Ranma paired with a 'normal' girl?

[Dinurs]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew one or more fic where Ranma get together with a normal girl with no special powers, be it a tomboy or a lady it doesn't matter as long as she's just rather normal

[Frog]

I might be wrong about this, since it's been so long, but I seem to recall that "The Least One can Do" had Ranma ending up with a very normal OC. It's an extremely huge story and written in script style so I'm in no hurry to check. If you're curious, you can find it at

I'm sure there are various others but I cannot recall any others offhand. Sorry. I hope that was slightly helpful, at least.

Does that mean the girl can't be a martial artist of any type?

[Dinurs]

She can be a martial artist, just not one that use all those 'tricks' the Ranma cast use, if she's just a normal martial artist then that's fine, guess I should have been more clear about that, sorry.

LOCD is script for about half the story, then switches to prose for the rest.

Technically speaking, almost any Ranma/Nabiki or Ranma/Kasumi match would fit that line of requirements.

The problem with such approaches is really twofold. anyone engaged to Ranma must normally be able to survive his exploits, and also, while 'normal', must still have some appeal for both a reader and writer interest.

Here is one that was attempting to go in that direction, if you streach the definition of normal, though it stalled:

What of normal alien girls, such as Amane Calnok (sp?) Mihoshi Kurimitsu, or Kiyone Makibi from Tenchi? While aliens, they are fairly normal physically for their respective race with no real powers per se. Several Ranma/Tenchi crossovers match them up.

Likewise, Asuka from Neon Genesis. Outside her Evangelion units, there is really nothing unusual about her physically, spiritually, or in way of martial arts abilities.

I do recall coming across a Ranma one once where he left and went to California, and while there in school started dating a classmate. She was perfectly normal. I think it had some 11 chapters, but cannot remember the name.

I had a very similar topic request and so to not make an identical post I'll post it here. How about stories where Ranma is paired with a normal girl who doesn't necessarily have martial arts skills, but is normal mentally. By that I mean someone who isn't crazy and doesn't jump to conclusions. Maybe someone who can see the crazy situations Ranma gets in and realizes it's not his fault. Something along those lines. I don't mean to overshadow the original posters request, just add to it >_>.

I couldn't find reference to RanmaDate on his site. Is that right?

One thinks of "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex". Didn't Ryoga have this kind of problem with even Akane? Hugging too hard?

[Spokavriel]

Talking about the water proof soap episode where Ryouga nearly hugged Ranma-chan to death thinking she was Akane in the waterfall?

Your talking about Larry Niven's essay on Superman's psycology, right? Ah, he failed to take Kara Zor-El into account.
