Soun Tendou runs the Tendou Martial Arts School with his three daughters, Akane, Nabiki, and Kasumi. Their peaceful lives are disrupted when Soun reveals he has arranged for one of them to marry the son of another martial arts master to carry on the family legacy. The Tendou family is caught off guard when Ranma Saotome and his father, Genma, arrive at their doorstep. During his training in China with Genma, Ranma was involved in an accident that causes him to transform into a girl whenever he comes into contact with cold water, while Genma turns into a large panda. "Ranma ½" chronicles Ranma's efforts to adapt to this new life and his interactions with his intended fiancée, Akane, the youngest Tendou daughter. As they begin attending the same school, they face a variety of challenges and encounters with friends and competitors who all have differing views on their engagement.
