A special set of high-quality pinups released for deliberate sharing! Please repost freely! Also please do NOT report as "Forbidden"! Ranmabooks.com is sharing these intentionally (I am on the RHB staff). Our other proprietary content remains on the Do Not Post list; these will be exceptions, and clearly marked as such.

Ranma Hentai Books has a very large and ever-growing collection of Ranma 1/2 comics, pinups, and comic shorts; all original art from some very talented artists we keep on retainer! All in English, and full colour, and full of comedy of the type Rumiko herself might have approved of had she a much dirtier mind! ;)

Ranma Hentai Books follows a not-for-profit model that pays artists sufficiently for their work that they can draw for a living rather than just a hobby. Every dollar subscriptions earn goes to support the artists, so more subscriptions just means more art! We call our subscribers Defenders because they are protecting the creation of future top-notch Ranma 1/2 hentai!

Come see what we're working on now, at http://ranmabooks.com/DefenderTour.php !

Finally, apologies that the current gallery is temporarily small. More are coming on a regular basis, I assure you! ;)

2 pics is pretty lame.

@ BDG420
We'll be adding more every week, so rather than vote on the number of pics, why not vote based on their quality? ^_-

@the phantom limb
We do actually aim for as wide a variety as feasible, but there are practical limitations. Our big showcase, narrative books (one of the most recent --"Queen of the Grill"-- starred Ukyou, just FYI) take a lot of time to produce, and workable scripts don't just fall out of the sky. Our fan request pinups are entirely up to the fans as to who to feature and how to depict them; we can't really "balance" those. Regular characters in the series do have a tendency to see more page time than the more irregular ones; the Tendou sisters are in the primary setting, so they get a bit more attention (and fanbase interest) in part for the same reasons they had more screentime in the original series. As for favourable/unfavourable depictions of characters... I think we mostly stay in the ballpark of how the majority of fans see them, though that's up to personal interpretation, like most anything else. We do our best to avoid or offset exactly what you've complained of (and most would actually say we do pretty well, and better than most) but what we've found, down through the years, is that Lincoln put it very well (though I must paraphrase for context): "You can't please all of the people all of the time". So we do our best and settle for "Most of the people".
Our forums would probably be a better place to discuss/debate this back and forth than here. http://cpmlink.net/yG6NAQ

EDIT
"Reclass Western"? (from Doujinshi) Huh. That surprised me a bit. It's a Japanese series we parody, though in hindsight I conceed all our actual artists are scattered (broadly) across the western hemisphere (more in South/central America than you'd probably expect) though I wouldn't have thought people were aware of that, since we keep them anonymous (at their request; keeps them from being bothered with constant commission requests they have no time for). :P

@artisticSkaz & Espom
Actually, it does depend a bit where on the site you're looking. We have some PUBLIC galleries, sorted by character, which did indeed come from all over the Internet, from years ago. That was from back when (199x-2002-ish) we were known as the Ranma Hentai Gallery, and our only objective back then was to collect every Ranma hentai image into one place for fans of the series to easily find them. Of course, not every image found on the internet was intended for public availability by the artist, so we shifted Modus Operandi to something more respectful, and added Artist Galleries. All images in the Character galleries for whom the artist could be identified and contacted were either moved to their own sub-gallery (so they could receive full credit for their work) or if they so requested, removed from our site entirely. There's still quite a lot left in the public Character galleries; unclaimed art that's been all over the Internet. All pretty old stuff, to be honest (those galleries haven't been added to in ages) but it has a home with us so you know where to find it if you want it. At this same time we were taking art donations from willing artists who were fine not being paid for art they already drew, but (very reasonably) wanted credit for it. The Artist galleries grew for some years this way. These days we only have a couple artists still donating, and irregularly at that.
From about 2006 onward (when we reinvented ourselves again, as Ranma Hentai Books) our complete focus has been on creating NEW comics and pinup art, commissioning the work from various artists who are amiable to the idea of being paid enough to draw for a living. To do that of course, we naturally need to sell the books or accept subscription fees for access to the content. That's been our not-for-profit business model since 2008. Only artists get paid at RHB. If profits are up, we commission more art. We're not in it to get rich; we're in it to create more Ranma hentai!
Everything we did not write, produce, commission, and draw is over on the public side of the site, free to anyone (as well as a few extra things we DID make, for one reason or another). We do NOT take money for art we did not ourselves create. Never have, never will. If we were shady or dishonest about anything, we would never have lasted this long. ;)

If you DID see something from behind our password wall elsewhere on the Internet, that's OUR work which someone else has stolen. -_- Before we switched from book sales to subscriptions, our purchase-to-downloads ratio was about 1:30. We were getting badly hosed that way. T_T

I look forward to seeing more!

The dialogue in the second image sounds like the sort of thing you'd see in one of the characters silly fantasies. In this case Shampoo.

My problem with Ranma Hentai Books is that there's such an uneven, slanted lineup on that site when it comes to the Ranma girls. Too much attention to Kasumi, Nabiki and Kodachi, too little attention to Ukyo, too favorable a depiction of Shampoo, too unfavorable a depiction of Akane. It's why I can't bring myself to spend money on that site again. It just frustrates me far too much.

In case anyone's curious:

Images 1 and 2 are based on the manga's Cursed Mirror arc (Volume 35, Chapters 367-370) where a magic mirror creates a duplicate of Ranma's female form.

Images 3 and 4 are based on the Reversal Jewel arc (Volume 22, Chapters 230-233) where a magic medallion reverses Shampoo's feelings for Ranma.

Ranma x Ranko are the best ;P

Ranma-Chan is the best :)

Talk about advertising.

By the way, i visited your site. Lots of stuff with quite varying art styles. One could assume it's just taken from the internet and now offered for a paid subscription.

@artisticSkaz, or you know, they just have multiple artists working under them and are known for original content from their site for years now...
