    If you've got enough funding, and you've enjoyed what you have so far, the rest is definately worth it!

    But, yeah, there are 38 volumes in the full set...quite a bit to chew off, huh?

    Oi, it's gonna be hard to decide for me, alright. I like the series and all, but there are SO many volumes! I hope I won't regret my decision..buy the books, i'll be broke; NOT buy the books, and I'll feel like I'm missing out on a good collection of something i like.
    I'll have to see...

    If you have liked what you have seen so far...Go for it. The rest will be just as great...and probably BETTER! :D I have volumes 1-16 and I still want the rest...

    Personally, I prefer the Manga over the anime..and the manga has been one of my favs on my list!

    Well,I just bought the first two volumes and read the first one today...very hilarious...I'm surprised at how quickly the first one went!

    One comment though,Kasumi seems to have a very different personality from the way she's portrayed in fanfiction...

    InuYasha - read the first three chapters on the bus from the mall back to campus,and spent another hour reading the rest of volume 1....

    Kasumi...fanfiction...?

    Here's a guy who's read about 2 total Ranma fanfics from the 10000+ out there...:sweat:

    What do people turn her personality into?

    It depends on the fanfic, Kasumi isn't one of the characters focused on most of the time, so she usually doesn't get much attention for detail stuffs. As such, she doesn't end up true to character a lot.

    Not like I'm an expert in fanfic writer psychology or something...

    i like Kasumi tho...she's the older sister i would like to have.
    About the books, i've decided to keep collecting until I can't buy anymore...they're just so good!
    And they really ARE easy to read quickly. When I got my 2nd and 3rd book, I read it all in, i think, less than or about an hour!

    your lucky, Ranma! You can always get on top of most mangas there...my library doesn't have any manga collections, but I can't find the time either to go to one that does have them...
