These short stories expand upon the world of *Ranma ½*, offering episodic glimpses into its comedic universe. The first OVA follows Shampoo and Ukyo as they embark on a journey to a mythical cave known for dissolving romantic bonds, each harboring personal motivations linked to Ranma and Akane's complicated relationship.

The second features a mischievous Oni escaping confinement and wreaking havoc by possessing individuals in a residential area, reminiscent of classic supernatural scenarios. The third story introduces an animated doll with a penchant for retribution, targeting Ranma after he disregards it. Possessing Akane, the doll relentlessly attempts to inflict consequences on him through playful yet perilous attacks.

Reviews:

User starshinesMonet (Score: 8/10):
Though not as funny as the first three OVAs, these are definitely fun and well worth watching. Ukiyo, Ryoga, and Shampoo fans will enjoy the first episode and fans of the Ranma/Akane pairing will love the tenderness in the last arc. Kasumi fans will enjoy to third arc best, but there is always something for everyone here. The background music and OP/ED themes were also very good (as always with Ranma 1/2) for this set.
