Here you can find current monthly updates on how the poll in the Ranma 1/2 Library Suggestion Box/Voting Form is doing with regards to the different categories of Ranma 1/2 that are surveyed.

I intend to keep this poll on a yearly basis - that is, I'll collect all the votes for a given year for all the topics and present awards for the top positions in each category (i.e. 1997 "Best Ranma 1/2 Couple", "Favorite Character", etc..). Oh, and I mark the passage of a year to the date March 21, since that is when the Ranma 1/2 Library opened ^_^. Keep those votes coming in!

Kodachi Kuno says:

"Ohohohohoho! You haven't seen my Ranma-sweetums around have you? I just know that he would die to date with me, the rising star of the martial arts Rhythmic Gymnastics world. Perhaps you can help me a little. Try going to the Ranma 1/2 Mailing List Information page through the left arrow or to This Month's "Too much Ranma when.." list through the right arrow, and look for him, will you? On second thought, maybe he's at the Ranma 1/2 Library Main Page. At any rate, when you find him, give him these black roses for me, too. Ohohoho! Don't breathe in the fragrance, though - that's for my Ranma darling to do. See you later, then!"
