Line 13:
Although the central idea of the story is not one that ''Ranma ½''{{'}}s creator Rumiko Takahashi might ever have chosen to explore, Haynie takes it and runs with it directly into exactly the same kind of comedic and chaotic territory that typifies the best manga chapters.
Haynie wrote <s>eighteen</s> seventeen and a half chapters of ''[[Girl Days]]'' between April 1999 and November 2002. He also wrote a short fic set in an [[Alternate Universe]] of the ''Girl Days'' verse, ''[http://ffmlsearch.inklesspen.com/message/show/1186904443.M979406P12296Q84972.euterpe A Girl Days Spamfic]'',{{Dead link}}

Line 275:
"Ranma get paid selling stick-boy. Then Ranma get paid again, take stick-boy back."}}
* [[Playboy Bunny]]: Nabiki's outfit for the costume party that starts in chapter 11. Chosen because no one would expect her to wear something like that, because it would attract the eyes of the businessmen she hoped to network with at the party, and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|because it was cheap]].
* [[Properly Paranoid]]: Throughout chapter 15, Ranma insists a fight is in the offing and prepares for it, even though everyone else tells her she's wrong. She wasn't.
* [[The Prophecy]]: Seized by a sense of foreboding, Cologne attempts in chapter 11 to scry the future using [[Crystal Ball|the Crystal of Leng-Khao]]. Its immediate response is [[Sophisticated As Hell|"YOU'RE SCREWED."]] Her attempts at clarification merely result in emphasis on how screwed they are. When Mousse asks ''why'' they're screwed, the Crystal provides entire ''paragraphs'' of detailed information on who, what, why, and how.
Line 302 ⟶ 303:
* [[Sobriquet]]: In chapter 14, Ranma refers to Tatewaki Kuno (who dubbed himself "the Blue Thunder" early on in canon) as "the Chartreuse Flatulence of Furinkan High", which is mutated by Shampoo into "the Green Fart". Within 48 hours it had become a game in which Kuno was addressed with multiple absurd sobriquets in the form "the (color) + (object)". (Ranma's favorite is "the Tartan Electric Massage Unit With Sunlamp Attached".) It reaches the point that even Kuno got confused as to what his preferred sobriquet was, and demanded he be addressed as "the Green Fart".
* [[Sophisticated As Hell]]: In her fury at being denuded and groped by Happosai, Kodachi simply gives up on her elegant speech pattern when trying to express herself.
* [[Stalking Mission]]/[[Date Peepers]]: The fiancées each independently take it upon themselves to follow and watch over Ranma and Ryoga's date in chapter 7. Naturally, [[Hilarity Ensues]]. Ultimately subverted by Akane, who feels vaguely ill at ease over the entire idea and bails on it almost immediately, only to have Ranma and Ryoga end up in the park where she's been thinking things over; panicking, she hides and watches them, and then defends them from a misunderstanding by Shampoo and Ukyo.▼
▲** And then there's Cologne's very simple "Oh, shit" when she feels Fred Yerfburger cast his spell.

* [[Standing in the Hall]]: Ranma and all three fiancées end up doing this on Shampoo's first day attending Furinkan, when she gets into an argument with a teacher over the lack of female emperors in Japan's history.
* [[Statuesque Stunner]]: Hilda is six-foot-three, ''before'' the helmet.
