I understand that the manga is the final word, but where do you propose
poor college students who have to spend their money on food and an
occasional movie *rental* get all that expensive manga to read?  If anyone
wants to loan it to me, I'd be perfectly willing to read it and use it in 
arguments.  As it is, I'll continue to eat and have a roof over my head.
This doesn't mean I like Ranma any less.
