I just love the sheer number of fanfic cliches in this.

Let's see...

1. Nodoka is determined to force "Ranko" to be a proper young woman.

2. Nodoka lives in Juuban.

3. Nodoka is independently wealthy.

4. Ranma gets drugged.

5. Ranma feels pretty, oh so pretty.

6. Sailor Pluto is fucking people over for selfish reasons.

7. Some Mysterious Entity of Chaos and Plot Contrivance has designs on
Ranma.

8. Ran Can Cook...Like Kasumi!

9. Boy-Crazy Girl Type

10. "Ranko" Forgets That She's Ranma

11. Mysterious Entities of Chaos and Plot Contrivance turn out to be Known
Mythological Figures.

12. Ranma Becomes A Sailor Senshi.


There's not a single thing in this story that hasn't been (a) done before,
and (b) done a lot better.

That having been said, cliche as this is, there MAY be potential, depending
on where the next chapter goes. It's not by far the worst Ranma/SM crossover
around, but it is rather heavily laden with cliches, which is probably its
major downside.
