You're Cute When You Smile



You're Cute When You Smile is the ninth chapter of the Ranma ½ manga it is also the second and final chapter of the Dr. Tofu Intro Arc.

Ranma realizes that it's Kasumi that Dr. Tofu is in love with, and see that Akane is taking it rather hard. Ranma tries to make Akane feel better by telling her she's cute when she smiles. However, Ranma just gets Akane mad again by spying on her smiling at herself in a mirror.

Still at the Clinic
Ranma and Akane are stood inside Dr. Tofu's Clinic and Ranma wonders what Akane means by Kasumi. Akane explains that she can tell from the way Dr. Tofu looks at Kasumi that he likes her. Just then Dr. Tofu pocks his head through a door and asks what they're doing, to which Ranma replies that they're not doing anything. Genma then blows into a paper bag, pops it, and holds up a sign saying "I'm Ranma's Pop! (Get it?)". Ranma, rather unimpressed, thanks Genma for the interruption.
