Volume 17 (Pink Cover)

Melonhead: Kunou has sent yet another challenge letter to Ranma, and as Ranma waits to supposedly give Kunou another lesson in why he can't beat him, an unconscious Kunou shows up on the beach with a watermelon on his head. What's worse is that Kunou now has amnesia and can't remember anything (though he is still pursuing the "pig-tailed girl" and Akane). Ranma and Akane attempt to jog his memory with the one clue they have - watermelons - but they both may be in for a surprise when Kunou demonstrates exactly what he learned...

The Horror of Party Beach: Ranma is still trying to jog Kunou's memory, especially the memory of learning the technique that completely blew Ranma away, but nothing seems to work. In desperation, Ranma tries his girl-form on Kunou in an attempt to get him to remember, and even places a watermelon on him to simulate the way he was found. But the strategy backfires when Kunou thinks that Ranma wants to go out with him, and now the two are stuck on "Watermelon Island", a dangerous hazard of a place with absolutely no hot water for Ranma to change back!

Catcher in the Rind: Female Ranma is stuck on Watermelon Island with Kunou, and she's running out of tricks to stop his amorous advances. Meanwhile, a worried Akane heads to the island, having found out that the training there is so rigorous that many people (including Kunou) have lost their memories to the mastering of techniques involving watermelons. Ranma's running out of time, and unless she can discover how Kunou is able to slice up the watermelons, she's definitely going to be in trouble...

The Sauce of Ten Years: After a decade of waiting, Ukyou is finally able to taste the okonomiyaki sauce recipe that is supposed to age ten years. Hope rises in her - until she tastes the sauce and discovers just how bad she failed. A depressed Ukyou is unable to go to school and the Tendos graciously offer up a place in their home until she is feeling better. Ranma especially seems to be nice to Ukyou, to the suspicion of Akane, and several misunderstood encounters lead to Ranma sleeping on the roof and Akane wondering just why Ranma is being so nice to the okonomiyaki chef.

For the Love of Sauce: Ukyou is determined to punish herself for the horrible sauce she made - by eating it! But a guilty Ranma, who was the culprit behind ruining the sauce ten years ago, isn't about to let Ukyou's feelings be hurt, and even at the cost of his own stomach Ranma eats every single okonomiyaki made with the horrid sauce. Meanwhile, Akane and Ukyou try to find out why Ranma is being not only nice but self-sacrificial, and Ukyou finally remembers a childhood promise that Ranma made to "take care of her" for the rest of her life if the sauce tasted good. Unfortunately, Ranma has long since forgotten the promise, and when he finally tells Ukyou, painfully, that the sauce tastes good, he may be digging himself into an even deeper hole...

The Truth About the Truth: Ranma's in a real bind as Ukyou is totally convinced that Ranma told her the sauce was good because he truly loved her. Now Ukyou is playing the part of happy housewife, right in the Tendo household, and an angry Soun is determined to make Ranma pay for undermining his already existing engagement to Akane. Akane finally finds out the truth about the sauce from Ranma, and when they tell Ukyou the truth, she doesn't believe it! Ukyou thinks that Ranma was put up to this by a scheming Akane, and now Nabiki must step in in order to help Ranma and Akane get Ukyou out of the house. Now Ranma and Akane have to pretend to be a happy married couple, but Ukyou is dead set on staying until she finds out the real truth about Ranma, Akane, and her sauce.

The Honeymoon Period: Ranma and Akane are supposedly happily married, and the rigors of marriage are especially hard on Ranma, who now has to willingly eat Akane's cooking! Ukyou, however, is not giving up so easily, and decides to give up okonomiyaki in order to fight for Ranma as a woman. Ranma and Akane have kept up the act so far, but they're sure to be tested when Nabiki tells them that they have to spend the night in the same room as a couple. The Tendos are listening in, Ukyou is still suspicious, and now Ranma has to try and end this, one way or the other, even if it means making yet another empty promise to Ukyou to take care of her...

Please Hate Me: Ranma's plan seems flawless - get Ukyou to hate him for being a bad "husband", and therefore get her to leave the Tendo household forever. But it may not be as easy as it seems, and even treating Ukyou like he does Akane isn't going to deter Ukyou from trying to get Ranma. With Ukyou ever determined and Akane even angrier at Ranma's reluctance, the only thing that Ranma can think of to do with the vat of horrible sauce is to consume it - even if it means that his stomach practically implodes with the effort.

Nightmare on Hot Springs Street: Soun, Ranma, and Genma are on a training trip to find out about a mysterious "living octopus trap" that has been terrorizing the countryside. In fact, the "octopus trap" has been taking food, stealing underwear, and harassing women in the baths. Placing 2 and 2 together isn't all that hard for Ranma as he quickly figures out who is behind all the mischief. Despite all of Happosai's trouble, however, Soun and Genma are prepared to leave without him, and a sympathetic Ranma may try to convince them otherwise when Happosai appears to have some feelings after all...

Paper Dolls of Love: Wimpy Gosunkugi has just about given up on trying to get Akane to even notice him, and things are even worse since Ranma literally walks all over him. However, a chance encounter with a paper doll vendor may change his mind forever. The magic dolls have the ability to make the person do whatever is written on them if stuck on their back, and Gosunkugi is definitely going to use them to his advantage. Opportunities, however, are limited, and with Ranma now aware of what he's doing, he's going to have to act fast if he's going to get Akane to go out with him.

The Pill of Obedience: Ranma's insolence is about to come to an end, as Happosai finds a magic pill that causes the student to obey the master depending on which pills are taken. Happosai manages to get the sequence right so that Ranma will obey his every whim, but the catch just happens to be that the pills are highly magnetic, causing Ranma and Happosai to literally be stuck with one another. Now Ranma has to deal with all of Happosai's perversions and still get punished for them, and if he or everyone else doesn't find a way to separate them, they'll be stuck that way forever...
