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}}'', in which Principal Kuno is inspired by the fight between Ranma and Big Pocky. And between 1999 and 2000 he wrote four chapters of an equally incomplete [[Sequel]] entitled ''[http://jusenkyo.wikia.com/wiki/Redheads Redheads]'', in which the post-''Girl Days'' Ranma and Akane find themselves thrown into the world of ''[[Slayers]]''.

Line 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.
* [[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.
