Thanks to Mac for the picture!
I counted it in terms of stories, rather than volumes or chapters. What I call the stories are shown at the end. There are 113 stories in all.
I may have miscounted somewhere along the line, or marked down a character when it was ment to be the character next to him/her... But I am not going to go over it again, and I don't think that it will make much difference either way. So if anyone wants to check over these figures, go for it ... You can be my editor! My e-mail address is kunoichi@thekeep.org.

Well, that's it. There's probably a whole heap of errors in the above, and I've probably added up stuff wrong here and there, but I can't be bothered editing it myself. Anyone else want to have a go, and correct it for me? If so, reply to the e-mail address above! ^_^
Now for something somewhat different. Apon reading a book about Japanese society, specifically on women and society, I wondered how the characters from Ranma 1/2 would fit into Japanese society. I have entitled my little musing Ranma 1/2 in Japanese Society. Feel free to give me comments and corrections, please!
