Chapter
367: 二人の乱馬
Futari no Ranma
(The Two Ranmas)
During a downpour, Ranma and Genma find themselves at the doorstep of the Mirror Mansion. An eldery gentleman invites them inside, but warns Ranma not to knock the curtain off the giant mirror in the hallway. No sooner does he say this than Ranma slips on a banana peel and tears the curtain, catching her reflection in the mirror. A duplicate female-Ranma steps out of the mirror. The old man who lives in the mansion explains that a beautiful young woman once gazed into the mirror for years until she died, never having found love. Now her spirit captures whatever image is reflected in the mirror and uses it to escape into the real world. Ranma, Genma and Mirror Ranma all make their way back to the Tendo Dojo after being told that it will take a few weeks to fashion a new curtain for the mirror. Mirror Ranma immediately causes problems by going through Akane's clothes and looking for something sexy to wear as she looks for boys. Once Ranma explains the situation, she chases Mirror Ranma through the streets as she flirts with boys left and right. Soon they come upon Ryoga, and Mirror Ranma kisses him while he is waiting to go on a date with Akari. Ranma is fed up, and drags Mirror Ranma back home and into the bathroom. They both take a dunk in the tub, but Mirror Ranma does not change into a boy like Ranma does. Mirror Ranma is instantly smitten with male Ranma, and insists on staying in the same room with him.
Chapter
368: 二等辺三角関係
Nitohen sankaku kankei
(An Isosceles Love Triangle)
Mirror Ranma walks around the house in nothing but an apron nearly giving Mr. Tendo a heart attack. Ranma says he has to keep an eye on the doppelganger and drags her to school with him. All the boys go wild for a completely female version of Ranma, and another confrontation with Ryoga leaves the real Ranma badly beaten. Meanwhile the man from the Mirror Mansion stops by the Tendo home and leaves a small compact that can be used to capture the clone until he can complete the mirror's cover. Ranma immediately runs into the bedroom and sucks the other Ranma into the compact, but unknown to everyone else, this was the Mirror Ranma, who sucked up the real Ranma. The Mirror Ranma jumps into the compact as well and tries to make out with Ranma until Akane comes along and shakes the compact upside down, forcing both Ranmas to fall out. The Mirror Ranma quickly flees with the magic compact, vowing to make Ranma hers.

Mirror Ranma finds Ranma's shoe next to the compact and realizes he has gotten pulled inside and believes he is making out with Akane, so she decides to jump in as well.

Chapter
371: 二人でお留守番
Futari de o-rusuban
(Playing House)
Nabiki comes home one afternoon with a concert ticket. Everyone is surprised that she paid her own money for the ticket rather that resorting to her usual methods. Just then Happosai and Ranma burst into the room and Ranma knocks Nabiki's ticket onto the eye of the stove, burning it to a crisp. The next day everyone else has prior engagements, and leave Ranma and Nabiki home alone. Nabiki is down in the dumps about missing the concert, so Ranma does his best to make it up to her. He agrees to pose for naughty photos in his female form, buys her an expensive sushi lunch, helps her sell handkerchiefs with nude pictures of his female self on them, and even tackles Nabiki in order to keep a jar of ink from ruining her blouse. As he tackles her and lays over her on the floor, Nabiki snaps a picture and threatens to show it to everyone as soon as they get home. Ranma heads for Nabiki's room to search for the photo, but instead finds an old love letter she had written to Kuno. Once Ranma shows it to Nabiki, she panics, and Ranma believes he finally has her where he wants her. Unfortunately he realizes that it is not a love letter, but an invoice for naked photos of the Pigtailed Girl. At a loss as to what to do, Ranma snatches the photo from Nabiki and destroys it while she yells at him to stop. Nabiki tape records the conversation, making it look like Ranma tried to force himself on her. Just then everyone comes home and Ranma quickly destroys the tape while Nabiki undresses in a last ditch effort to get Ranma in trouble. He has no choice but to pay her to get dressed, and admit defeat.

Chapter
377: 縁結びの笹
Enmusubi no sasa
(Bamboo Leaves of Love)
It is Tanabata and Ranma and Akane make their way to a nearby festival. A vendor is selling bamboo leaves on which he affixes the name of a couple, telling them that whomever keeps their names together on the leaf bundle will be destined to stay together forever. Soun and Genma quickly force Ranma and Akane to sign their names. The salesman tells them that if their names become detatched or placed on someone else's bamboo a terrible curse will befall them. Hearing this Kuno quickly strikes and knocks Ranma's name off the bamboo leaves causing it to flutter and land on Hinako's leaves. Ranma quickly becomes enslaved to Hinako and vows to love her forever, but before anything too terrible happens Kodachi snatches Ranma's name and places it on her leaves. Akane saves Ranma from falling for Kodachi, and Ranma decides to tear up his nametag to ensure he does not fall in love with anyone else. The salesman stops him though and tells him that if he destroys his tag he and Akane will never be together. Ranma has second thoughts, but both he and Akane pretend not to care. Hearing Akane's false indifference Ranma pretends to tear up his tag which upsets Akane. Ranma quickly shows her the real nametag which only irritates her. Kuno hears that destroying Ranma's tag will ensure he and Akane are never together, thus he tries to slice it apart. Meanwhile Akane's tag also falls off the leaves prompting Ranma to chase after it to ensure no one else gets it. After making his way through many obstacles he grabs Akane's tag and hands it to her, telling her that if she wants to be with him she can put the tag on the leaves herself. Before she can place her name on the leaves another breeze catches the tag and it gets stuck on a balloon that sails up into the nighttime sky. Seeing how sad Akane looks, Ranma races to catch the balloon, but just as he grabs the tag he is hit by a firework and falls onto the ground. Getting up he sees Akane on the other side of a glowing river and he leaps across it to attach her name onto the bamboo leaves with his. Akane comments that it is just like the Tanabata legend of Altair and Vega crossing the Milky Way to be together. Just as Ranma exclaims that their coming together is like that of the infamous heavenly lovers, he wakes up to find that he has been hallucinating while knocked unconcious from the fall. As Ranma and Akane walk home together Genma and Soun discuss Ranma's mushy comments.
