In recent years, anime fans have been able to discover new juggernauts of Japanese animation like Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer and Chainsaw Man.

And good news for fans of the latest anime, it will be getting its remake! The announcement was shared last Tuesday on X via a promotional video published by the manga's author: Rumiko Takahashi.
It is to this cult mangaka that we owe the excellent Lamu and Inu-Yasha. Two excellent mangas that have followed generations of readers. Ranma ½ is the second manga by Rumiko Takahashi to have had a new animated adaptation after Urusei Yatsura (Lamu). The announcement of a Ranma ½ remake comes 35 years after it first aired in Japan in April 1989. In France, the anime was very well received thanks to the Club Dorothée show on the TF1 television channel. Broadcast between September 1992 and December 1994, Ranma's adventures were a part of many viewers' childhoods. The return of the martial arts prodigy high school student should delight more than one!

Ranma ½ tells us the adventures of the eponymous character. The latter is a high school student gifted in martial arts. However, he does not live a mundane daily life. After falling into a cursed spring in China, Ranma Saotome is the victim of a unique metamorphosis: contact with water changes him into a man or a woman! It depends on the temperature of the liquid it touches. You will therefore understand that this curse will be the genesis of a good number of gags and misunderstandings around the character.
Today, it is possible to discover the manga in France thanks to Glénat editions. As for the remake, no other information has yet been revealed. But it has been announced that fans will know more on July 17, there will be a live event scheduled for 11am (French time) where several details about the remake will be announced.
