Give Me a Little Hug

 is the 124th chapter of the manga it is also the fifth and final chapter of the Waterproof Soap Arc.

Shampoo keeps trying to make Ranma regurgitate the soap, but he is more concerned with Ryoga and Akane. Now that Akane has hugged Ryoga, he has lost all his shyness and is trying to return the favor and hug Akane. Akane doesn't even remember the hug Shampoo forced her to make, until it is revealed to her, but by that time, Ryoga has gotten out of control and is chasing Akane and not listening to reason.

Continuing from the Previous Chapter
Infuriated at Akane's earlier actions, Ranma turns into his female form in an attempt to foil the date by pretending to be Ryoga's girlfriend. However, Shampoo soon derails this plan by demanding Ranma cough up the Waterproof Soap first. Akane then arrives with Ryoga and tells Ranma to just grow up as this date idea was all his doing anyway.

Hearing this, Ranma comments about he wasn't the one who hugged Ryoga like he was their one true love. Akane can't remember anything about hugging Ryoga and attempts to ask Ranma what he's talking about, but before she can, Ryoga thanks her for squeezing the fear from his timid heart. He continues by sweeping Akane up into his arms and declaring that he is now a man, prompting Shampoo to comment that the pair look like a real couple.

Ranma appears extremely aggravated by this situation at first, but soon calms herself done to tell the pair how lovely they are together. Ryoga is surprised at this, and thanks Ranma by over-excitedly punching him into the air whilst telling Ranma what a good man he is. Ryoga then proceeds to carry Akane off with him, as Shampoo wishes them a happy life together.
