/ Anime & Comics / The Phoenix Saga
Synopsis
Ranma is a martial artist, and a teenage boy. At least, she used to be.
After an attack leaves Ranma trapped in a feminine body she never asked for, and unable to take a hit, her life as she knew it is over. She runs from her home and her abusive father, and after spending a few months homeless in Tokyo, takes a job in a bar called the Phoenix run by a found family consisting of the bar's matriarch owner and four hard-luck women she took under her wing as teenagers. At the Phoenix, Ranma finds a place where she can be accepted and "normal," begins to deal with the trauma she's been though, and experiences the first unconditional love she's ever known. As she does so, she begins to embrace her new life as a young woman, discovers a new talent and potential career in music, and rises from the ashes of the life she once knew.

Just read 140 chapters in 2 days after finding this story. This is one the best stories I've ever read! Can't believe it's so long and so good and has so few reviews. I never really watched much Ranma, but didn't feel that I lost much while reading due to this because everything is written so well. This story is a real tearjerker. Tears of happiness and sadness. I don't think I've ever cried this much. Amazingly hit on themes: Found-family. Yuri relationship. Self-discovery and finding yourself. Battling and overcoming past demons. Self-sacrifice. Coming of age.
It's a very well written and entertaining story. I got sucked in and binged 300+ chappies in just a couple of days! It has great characters and huge amounts of growth. I am thoroughly enjoying the story and can't wait to see what happens next!
very well written and compelling story, so happy to see a good ranma fic!!!! tysm
