Hi, all!
We all know about numerous 'fannon facts' about certain characters'
behavior in the Ranma 1/2 manga. Nabiki in particular is subject to
considerable misuse.
However, I was doing a bit of research when a particular subject was
raised, and from the volumes that I have checked to date I have been rather
surprised at the negative results.
Using the manga as a reference and completely ignoring the anime, is there
any instance in which Nabiki tries to charge someone for information or
rumors? I can't find any evidence of that to date.
Admittedly, Nabiki runs a bookie operation at school and quite readily
charges for *things* - pictures, objects, Ranma's time, etc. What I'm *not*
finding is any evidence in the manga that she runs any sort of information
scamming service.
References used: Viz English graphic novels, volumes 1 - 23
New Ranma Project English Fanscans, volumes 26 - 38
Viz volume 24 is identical to the Japanese volume 26, so there is no actual
gap in the above list.
If someone knows of a *single* instance of Nabiki charging for information
in the manga, please email me with the volume & page number. Please don't
forget to note which version you're referencing (Viz/NRP).
TIA!!
