The official synopsis from MAPPA reads:
As a dedicated gamer, I can’t help but be intrigued by the captivating story of Ranma Saotome and Akane Tendo from the Tendo Dojo. Their parents have made an arrangement for them to be married, which is quite common in their world. But here’s where things get interesting from a gamer’s perspective: Ranma finds himself grappling with an extraordinary predicament. You see, he has the uncanny ability to transform into various forms when splashed with cold or hot water. This unpredictable power adds an exciting layer of complexity to their budding relationship, making their journey towards love a true rollercoaster ride!
Since his training in China led him to accidentally fall into the enchanted springs of Jusenkyo, his unique ability emerged: he turns into a girl upon contact with cold water and transforms back into a boy with warm water.
Prepare yourself for the hilarious, fast-paced romantic comedy filled with physical humor and an ensemble of distinctly charming characters, headlined by Ranma and Akane.
