Very different. Ranma should have gotten the girl powder for Konatsu to try, or at least suggested it. Having grown up in a bordello, the kunoichi could have made enough to buy a large supply. Heh. ☺

An intriguing concept and fairly well done, for the most part. However, considering the amount of time Ranma's supposedly had his curse, I find it a little odd that he's never considered the 'positive' aspects of an 'intimate' relationship with a guy in his girl-form and focused exclusively on the negative. And no, I'm not advocating a romantic relationship for Ranma-chan with any guy, just that, at some point, it would have entered into his thinking, if only briefly before being quickly rejected. Overall, I found Ranma's reactions to what occurred well within reason, although the faulty memories, for both characters, of their night together I found to be extremely cliched (being drugged or drunk and having limited or no memories of the time during such has been grossly exaggerated in fanfiction...never suffered such sporadic memory myself, even after having drank myself unconscious once or twice). In any case, overall a good read and concept. The only 'real' problem I had was the portrayal of a few of the other characters, most notably: Akane and Shampoo. Attempting to portray Akane as a bastion of morality, albeit with an argumentive and slightly violent nature, was gross favoritism, in my opinion, as she's likely a bigger pervert than Happosai as she can rarely get her mind out of the gutter. And Shampoo as a 'slut', come on, she's free with shows of affection and has few, if any, inhibitions about nudity, but that is hardly 'slutty' behavior, especially as the only one she's ever shown such behavior toward is Ranma, whom she considers, rightly so under her culture's beliefs, to be her husband and someone to whom she is 'supposed' to be on intimate terms with. This very bias, even in canon, was always a sore point with me, as even Takahashi all but came out and stated that Shampoo's culture and beliefs weren't worth even minor consideration and were subsequently ignored by all as meaningless, although they directly affected the characterization of Shampoo. I guess it's a Japanese thing. Still, mellowing Akane out a bit and portraying Shampoo as Akane's version of the 'bimbo slut' was grating.

Seriously great job so far. No complaints at all. Wondering how things will turn out with Reoga and if Konatsu might get involved in more than girl talk which would be fine with me. Glad to see you made Akane have more restraint on her temper. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Nice stuff. I haven't seen many lemony/citrusy Ranma fics going this particular route (in fact, I haven't ever seen such a thing before now) and I got to say that it like it. It's something new, and that is pretty hard to find these days. Do keep up the good work, yeah?
