"I had so much Ranma stuff rumbling around in my head, I just had to get it out, all the minutiae, all the little things I had discovered and couldn't wait to share."
- Harley Acres
Aimed primarily at boys from elementary to junior high school, Ranma ½ is one of Takahashi's most successful series.
The comedy manga centers around a boy named Ranma Saotome, who is cursed to become a girl whenever he touches cold water, but turns back to a boy when splashed with hot water. The story chronicles Ranma's misadventures with his fiance Akane Tendo and a large cast of other wacky characters.
Ranma ½ Perfect Edition is Harley Acres' contribution to Rumic World.
Already a Ranma ½ fan, Harley created Ranma ½ Perfect Edition on June 5, 1998 as a site on Geocities. Although Ranma ½ Perfect Edition wasn't as polished as some of its competitors (there were tons of Ranma ½ fansites at the time), it grew as Harley's skill with web design grew.
In October of 2001, Perfect Edition moved to furinkan.com, which eventually became the address for Rumic World. After Rumic World launched in May 2002, Perfect Edition became its home page until early 2003, when Perfect Edution was redesigned and moved to its own subsection so that Rumic World could move front and center.
