It's snowing again.

That was close.

Thank you very much.

- You aren't hurt? - No.

Good. You almost lost your dinner there.

It looks about 68 grams. Beautiful luster.

It's a fine egg.

Is it oden stew tonight? Or savory custard?

Uh. . .

Take care, now.

It snowed! It's sticking!

As excited as a dog. . .! What an idiot!

- Heh! Serves you right. - Ranma--!

Kasumi!

Sis! Have you been shopping?

Didja see that guy? He was weird!

Kasumi!

Eggs. . .!

Huh?

I'm home.

Akane and Ranma are with you?

We ran into each other outside.

I must get dinner ready.

Just wait. I'll fix something good.

What's with her?

Eggs?!

Right. He caught 12 eggs right out of the air.

Wow.

I can do that, too.

Try it, then.

Okay, I will!

Still. . .

you say Kasumi was unusually happy after bumping into him?

She hasn't stopped smiling.

It seems the man said the egg she bought was a "fine egg."

The world takes on a golden glow.

Kimono-clad man with bamboo umbrella.

A man of few words, disappearing into the snow.

No mistake about it.

- She's in love! - It can't be!

It's a possibility, I say.

But Kasumi already has--!

Dr. Tofu never speaks his mind!

Kasumi just might change her mind.

She wouldn't--!

Really? You're awful!

Charm for Safe Childbirth

Can't forget her?

Hey, you had no call to do that!

Why d'ya hafta hang out over the wall?!

Don't grow sideways. Grow straight up toward the sun!

Who did that?!

Get 'im, Sukeroku!

Here, here!

D'ya think I'm scared of a small dog like this?!

Excuse me! Pardon!

You're supposed to be man's best friend!

Some friend!

Pardon! Pardon!

Dogs don't scare me!

Dogs ain't much, after all.

C'mon! I'm a man. Chew me up.

Do what you want to me!

I'm coming! Just a minute.

Who are--?

What's wrong? S-Sir--!

Sukeroku did this. . .!

I'm going over to Dr. Tofu's for a while.

Do you have to see him for something?

I must return this book I borrowed.

See?! She does love Dr. Tofu, after all.

You're naive.

Why?

Kasumi's girlish heart doesn't know which way to turn.

That's why she wants to see Dr. Tofu.

To see if she truly loves him.

Is that how it is?

Right. That's how women are.

- Kasumi! I'll go with you! - Really?

What were you girls whispering about? Did something happen?

It sure did.

What?!

K-Kasumi fell in love at first sight?!

Is that true, Nabiki?

It could very well be. That's all.

I won't have it! Riffraff from off the street--?! I won't have it!

Now, Tendo. I know how you feel, but we don't know for sure.

No, Saotome, it's true!

Kasumi's a virginal, pure-hearted maiden!

That's why her judgment of men is--

Absolutely nil.

Right!

What should I do?

I'll never be able to face your dear, departed mother!

I hope she's not planning to elope. . .?

I'm taking your daughter!

Father, I was mistaken. Please save me!

Wait! Take this girl instead--!

I'm chokin'--!

Sorry. I got carried away.

What's wrong with you, anyway?!

By the way, Ranma, you've never seen that guy before, right?

No. He's not from around here.

Then we might never see him again.

Kasumi's a sensible girl. It'll be fine.

Sensible girls fall hardest.

Remember the poultry farm that used to be around here?

Their eggs were good, weren't they?

Sis?

What kind of guys do you like?

Well. . . Someone a little different.

Oh, it's snowing again. Let's hurry, Akane.

Someone a little different. . . ?

Dr. Tofu's different, but that guy was really unusual.

Akane, hurry!

You'll be completely healed in a few days.

Thank you for all your trouble.

It's lucky that your arm was just dislocated.

Yes, thank you.

What a terrible man that Sukeroku is, though.

I'll be going now.

You seem to be from out of town.

Why not spend the night here?

I'll fix you some hot egg nog!

You're so kind to a stranger like me.

- I'm overwhelmed! - Don't get so emotional.

Excuse me!

Company?

Good evening.

Akane! Welcome. Sit down.

Good evening.

K-K-Kasumi.

Dr. Tofu, here's the book I borrowed.

- Thank you very much. - Yes, yes, yes.

Are you well? I'm very well.

Why, it's you.

We meet again, miss.

You're the egg-catcher--?

Yes, I'm Yasukichi, otherwise known as Vagabond Yasu.

Vagabond?

Are you a friend of Dr. Tofu?

I'm just a passing stranger. . .

but he treated me and even put me up for the night.

Really?

Men like him are rare these days.

We'll be going now.

- Good night. - Wait!

Is the doctor all right? He's acting strange.

G'bye, g'bye.

Dr. Tofu gets like this whenever he sees my sister Kasumi.

'Night!

This won't do! Please wait a moment!

Don't catch cold.

Thank you.

Akane. . .?

Be careful!

Doc! You're a man, ain'tcha?!

If you love her, tell her! This is all wrong!

It's tough being a man!

Yasukichi! Let's have lunch--

Where could he have gone?

"I know just how you feel. Leave everything to me."

"I'll never forget your kindness. Take care."

What does he mean?

Here goes, Ranma!

This is nothing!

That's a basic skill. . .

for the Saotome Anything- Goes School of Martial Arts.

Pop! Catch!

I'm counting on you, Ranma.

Does this mean you'll take Kasumi's place?

No, it don't!

Excuse me!

Yasukichi!

Thank you for last night.

Is Kasumi here?

Kasumi is here, but. . .

He's come to take Kasumi away!

Tendo! It won't hurt to hear him out first.

If it does hurt, will you take responsibility for it? Huh, Saotome?

He looks pretty strong.

Aw, he's nothin'.

Please pardon me for coming so suddenly to your home.

Dad! This is Yasukichi.

I know! I am Soun Tendo.

I'm Yasukichi, a vagabond with only the clothes on my back.

I can't give Kasumi to a vagabond.

Dad!

Interesting! Are you taking her by force?

A fly.

Out in this cold, It's got spunk.

Welcome.

What'm I supposed to say in front of all these people?

Kasumi. . .!

Yasukichi. . . Kasumi's actually very scatterbrained and wishy-washy.

And more than anything, she's willful! Right, willful!

It'll be a big mistake to marry a girl like her.

Father. . .!

Nonsense! Kasumi is a fine girl!

She has a good eye for eggs!

That's right, eggs!

Oden stew?

What about it, Sis?

Yesterday, I wanted to cook omelette for dinner, so I went to buy eggs.

Didn't you meet Yasukichi on the way back?

That's right.

And he asked if I was fixing oden or custard for dinner.

That gave you the idea to cook oden?!

Correct. But I didn't have all the ingredients for oden.

Right, we didn't have oden last night.

So I decided to fix oden today.

- Then I just felt so happy. - Why?

It's easier knowing beforehand what to cook for dinner.

Hah?

So that's why you seemed so happy?

Did I look that happy?

Is that all?

What're they talking about?

By the way, Yasukichi, didn't you want to speak to Kasumi?

Uh, no--! Um. . .

Oden! That's it!

Kasumi, please take some oden over to Dr. Tofu.

You came just to say that?!

Dr. Tofu doesn't seem to be eating well.

As a fellow bachelor, I wanted to help.

I wanted him to have some food that was lovingly prepared!

Yasukichi, you're a good man, after all!

Not at all!

No, you're a fine lad! You must spend the night here!

Thank you for lending me the book. Be careful, it's hot.

K-K-Kasumi.

Isn't it great, Doc?

Yasukichi. . .

Is this why you came to our house today--?

Say no more.

A man should never do too much talking.

If I said I did it to bring Kasumi and Dr. Tofu together. . .

it'd only sound like I was bragging.

You said plenty already.

Thank you for everything.

Stop by if you're ever in the neighborhood.

Yasukichi. . .

Thank you for letting us use this.

Not at all.

Kasumi, give the doctor my regards.

- Good-bye! - Hold it!

Here's a present!

And one extra!

Thank you! I accept!

He caught thirteen!

I've been around eggs since I was born.

Weird guy.

Sis, is something wrong?

Yasu--!

It's Yak-kun from the poultry farm!

This is a good egg.

Dogs don't scare me!

Dogs don't scare me!

Yasukichi, hurry up!

Here's a good-bye gift.

My grandma gave it to me. It's my treasure.

Thanks, Kasumi.

- I. . .I l-love--! - Yasukichi!

G'bye!!

Who's Yak-kun? Kasumi?

Sis! What's the matter?

Can Kuno really make any wish come true?

But you don't have to kiss him, Ranma!

Next, "Ranma and Kuno's First Kiss." Don't miss it!
