- Ranma #35 - Chapter 11: "Love Knot" Bamboo Leaf (Page 167) Banner: Akane: I wonder what's going on over there... so many people are there. Ranma: They're all couples. Man: Okay, no rush... no rush... Girl: We are always going to be together, right, Torakichi-san? Boy: Of course, Inoko-san. Girl: I know this talisman will work, Todohiko-san. Boy: You have such a strong faith, Buriko-san. (Page 168) Hikoboshi: Isn't that a wonderful bamboo leaf, Orihime-san? Orihime: Let us go and buy some, too, Hikoboshi-san. Genma: ...That's the legend. Soun: Now, write your names there. Right side: Left side: Akane: This is silly... Ranma: This thing can't really work. Man: In the beginning, everybody says that. (Page 169) Man: But understand one thing. Man: This paper... Man: If this was removed and put on some other bamboo leaf, Man: Then a terrible curse will be put on you... Kunou: I won't allow it!! Ranma: Kunou... Kunou: Eeei! Ranma&Akane: Ah! Kunou: Now then Tendou Akane, take this paper...! Paper: Akane: Whether it works or not, Ranma: What do you think you're doing?! Man: I'm telling you that it works... (Page 170) Hinako: Hm? Akane: The paper flew to Hinako-sensei's bamboo leaf... Ranma: Hm, I wonder what kind of curse it is... Ranma: Love between Hinako-sensei and I will last forever! Hinako: Saotome-kun... Akane: What are you doing all of a sudden?! Hinako: What's this about, Tendou-san? Soun: T... this is...! Man: Once the paper is removed and put on some other bamboo leaf... (Page 171) Man: The person will become a love slave, who will never be satisfied no matter how much they serve. Akane: How terrible... Hinako: Hahaha! Be my horsey... Ranma: Aah... I'm so happy. Hinako: Ah! Kodachi: Hohohohoho! Something good just came to my hand. Ranma: Eh?! Kodachi! Akane: This means you'll become Kodachi's love slave... Ranma: I won't allow that to happen! Hinako: Saotome-kun, buy me this! Ranma: What do you think you're doing?! Hinako: *Sniff*, I'm just saying that I love this. Ranma: I'm sorry sensei... but my heart belongs to someone else. (Page 172) Ranma: Kodachi-san, you're more beautiful than the roses!! Kodachi: Calling me Kodachi-san... please call me "Joou-sama" (your majesty). Akane: What a powerful curse... Ranma: What a dangerous paper... I'm going to... Man: Wait... Man: If you tear, burn, or lose the paper, then you two will NEVER be together in the future. Akane: I... I don't care what happens to it. Ranma: Oh...? (Page 173) Ranma: I see... I was thinking of giving into the power of this bamboo leaf's legend. Ranma: But if you feel that way... Ranma: I guess it's better for us to not end up together!! Akane: Ah!! Akane: Ba... baka! Why'd you do that for... Paper: Ranma: Wahahahaha! You're an idiot... idiot. Akane: *Smirk*. Akane: Why you pervert...!! Ranma: Biiiii... Akane: I won't put it back on even if you begged me to! Ranma: Don't worry about that. (Page 174) Kunou: Yah! Kunou: Yah!Yah!Yah!Yah!Yah!Yah!Yah!Yah!Yah! Ranma: Waa. Ranma: Waa. Ranma: Waa. Ranma: What do you think you're doing?! Kunou: I thought you'll cooperate. Akane: Ranma... Ranma: Hm?! Akane: Let's not fight over silly things like this. Akane: If you put the paper back on, then you won't have to worry about the curse... (Page 175) Akane: So if you quietly lower your head, then I'll allow you to put it back on. Ranma: Why... you... Akane: Hm? A hermit crab? Man: Beatoreechu (*hermit crab's name*). Man: I was so worried. Soun: ...This means Akane will get a curse as well! Akane: W... we have to get it back!! Ranma: *Annoyed sound* (Page 176) Ranma: Ah! Man: Through the ring of fire. Please clap as loud as you can if he succeeds. Ranma: T... that was too close... Man: *Gasp*! The fireworks are...!! Ranma: Ah! (Page 177) Man: Happy birthday, Kimihide-kun. Child: Ah! Ranma: I... I'm exhausted... Ranma: Hm? Ranma: Why did I go after Akane's... Akane: I'm glad it was easy to retrieve it. Here. Ranma: It wasn't easy, you fool! (Page 178) Akane: What do you mean?! This is all because you refused to put it back on... Ranma: Oh, really. Ranma: This is yours. Ranma: Now put it back on yourself, if you want to be with me that badly. Ranma: Hu-rry! Ranma: Hu-rry! Hu-rry! Akane: Are you a little kid?! Akane: Ah! Ranma: Stupid!! Akane: Shut up! Akane: Ah! (Page 179) Akane: Eeei! Akane: Ah... Ranma: Damn it, causing trouble like this. Ranma: Eh. Akane: Ah... Voice: Fireworks... (Page 180) Ranma: Ooh... Ranma: Akane's paper! Ranma: It's safe... Akane: Ranma! Akane: Are you okay...? Ranma: Akane... Akane: I'm sorry... for troubling you with such a small thing... Akane: To tell you the truth... I wanted to put the papers together... Ranma: Akane... (Page 181) Ranma: Here... Akane: Thanks... Akane: Look. Ranma: Ah... Akane: So pretty... it's like a river in the heaven... Ranma: I feel as if we are... (Page 182) Ranma: We are like Hikoboshi and Orihime when they finally met each other. Akane: Huh? Soun: Do you feel better, Ranma-kun. Genma: Don't worry, Akane-kun's paper is safe. Genma: He looks as if he wants to say something... Soun: Maybe the bamboo leaf is paying off. Akane: Um... thanks... for the paper... Ranma: It's okay.
