![]() ![]() ![]() Although the first eight chapters felt awkward and forced, it got very good once Ranma and Akane started at St. Hebereke's. What I loved most was how married to the canon the plot was, as you managed to reintroduce characters from the manga that never appeared in the anime in very similar ways, something that I consider to be the mark of a great fanfic writer. All of your OCs felt unique and interesting, especially Miyuki. It was also amazing how you suggested that Rannas poor grades were the result of being nearsighted. Genius. Overall, you had a great setup going, despite a few missteps along the way (mainly Nodoka's contradictory rules and logic). That being said, I see why you never finished this. By the time you stopped, you had only gotten through 1/6 of the total plot. If you really spent a decade working on this, it would've taken you another 50 years to finish it. Also, the last few chapters jump the shark and make it feel like a completely different story with the introduction of the real magical girl plotlines. Its okay to dream big, but it honestly belongs in a sepeate tale. So in the end, I recommend roughly 2/3 of this story as being very good. id hoped that it would be closer to being done, but I will settle for what we got. |
![]() ![]() Vivement la suite ! Cette histoire part en n'importe quoi, mais un n'importe quoi drôle et intéressant, j'ai hâte de lire la fin ! |
![]() ![]() well gave it a try but I hate it. Have issues with original ranma as well tho. How he's just going along with all this nonsense all around instead his foot down. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Also I gotta say this about some of the other reviewers. In this fic y’all get that Ranma’s likely a flavor of trans right? It’s very obvious. Quite literally, Nabiki’s entire plan is to break Ranma’s egg and it was very obvious from the start. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I hope you finish this one day |
![]() ![]() Great story! Any chance to publish - even not finished - next chapters? I don't care about holes in narrative. Thank you for sharing with us such a great fic! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Its funny. Its simultaneously difficult and entertaining for me to read this story, and others like it with an understanding of gender dysphoria and how it works. A cis man, placed into a female body would experience gender dysphoria just like any trans person, along with the risk of depression, anxiety, self harm and suicide. Ranmas constant reiteration of "Im a guy, damnit" highlights this. The insistance of living as a girl until you come to terms with it is both realist and irrational (and very wrong). Being a magical curse it IS something that Ranma, for his own sake should try to come to terms with, however it is analogous to gender conversion therapy. If Ranma were able to just "come to terms with it" that would make Ranma's (and any persons) gender identity a choice. And gender identity is not a choice. The misgendering is abusive (but very realistic in many family situations, especially with older more conservative parents). Ive really enjoyed what I've read so far, despite the subtext, and am aware that the story is not designed to be an investigation of gender identity, but In don't think I can read any more for my own sake. |
![]() ![]() If Ragamuffin’s yarn ball can take them to any world maybe they end up in the world of Sailor Moon, Wedding Peach, Magical DoReMi, Tokyo Mew Mew etc & if you need suggestions for future chapters how about Anything Goes return their new rivals & the newly female Goku & his gang attack Anything Goes beat their asses & the Yakuza girl tells Goku he er she “I warned you now you & your gang pay” Ranma grants wish maybe to Kasumi Ranma just barely beats Nabiki on Exams but not grades I really hope you update soon Then after maybe 5 chaps or so Ranma beats Nabiki but Nabiki assays “I bet you can’t get into college” Ranma becomes Male but between magic girl & genie powers now can change at will |
![]() ![]() ![]() While I still enjoy this story I have one complaint & it’s very minor Yes by the time Ranma becomes a magical girl he’s been female for months and has excepted it however I would think she would flat out refuse & only after her friend/team mates were in trouble accept it not I never wanted to be a magic girl Well you made yourself into one No that was Miyuki but ok I accept Still a good story hope you update or finish it soon as it needs an ending |
![]() ![]() ![]() Overall? I'd say this has been a really fun fic. I kinda wish Nodoka was more on board and understanding of Ranma's magic girl stuff, but there is a lot going on and that can be a thing for later if this ever gets picked up again (just because it's been over four years since the last update doesn't mean the fic is absolutely dead... just effectively so for now. _; I believe it was chapter 28 that was a major issue for me. For a regular Ranma adventure it's not too out of left field, but with how Ranma changes and grows (more or less) in this fic to that point, it feels like a massive set back with no pay off or value. There is a very clear lesson Ranma should be learning right there (don't take Happy at his word and just kick the dingus to the curb. Ranma doesn't -need- his permission at all to teach) and even when he finally kinda gets it, he STILL seeks Happy's approval. it reeks strongly of 'Reversal Jewel', where the story itself isn't the issue, but the story in context with the rest of the plot feels wrong. (reversal jewel actively takes ranma from 'stuck in a mess created by others' to 'is making his own damn mess and we really shouldn't feel sorry for him'. It's especially not a great chapter to have when trying to write more 'fix the engagements' or alternate ship fics) That one chapter aside though? This has been a ton of fun and I could see lots of potential in it. I'm willing to bet the two Thug boys aren't going to get off that easy about being Magical Girls vs Magical Boys... already sent you a pm about Fatimia... anyhoo, hope this review finds you well. X3 |

![]() ![]() ![]() This is by far the most hated chapter in my life! I had never read a chapter and I joined in indignation! Because shit Ranma was willing to stoop to such a level! Because to make your character grow as a person and then corrupt him up to those levels! It really disgusts me! The only reason why I force myself to continue reading is because of the time travel that gives me a little bit of hope for Ranma to expiate in the future ... |
![]() ![]() ![]() Oh boy, and the fun begins! |
![]() ![]() ![]() This is some heavy stuff! |
![]() ![]() So it's been 3 years, any chance of those extra written chapters you've teased about on your profile? Pretty please? |
