Girl Days/Quotes

"Some people may wonder why I wrote this story in the first place. Well... in english fanfiction many many stories have been written about Ranma being stuck as a girl, or being forced to think he was a girl, or similar. Many are very very good. (I will later send to the honorable translator a list of these.) But they were all... well, serious. I mean, they were all deep, painful, meaninful psychodramas, going into the heavy ramifications of Ranma being a girl, and the pain that ensued. Well, that's all fine and good-- they are all very good stories-- but they all forgot one little tiny thing-- Ranma 1/2 is a COMEDY. So... I took MY take on it. I went for the original concept-- that it's a FUNNY series, not the latest drama. I said, "Let's take that old fanfiction plotline and do it the way Takahashi-sama would have." I said, "Oh, let's be just plain SILLY like SHE usually is." Apparently people agree."
