A great read, by the way.

Author's Notes:

1) Canonically speaking, Genma does make a few statements in
the manga indicating that Ranma is his true son.
Specifically, his claim in the Dragon Whisker story that
Ranma will inherit his baldness. All I can plead is artistic
license.

Um, I thought baldness was inheireted from the mothers father? It's affected
by the fathers line, but the majority is from the mother's father.

I'm not looking forward to the next five years, myself. Allthough, I'm not
as bad off as my brothers.

2) Hiwai Oushi means 'obscene bull'.

3) Yami-no-tsume means 'claw of darkness'.

4) Jakuten means 'weak point' or 'weakness'.

Perhaps you are going to explore why Nodoka was so intent on honor, while
she is basically 'tainted' by her own actions? There was point in the manga
when she was about to force Ranma to commit sepiku, and Ranma took off.
Luckily, he later proved that he was 'manly' and dodged that bullet.

I just thought I would ask.
