what were you expecting?"
"B-but, this is heitouenniichuan water. I'm sure of it. Why aren't you
a pig?"
"Baka, the curses don't work that way. We each get the curse we deserve
and none other will affect us. Don't you think I've tried the
Nanniichuan?"
"But, what about Pansuto Tarou? He got two different curses?"
"And did he turn into an octopus? No, it just revealed more of his
inner monstrosity."
"I guess this means that you really are a sissy boy!"
"And what does that make you?"
"What! This insight... We can be cured, we just have to adjust our
inner natures. Let's go search this out together."
"I'm not interested."
"What?"
"I got a divination done. Akane will get cursed too. There's nothing
we can do about it. And guess which curse she'll get, a tomboy like
that?"
"You mean?"
"Yes, I will be a bride. It's love or fate or something. I've accepted
my lot, how about you Ryouga? There's a girl who loves pigs. Haven't
you kept her waiting long enough? She'd even give up pigs for you, but
now we know what you really are, so that's not really a choice right?"
