Going to storytime the manga in conjunction with the new anime season so anons can compare and contrast, or experience the story in multiple different ways simultaneously.

Today: chapter 63-69

Weekly Shonen Sunday #48, 1988

Happosai, my man!

Weekly Shonen Sunday #49, 1988

Weekly Shonen Sunday #8, 1989

(Ranma went on a two and a half month break from early November 1988 to late January 1989)

>>283639619
How was Nabiki able to get up that wall?

Last thread dropped before anyone answered. What was the series in bottom right? "Merry-go-round" is all I can make out of the text.

Weekly Shonen Sunday #9, 1989

>>283640012
Pigboy fondling Akane's ass with his trotters.

>>283639894
"Merry-go-round e", a one-shot by Kazuhiro Fujita about a karateka who meets a terminally ill girl who wants to go to a merry-go-round before she dies.

>>283638738
I know it was cut for time, but I wish we got to see the awaken again gag.

>>283639329
Yeah, all this just got trimmed for time.

>>283640308
Turns out that stuffing 7 chapters of content into one episode isn't the best idea.

Weekly Shonen Sunday #10, 1989

Ranma is getting an anime adaptation!

>>283640405
Ranma animated? I can't imagine what that would be like.

>>283640097
Thanks, anon. Gotta file that away for cry days.

Weekly Shonen Sunday #11, 1989

>>283640737
Jesus, the remake cut basically the entire chapter.

>>283640932
Man, so much stuff got cut in the remake.

Weekly Shonen Sunday #12, 1989

To be continued.

>>283638640
>>283639136
>>283641055
Ucchare Goshogawara by Tsuyoshi Nakaima, not scanlated

>>283639550
>>283640405
Ranma, obviously

>>283639989
Yaiba

>>283640751
Free Kick by Hidenori Hara, not scanlated

>>283641473
I feel like I should check out Ucchare Goshogawara some time, it's clearly one of the bigger series in the magazine.

>>283639572
So the remake skipped chapter 65. A shame they didn't adapt it. Perhaps in a future episode but I won't keep my hopes up.

>>283640768
I'm glad they kept the tea and meatbuns scene but yeah, I'm more sad about this chapter being cut than the bathhouse stuff. It is Happosai at his most childish, which I feel is key.

>>283641671
It skipped all of 65, almost all of 67 and sizable chunks of 64 and 68. Clearly the goal was to stuff all this Happosai material into a single episode to get it over with, there's no chance of them going back to it later.

>>283640097
>A story about a girl who tries her best to live life and a boy who feels empty inside.
>Aiga Heikichi, a member of the Asahito High School karate club, is a master karate practitioner nicknamed "Iron Aiga," but he quit karate after breaking up with his girlfriend. One day, he meets a girl named Kunimi Aya, who keeps wanting to go to the merry-go-round. She's been hospitalized for a long time, but she sneaks out because she wants to see a real merry-go-round.
>Heikichi reluctantly agrees to accompany Aya, but then Aya's brother, who works for the police, shows up. It turns out that Aya has an incurable disease and doesn't have much time left. Aya wanted to do something of her own volition before she dies...
>After hearing the story, Heikichi and Aya charge ahead. He's been empty since he quit karate, and now he's trying his best... Meanwhile, a detective is pursuing Aya, leading a flock of patrol cars in an attempt to bring her back. Will the two make it to the merry-go-round? How will this escape play out?

This sounds pretty good, I need to check this out.

>>283641603
It won the 35th Shogakukan Manga Award for Shonen in 1989 and has ranked on quite a few "best manga of all time" lists in Japan.

>>283641473
Both Ranma and Yaiba feel a bit out of place with all these sports series.

>>283642982
Shonen Sunday isn't all sports, they have Kamen Rider Black and Patlabor running at this point for instance.

>>283641798
>>283640097
Couldn't find it at first. Turned out to be in an anthology. Author of Ushio and Tora too. Finished reading. Very sweet. Hidden treasure.

>>283643272
Link?

>>283643296
Songs of the night on Mdex.

>>283643468
Oh, didn't expect it to be scanlated. Thanks.

>>283640097
>>283641798
>>283643468
Fuck, man...

>>283643771
Was good, right? Was laughing my ass off at the manager and taxi driver(who was seen being carted to hospital shortly before her brother ran him down on his way out), and then she hits you with her sincerity.

>>283639182
>slight nipple hardening
oh she likes it

>>283644023
She just got hit with chilly water, you old prune.

>>283643885
Yeah, it was good, but I wish we got an answer to whether Aya made it or not. The medicine had to be administered fast and the journey to the amusement park clearly did a number on her body, so the brother was racing against time, but the story just ended without giving us an answer.

>>283644125
I like and hate the open-endedness of it. You're left to your own assumption. Like maybe she wasn't going to make it regardless, so at least she got to fulfill her final wish, or she could have made it, if she'd stayed put, and gotten cured.

>>283641346
Holy shit they cut a lot in the anime.

>>283645475
Yeah, it was a mess of an episode.

>>283646271
I thought this anime adaptation was supposed to be close to the manga?

>>283647279
Closer in the sense of not making their own shit up, at least. Adjusting to fit modern censorship is unavoidable if they wanted broadcast.

>>283648533
>>283649579
This guy really likes Ranma.

>>283649948
A lot of threads have been getting bumped like that in the last few hours, either someone forgot to take his meds or they set up a spambot to bump certain threads

>>283641346
Is the anime continuing with chapter 70 after this?

>>283640405
Kind of unique cover in that it focuses on Ranma getting an anime while shuffling the announcement of the new series Spriggan starting this issue up into the top right corner there. New series usually get to be the focus of the cover.

>>283640341
>>283640312
Ranma and Ryoga tag-teaming Happosai for that brief moment always makes me smile, I'm not sure why exactly.

>>283640341
Dumbass. Never turn your back on the old man.

>>283641671
Of course they'd skip the fanservice chapter.

>>283651358
As if anyone would just know

>>283640012
>>283639741
Akane feet

>>283651569
They skipped a shitload of material from this batch, fucking terrible episode >>283641746

>>283650878
Yeah, the next episode will adapt the arc that starts in chapter 70.

>>283651662
Pretty obvious they don't like Happosai and only did these chapters because he's too essential to the franchise to skip.

>>283650060
My bet is on the former knowing /a/.

>>283651862
Happy did nothing wrong.

>>283653567
It was probably someone bumping threads in order to push some other thread off the catalog.

>>283650981
Bros working together is always nice.

>>283638669
I wonder if the remake's smelly-awesome battle aura was based on this cover

>>283656133
Same, anons. It's the bro version of a tsundere going dere.

>>283643771
Little girls should not talk like this.

>>283638768
>cracks the family altar from miles away
Wait, so Happosai really is a demon?

>>283657860
It's just a general bad omen trope.

>>283655168
Imagine the dedication.

>>283640405
If only I had a time machine

time machine...

Thanks for the storytimes, OP. By the way, have you thought of doing them in the episode threads? Might be easier to keep one thread going than two.

>>283660369
>By the way, have you thought of doing them in the episode threads? Might be easier to keep one thread going than two.

Doing a storytime in a thread where people are busy discussing the episode, posting images etc just makes the thread too cluttered and the storytime too hard to follow. I make sure to link these threads in the episode ones though.

This is the most rewritten episode yet, right?

>>283661377
I'm not done with it yet (taking my time to compare scenes) but it seems more cut than rewritten. That is, scenes are removed but what's left is mostly-faithful.

>>283651569
To be fair that episode is pretty much self-contained and doesn't really have plot impact
Not defending rushed adaptation though

>>283662004
This entire Happosai arc is split up into four pretty self contained chunks ("63-64", "65", "66" and "67-69"), the original anime adapted them separately in a different order and with other arcs inbetween.

How come Happosai can recognize Panda!Genma instantly >>283638966 but has no clue who Ryoga is >>283640312 after having met P-chan?

>>283662218
>Happosai arc includes 66 and ends on 69

Ukyo /ss/

>>283663995
The remake will fuck up her too, won't it?

>>283665923
Her and everything else.

>>283665923
Tbdesu the remake could be a lot worse but Ukyo deserves the best

>>283640143

>P-chan is pointed elsewhere, not clear if he even realizes Akane is undressing
>>283664742
>remake
>P-chan is blushing as he turns his face away shyly

Hahaha they really are shipping pigkane

>>283638816
It's always a surprise to remember that the Little Creep looked much older in its first appearances

>>283668480
Given his reaction during the Japanese Spring arc, we basically know he looks away when she's undressing normally.

>>283661377
Nah, ice skating had more rewrites.

>>283669045
I honestly think his original design was better. His later design is too cartoony.

>>283668480
>Hahaha they really are shipping pigkane

Based desu. Ryokane shippers are the most oppressed after the Randachifags

>>283663083
He knows Genma's mannerisms after being his teacher for a long time. He doesn't know shit about Ryoga

>>283669202
Was thinking of the pig specifically, but now that you mention it, human Ryoga is getting his shoujo romance heart indulged too.

>>283669202
>most oppressed after the Randachifags
Cutting the entire cookie arc, fuck
For what purpose

>>283668480
Ryoga is just as disgusting as Happosai.
Just because he's a retard doesn't change the fact that he openly wants to hump his pig's penis on Akane's tits

>>283639515
Akane not letting Ranma look too much lol

>>283641671
Anon....

>>283641746
Yeah, I thought they were going to give him two episodes but they did us a favor.

>>283639769
disgusting old creep

>>283639909
team work

>>283639959
there was no way this chapter was going to be included in the new adaptation, but oh well, not much was lost.

>>283640267
>>283640286
Two of my favorite pages

>>283670835

>>283640308
To be frank, these pages were quite monotonous

>>283640380
She is a heavy sleeper.

>>283640405
I hope it doesn't mischaracterize its characters!

>>283640648
Hinako prototype on the bottom page

>>283640721
Huh, I didn't remember that in the manga Nabiki and Kasumi ask Ranma to leave.

>>283640737
Akane my love.... Ranma is so lucky

>>283640897
Sipping tea on the rooftop, Rumiko is truly a genius when she puts her mind to it.

Gemma and Soun doing the right thing.

Ranma protecting Akane

>>283641293
>>283641311
The manga sells the joke that he can't escape because of the armor better.

>>283641328
Two pages!

>>283641346
It's hilarious how she can sell you the idea of an epic battle, only to reverse everything and end the story with three panels. Rumiko is truly a genius.

>>283670882

Based. And it is just as satisfying.
