Summarized from the official page and press materials.

Why does Ranma turn into a girl when splashed with water?

Ranma 1/2 is a martial-arts romantic comedy by Rumiko Takahashi, first serialized in 1987. Its protagonist, Ranma Saotome, falls into a mysterious spring at the legendary training ground of Jusenkyo in China. From then on, cold water transforms him into a girl, while hot water changes him back into a boy. This unusual condition creates unexpected trouble in a story mixing romance and martial arts.

Ranma is engaged to Akane Tendo through an arrangement made by their fathers. Akane is the youngest of the three Tendo sisters, and the pair are surrounded by memorable characters. The official manga fanbook includes behind-the-scenes accounts of character creation, explanations of fighting techniques, and interviews with voice actors Kappei Yamaguchi, Megumi Hayashibara and Noriko Hidaka.

A completely new television anime adaptation premiered on October 5, 2024, on Nippon TV. Through new animation and performances, the story reached both longtime readers and newer audiences. Its central ingredients remain Ranma's training in China, his transformation and his complicated relationship with his fiancee.

Share CAFE has its own history. Originating in Kurume, Fukuoka, in 2022, it built its identity around contemporary fried-bread creations. Anique produces its concept as a cafe combining pop culture and food. The Harajuku branch also serves matcha products using tea from Hamasazen, a traditional business described as having a 160-year history. Here, familiar manga characters receive a contemporary cafe makeover. That is why their new ice-cream shop uniforms deserve attention.
