Many years ago, Genma promised his old friend Soun Tendo that Ranma would marry one of Soun's three daughters and continue studying the family's martial arts. However, the girl chosen to be Ranma's bride doesn't like him much. In addition, the story also has a strange element: Ranma can transform into a girl after being doused with cold water.
