    So I'm surprised and glad to see this story updated. I'm not sure if you'll read or notice this review but here goes.

    Despite the drama of Ranma being a "bad guy" being resolved, there's still a lot of his troubled life before Beverly Hills and how he struggles to not twitch at the world whiplashing at him. No offense to Rumiko Takahashi but as noted by the other characters, what Ranma -- hell, what every character goes through on a daily basis is scary when you think about it. Ryoga is always lost, holds a grudge on Ranma, and is the closest thing he is to a friend. Mousse wants Shampoo to love him but she's smitten towards Ranma instead and channels his frustration on him. Akane is constantly thrown in the middle by being the official fiance yet more and more women keep coming up asking for his hand too. None of them are saints (except maybe Kasumi) but it's hard not to feel bad for them, least of all Ranma. Myrna put it simply last chapter describing the Nerima Wrecking Crew are akin to a rock band group arguing over every little thing, and that they don't understand the concept of stoping.

    The training montage with Sam was interesitng, because instead of being jumped at the moment like Clover and Alex, Sam got to know more about Ranma slowly and gradually. There were funny moments like close proximity, Sam getting abs, and just trying not to get sexually aroused. So when the sex happened, it exploded in their faces, quite literally.

    The sex was hot of course, but I continue to appreciate how there's a story here, even if there continues to be a lack of fighting action (like comedically cutting away to AFTER Ranma's energy blast and everyone in WOOPH's reaction to it). There was a surprising sense of drama though with the risk of conception, and it was sweet to read Ranma immediately take responcibility. Ironically, he IS becoming a man like his dad said. Just in the exact opposite of what he would normally do, like robbing blind or making sure his son was so strong he could relax on his success.

    It was a surprise to see the girl's mothers involved into the plot, but it's more than just reading some nice romp now. It's carefully looking through Ranma's lifestyle and how he REALLY needed caring people in his life with no strings attached. I also enjoyed their commnetary, like some of the past events between them or how Stella's mama-bear reaction stems from likely a fear of her daughter getting hurt like she did. Though it looks like she's coming to accept it almost as quickly as Carmen and Gabrielle, which is an ironic twist given how supportive Clover had been from day 1 (even if she was just lusting over him like every other boy). Like, Gabby was so open that she not only left conveniently at a time for Sam to get laid (as well as rigging her deal with Jerry and the others, heheh) but offered some advice on the whole love polygon they got set up in.

    Honestly, I feel like the resolution to the idea is weird. Clover got to Ranma first, but Sam wants to be the "official" girlfriend just to not feel an accessory to an open relationship. It's also funny because Sam was the most hostile and paranoid about him, which makes this romance feel all the more rewarding and sweet. Also, Sam has always been the unofficial leader of the group, if only because she was the brains. If her mother's brief memory about her taking Clover behind is any indicator, Sam feels comfortable if she's in the lead. Maybe later chapters can look into that, as the three have been friends for a long time.

    If there's one thing I wish for this fanfic to explore, it's how Ranma is compared to the guys the girls have met and/or dated. Not just off-hand like during sex, but a number of episodes in Totally Spies tend to have romantic subplots that end badly. A character from school or on a mission will leave one of the girls (usually Clover) smitten and they're never mentioned again because it wouldn't have worked out.  There was a whole over-arching plot where Clover dated a fellow spy who cheated on her for Mandy (possibly to make sure Clover's single for the new season). Alex has her pedastal broken by supposed perfect guys before (examples include an AI idol, her favorite band as villains, or a geek posing as the perfect boy to her on a practice mission). And then of course, David, a guy so perfect they actually considered asking him out all together for a dance.

    The cliffhanger of Brittney finally pinging in was a tease, as it looked like we finally got to see the moms in action and some usual "gadget" exposition. Kind of glad there's more to tell though, and I'm sure there's other stuff I forgot to mention on this chapter (like the cameo of Donny's grandma Lo Xion or the somber stinger with Akane), but the bottom line is that it is still good and really engaging beyond just writing hot sex scenes. I find myself more interested in the story than the sex, which is weird to say, I know.

    Here's to reading more of your stuff! I can't wait for the next chapter!

    So two of the three girls are not allowed to hang out with Ranma without a chaperone, and they can't chaperone each other. That's good as far as it goes, but there's nothing in their orders saying that the third girl can't guard Ranma without a chaperone... or that she can't chaperone the other two. I see kinky loophole abuse in the near future.

    I actually created an account on this website just to comment on this story. And man, it's actually well done in both mixing the sex stuff and the plot. Going to do a big overall review so, wall of text ahoy!

    Still, let me first say that everyone in the Ranma One Half series are kind of jerks, including Ranma himself. Everyone has their reasons for why they do what they do, some more justified than others, though it is probably easy to feel sorry for Ranma himself for all his flaws, a LOT of crap is centered around him, at times without even his knowledge. Frankly, Ranma as a series really dragged on in that everyone just sort of... reacted. 

    So it's rather telling that even Mandy and her clique, who are typical cartoon bullies, find the shit that happened to him in Nerima to be fucked up. Even if there ARE good qualities on the Ranma One Half cast, its kind of ruined by the fact that it's an action comedy series that has everyone playing tug-o-war with each other on "love" when they probably don't really get the concept around it. After all, most of Ranma's one-shot fiances (and Ukyo) are just trying to collect on a marriage deal made years ago. Speaking of which, I think it's good story telling that you used Mandy, Dominique and Caitlyn, as well as Donna and Arnold, when it's so easy to just focus on the main characters for the sex stuff.

    Personally I would like to see more of this story where Ranma meets Britney during her mission instead of a recount, even if it doesn't quite fit the direction going in it. But the fact is that she was the change that allowed Ranma to finally say "fuck it", drop everything connected to Nerima, and start over. 

    But what is here, namely the romance and bit of cat and mouse between figuring out his "secrets" and spying, is done very well. Everyone is in character, even if they're aged up to be throwing adult slurs left and right (most alarmingly Clover and Mandy from what I remember from the show Totally Spies, but hey, it works). There's still drama, like with Clover briefly breaking up with Ranma (which was luckily resolved and mended before the end of the same chapter it happened). 

    If there's anything I'm sad or upset about, it's that this story is ending soon! There's barely any action here. Well, fighting action that is common in both show mediums. It has plenty of sex, don't get me wrong, but I think it's too soon to end a story without at least a confrontation between the main spy heroines and the Nerima Wrecking Crew. 

    Then again, after Sam finally gets some from Ranma, there's probably not much else to do or tell in this story without making it padded filler (like doing missions). I will say this though; it's funny how he ends up with three friends who don't have any qualm with sharing him, because he's probably the nicest guy (since David or Blaine) that they could snag. Any episode that has them crushing on a guy ends with the feelings not returned and status quo moving right along with them being single hot girls. Even Blaine, who looked like he'd be steady with Clover, ended up for some reason cheating on her (with Mandy of all people). Still, throughout the series, the keep looking for love (Clover especially so), and it's usually a side plot alongside a mission with some sort of moral for young kids to take in.

    On the flipside, while the spy girls had bad luck trying to find guys, Ranma is surrounded by girls pushing too hard on him. At least the spies were just concerned with dating. Ranma was strung along consistently with marriage that even when he stayed faithful with Akane, things just got chaotic and hectic. The analogies of the Wrecking Crew being that of a rock band's fanbase and a fox hunting party is rather accurate of his life in Nerima. I don't even see it so much as bashing as that deep down, Ranma still likes Akane, but one can only take so much negativity from everyone, including your arranged fiance, before something gives.

    I love the Warm and Fuzzy Feelings done here. Clover makes a passionate speech and hug, feeling for Ranma not having sex before, which is both cute and funny for her to do. And even when by chance Alex starts to move in on Ranma, they both confess to Clover and still have mixed feelings about getting together. Throw in Sam through some intimate training, and you got a happy quartet of three girls FINALLY getting a caring boyfriend. And said boyfriend gets a set of Beverly Angels who don't always immediately assume the worst of him. Well, Sam did anyway, but I suppose part of her training will be working up the trust and then getting very intimate later. It's still rather fitting when you think about it.

    I could go on, but I think I do so enough already. Basically, I really like reading this and hope for an update soon.

    I think Sam is just having a kinky sex fantasy should would like to participate in with her friends at first. Maybe Arnold could be more muscular and that he could lift and hold his girlfriend even during sex like stand and carry position without effort plus lasts longer thanks to repeated sex with Donna, Arnold is muscular enough to turn not only Donna's head but also other girls. before or after the talk Arnold gives Donna a rose then a more muscular guy shows up then starts saying how weak and puny Arnold is but before Donna was gonna step up for Arnold, Arnold did some martial art technique and looked at the guy with such dominance and power he had over this person that Arnold said "you mind repeating that" but the now fearful person shook his head no that's when Arnold let him go and the scared man ran away. Donna at that moment could only think of how horny Arnold just made her and took him to someplace private where he can display that dominance and power over her like in there game where Donna calls Arnold geek just to get him to really let loose on her that's when Arnold gets Donna to moan his name in pleasure. Could Arnold be the same size as ranon so he won't feel of inadequate when he's with Donna.

    I like where you are going with this story and a lot of potential in how Clover misinterprets things but to Ranma side. I hope Sam finds of how he was a victim of domestic abuse I could just imagine her getting all protective of him. I personally have seen guys in Ranma situation because he is for all intensive purposes Captain America body wise. Since Akane is a girl she can and has beat, abuse, and insult him. But if he lay a finger on her he would be seen as the bad guy. So while everyone brushes it off in Nerima in the states and most of the world it would be seen as abuse. Their relationship seems like a case of Stockholm syndrome.

    These are things I hope to see is a reaction to how strong Ranma really is. No Idea in the timeline but since it is the high school in the first three seasons.  Have him crush 50 armed by himself of destroying a robot or machine with his Moko Takabisha, or his Hadouken, to protect the girls. Donna getting a taste I can imagine Alex accidently sharing Ranma with her. And we all know how much he attracts female fighters. Various female villains want to ride the wild horse and Mandy having Gollum complex 'we wants ranma, no we hates Asian boy,' If these ideas help you continue writing then please use them.   

    Anyway, hope you continue your story hope to see more before April. 

    PS I nearly died when I read Alex use the excuse 'it's just the tip' she got to be the first woman to us that.

    This is an amazing story. I can't wait for the next chapter. 

     

    I was hoping that Sam would go over to Clover's house and find the monitor showing Clover, Alex and Ranma. I can only imagine the look on her face. Both of her friends have been compromised. Lol.

     

    The spies and Ranma now have one major secret they're holding from each other. Ranma's "Sister", aka the Curse, and the Spies' secret is that they're spies. Everything will come out in due time, as it does with all secret.  Ranma turning into a girl...that will be funny. 

     

    With regards to grammar, you seem to leave out an apostrophe a lot when it's need to show possession. I usually see things like "Clovers", which is basically more than one Clover, whereas it is supposed to be "Clover's".

    This is so hot! I reread this every few weeks because chapter 2 is the most scintillating sex scene ever put to digital paper. I have loved your stuff for years!Please update soon. My whole body is turning blue after these 3 months. I hate to beg or be annoying but I have no shame when it comes to this story, that's how unbelievably good it is!Also, there is something wrong with the Comic stories you wrote, most chapters only show a few lines and then cut off. I tried to reread Visitor to attempt to appease my appetite while I wait for chapter 3 of this, and it won't show most of the text. Please at least look into that so your finished works can be enjoyed.Keep writing!

    This story is the Ranma story I have been dying to read but didn't know. The scene with Alex was the most erotic thing I have ever seen. I have read it many times and it still blows my mind. Please continue this story. I am desperately waiting to see a third chapter. Your way with words and descriptions have got me hooked. I never review, but this story is worthy of all the praise I can give it.
