*** There was a similar story where Ryōga tried to use a magical fishing pole to make Akane fall in love with him, but accidentally used it on Ranma instead.
*** In episode 87 when Ryoga falls on top of Ranma in the path of an oncoming train Ranma tries to get Ryoga off of him and all the movement [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|makes it look like they're having sex]]. He also worries about Ryoga when he gets injured and carries him.
** On the [[Les Yay]] side of things, particularly in the early years of the fandom, many people tend to read a lot into [[Chinese Girl]] [[Hot Amazon|Shampoo's]] willingness to [[Glomp]] her [[Gender Bender]] [[Accidental Marriage|reuctant husband]] when he is in female form, even if one (or both) of them are stark naked at the time. She's also perfectly willing to talk about kissing him, or even try to do it, when he's in female form. However, that canonically seems to be more [[Single -Target Sexuality]]; she makes it quite clear that she prefers Ranma's male form, among other things being quick to change Ranma back into male form before trying anything romantic on him. She's also insinuated that Akane Tendo is a lesbian and, in the same sentence, called her a pervert, and in one anime episode (the climax of the expanded [[Filler|Japanese Nanniichuan arc]]), outright tells Akane she wants to get Ranma cured because she wants a "real man" on her honeymoon.
** Similarly, Nabiki Tendo calls Ranma "cute" on their first meeting (although she thinks Ranma is a normal boy at the time, and doesn't know he's a male-to-female [[Gender Bender]] currently in his other form), and when she notices the breasts, promptly prods and rubs them to confirm that, yes, they are real. When Soun regains consciousness, having fainted upon Nabiki indignantly telling him that Ranma is a girl, she proves her point by squeezing Ranma's breasts again. In a late manga story, she confirms that Ranma's breasts have grown larger by, you guessed it, squeezing them again. She also has a number of half-naked photos of Ranma-chan hidden in her room... although, admittedly, given that she takes and sells these against Ranma's will for money, it does make sense she'd hide them to prevent him finding and destroying them.
** Akane Tendo isn't exempt either, in the eyes of [[Fanon]]. Mainly due to how she is relieved when it appears Ranma is actually a girl... though that ''might'' have been because she considered an [[Arranged Marriage]] to be old-fashioned and a denial of her freedom, currently had a [[Precocious Crush]] on the local physician, and was constantly being attacked by [[Casanova Wannabe|the perverted jocks]] at school, who believed that she would go on a date with whoever beat her. This last fact even gave her a short-lived [[Catch Phrase]] of "I hate boys!", perhaps a [[Shout -Out]] to her fellow [[Rumiko Takahashi]] [[Tsundere]] Shinobu of [[Urusei Yatsura]], though the [[Catch Phrase]] disappeared well before Kodachi Kuno was introduced. Kasumi also tried to placate Akane to the idea of being engaged to Ranma by pointing out that Ranma was "half girl", while Nabiki once told Akane that she thought it was cool Ranma was a [[Gender Bender]] and, in the anime at least, mentioned that it would make their honeymoon "much more interesting".
*** The second movie also has a line where Ranma has to destroy a potential cure lest Akane get hit wiht it as well and Akane says to him "I like you just the way you are." Many have read much into that line.
** In episode 87 after Ranma accidentally turns into a girl and learns that Akane is still gone she's shown looking upset and saying "Don't you know that without you I'm just..." (Akane sneezes interrupting her)
