345: 愛の特効薬
Ai no tokkoyaku
(Love Medicine)
A dying boy named Densuke lays in his hospital bed, watching the persimmons falling from the tree outside his window. He vows that when the last persimmon falls he will die. Female Ranma shows up outside and starts picking all the fruit from the tree, prompting Densuke to toss a chair at her. When Ranma goes inside to investigate, she finds out about Densuke's situation. It seems he is dying but refuses to take his medicine unless it is given to him mouth-to-mouth by Ranma. Ranma, of course, refuses until he he realizes how grave the situation is. Ranma relents and goes on a date with Densuke and tries to slip the medicine down his throat at various times throughout the date, but to no avail. Densuke finally collapses as he succumbs to his illness. Ranma rushes him back to the hospital, where Densuke is finally given his medicine mouth-to-mouth. Unfortunately it was not given by Ranma, but by Densuke's (male) doctor.

347: 年の数だけ
Toshi no kazu dake
(The Mushroom of Time)
Ryoga has gotten himself lost once again, this time in a strange forest. After searching in vain for food, he has to settle for eating a single, puny mushroom for dinner. After swallowing it a man jumps out of the bushes and begs him not to eat it. Days later Ranma comes across P-chan who is growing some mushrooms in a bowl. Ranma tries to eat one, but Ryoga stops him after splashing himself with hot water. Ranma is shocked to find that Ryoga has de-aged and is now a small child. Ryoga explains that the mushrooms from the forest are the cause. Depending on the size of the mushroom, it will reduce your age. A five centimeter mushroom turns you into a five year old, while a sixteen centimeter one will be needed to get Ryoga back to his proper age. All he has to do now is grown one of the tiny fungi into a adequately sized mushroom. Ranma offers to let Ryoga stay with the Tendos and proceeds to make his life hell when Akane takes a shine to little Ryoga. Due to Ranma's carelessness in storing the mushrooms they are soon ruined, and Ryoga force feeds one to Ranma as payback.

349: 遠い16cm
Toi 16cm
(16cm Short)
Back at the Tendo Dojo, Ranma, Ryoga and Akane do their best to take care of the mushrooms once again. Unfortunately the little boys keep squabbling over the fastest growing mushrooms and nearly destroy the crop more than once. Akane punishes Ranma for force feeding Ryoga a mushroom that turns him into a three year old. Soon Akane realizes that the only way to ensure the safety of the mushrooms is to hide them. Ryoga and Ranma break into her room to find them, but manage to wreck the room and still find no sign of the mushrooms. When Akane comes in, they hide in her drawer, only to get stuck. She tells them she has two sixteen centimeter mushrooms ready for them to eat, so they power up their ki and try to force their way out of the drawer. Unfortunately their ki blasts roast the remaining mushrooms. Akane tells them that that was the last of them. Ryoga and Ranma bawl their eyes out at the thought of having to live their childhoods over again, but Akane secretly has more mushrooms, but this time she decides not to tell them until they are ready to be eaten for fear the two boys may really destroy the last batch.

350: 二人のシャンプー
Futari no Shampoo
(The Two Shampoos)
As another cold winter begins to settle in, Mousse has been spending all his free time knitting a scarf for Shampoo. Unfortunately Shampoo does not appreciate Mousse's efforts and blows off his gift. Saddened, Mousse comes across a Jizo statue and wraps the scarf around it to keep it warm. Later Shampoo comes to visit Mousse for a date. The next day Ranma and Akane find Mousse looking warn out and tired. This continues for days, so they decide to follow him and see where he goes each night. Shampoo comes along too, because she is upset that Mousse's work at the Cat Cafe has begun to suffer due to his fatigue. Everyone is shocked to see that there is another Shampoo, but this new one is obviously the Jizo statue Mousse gave his scarf too. The statue explains that it wants to repay Mousse's kindness by giving him what he wants (dates with Shampoo). Ranma and Akane decide to try to take the scarf back from the Jizo Shampoo hoping that it will then leave Mousse alone. Unfortunately taking it back is easier said than done. Ultimately they wind up locking Mousse in a cage at the Cat Cafe when nothing else seems to work. Then Jizo Shampoo shows up to help the beleaguered Mousse bust out.

Chapter
351: 今宵も恩返し
Koyoi mo ongaeshi
(Payback's A Saint)
While Jizo Shampoo distracts everyone, Mousse uses his background in circus magic to escape from his prison. With Jizo Shampoo in tow, Mousse hijacks a bicycle and heads for the hills. Ranma, Akane and Cologne follow in hot pursuit, while Shampoo stays behind. Mousse envisions a romantic date with Shampoo, but when Ranma and the others find him, he is actually drinking water in a cemetery. Once again they try to remove the Jizo's scarf, thinking it will then leave Mousse in peace and stop draining him of his energy. With no other choice, Ranma challenges Mousse to a fight, hoping to defeat him and make him give up on the statue. Mousse attacks, and displays amazing strength, despite his weakened state. Cologne points out that Mousse has been carrying a stone statue around for many days, and has build up a great deal of muscle and stamina. Mousse is able to go toe-to-toe with Ranma for awhile before he almost faints. Ranma feels sorry for him, and offers to call it a draw, but Mousse battles on. Shampoo arrives and wraps Mousse in a scarf she made for him. With that the Jizo Shampoo says that its debt has been repaid and it departs. Everyone wonders why the statue was draining Mousse, but Cologne points out that was not the case at all. Mousse was weak because he was dating the statue every night and working at the Cat Cafe every day. Only later does Mousse realize that the scarf Shampoo gave him was actually knitted for Ranma.

Meiwaku!! abare ema
(The Drawn and Quartered Horse)
Ranma, Akane and Hinako head to a local temple where the charms that students have placed for good luck in their scholastic future are being destroyed. There they meet Ukyo, who is filling in for the priestess who ran off when the trouble began. Soon the priest shows everyone the charms that are being destroyed, which show a crudely drawn horse on them. At first everyone thinks that the priest who drew the pictures must be a terrible artist, but then the horse appears. The horse's name is Shussemaru and he is extordinarily ugly. It seems he has been destroying the charms with his picture on them because he wants his depiction to be less true-to-life and more beautiful. Ranma, Akane, Hinako and Ukyo all try to reign the wild horse in, but to no avail. Ultimately the priest consents not to draw Shussemaru anymore and start putting their equally ugly boar, Mantenmaru, on the charms.

Hayato chooses to fight at a construction site where Ukyo's large okonomiyaki are at a disadvantage to his tiny takoyaki.
