Forum:Ranma's love interest

I don't understand why Shampoo and Ukyo are in the Ranma love interest, if you read the manga it's more than clear that he doesn't feel anything for the girls :/


 * Even if Ranma doesn't want to marry either Ukyo or Shampoo (he doesn't even want to marry Akane until much, much later and even then he is still unsure), both still count as love interests (Kodachi does as well) because they are pursuing Ranma romantically. In the context of the series most of the Category:Relationships are wholly one sided. Broken Sphere  (Talk 15:59, April 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, I'm not talking about marriage, I mean, he's just 16 years old, obviously he doesn't want marry yet... but at the end it's obvious he has feelings for Akane, even before the end, that's why I don't consider Ranma as harem, the other girls don't show up that much in the story either. —This unsigned comment was made by Zereshiito (talk • contribs) .

 * Not sure what you mean by the other girls don't show up that much in the story because Shampoo and Ukyo do play major roles in several arcs but aren't there all the time, obviously because Ranma does live with the Tendos and a lot of the story shows the domestic interaction.


 * I wouldn't class the series into the harem genre either, although it is categorized as such in Wikipedia because it does satisfy the criteria of: "a protagonist surrounded, usually amorously, by three or more members of the opposite sex." Interesting to note that Tenchi Muyo, which came out in 1992 after Ranma ended is a harem series and I believe really kick started that genre. Broken Sphere  (Talk) 14:44, April 25, 2012 (UTC)
