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://drawntohentai.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=19&sid=8b9af8be40faced7eec1e1c29c6507ab

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

EDIT
@ Deiser. She's usually referred to as the "Mirror Twin", and yes I believe we have a few Fan-Requests pinups including her (room for more if you have some good ideas). Members of our site can request pinups of whatever scene they'd like, within certain practical guidelines. It's our largest gallery by far. You get so many interesting ideas when you open doors like that! If 2 heads are better than one, then 300+ are awesome! ^_^
Now, on the other hand, if you were just looking for a less specific version of Ranma who has learned to really enjoy sex with all sorts of different people in his female body, to the point that a purely canonical Ranma would be horrified... oooh we got LOTS of that. LOL

@ banjomarx: Well sure, but skyfallen scripts tend to be nowhere near usable as they drop. Simple ideas and wishes that someone would like us to do all the work rewriting into a usable full script. If anyone has a serious idea for a script and is willing to continue working with us on it to produce it, instead of just dumping it in our laps and disappearing, we do take those kind of serious approaches quite seriously... but they're very rare.

@Masterchen None of those are questions; they're accusations based on a lack of information or mistakes on your part. If I can twist #4 into a request for actual information, a full history of our site is here: http://ranmabooks.com/mediawiki/rhw/index.php?title=Ranma_Hentai_Books

@Nights4life Really GOOD art is not cheap to produce. We are not keeping the money; it all goes to the artists we keep on retainer. Think of it as paying for 1/5th of a pinup, or 1/10th of a comic page, and getting 13 of the former PLUS 8 of the latter every month. (Or if you don't feel like working out the math: about $4000 worth of content for $25. Every month.)

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.

Base +6, Kingarthur2 -4, awesome +6, DeltaX +8, observer1980 +21

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.

Base +22, Warfox +7, Kingarthur2 +4, DeltaX +8, jfragrettel +7, coredumperror +23, Anime Janai +12, observer1980 +21

Ranma x Ranko are the best ;P

Base +5, DeltaX +8, Meiluy +6, Kingarthur2 -4, Ilyia -7, observer1980 +21

Ranma-Chan is the best :)

Base +3, DeltaX +8, Kingarthur2 -4, Ilyia +7, observer1980 +21

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...

@hinoron
Works dont just fall out of the sky?... what you mean? *holds out hand* *script falls out of sky* see? easy!

Base +7, Kingarthur2 -4, observer1980 +21

Lovely pics you've put up :3. Just wondering, is there any on your site featuring a "Miss Hyde" Ranma? Like, it's Ranko, but with the attitude of the reflection in pics 5/6?

Base +6, Kingarthur2 -4, observer1980 +21

....sigh...I have just a few questions regarding this:

1. Why does so-called "Akane's mom" look like Mizuno Ami?
2. Why Ranma 1/2 has suddenly turned into City Hunter?
3. Why does this tries just-oh-so-hard to be like Palcomix? Seriously, please, don't...ever. Palcomix is the literal toxic waste of our galaxy. Nobody ever should strive to be like them (ESPECIALLY "humor"-wise).
4. Isn't "Ranmabooks.com" basically an ex-"Ranma-hentai (or whatever it was called back in the days...damn I'm old)"?

Base +6, Kingarthur2 -4, Anime Janai +12, observer1980 +21

@Master Chen:

1. Akane's mom looks like Ami Mizuno because that's the way her official character design in the manga and anime was drawn (see http://ranma.wikia.com/wiki/Mrs._Tendo for reference.) And don't forget that Ranma 1/2 came out in 1987, while Sailor Moon came out in 1991. So if anything, it would be more accurate to say that Ami Mizuno looks like Akane's mom.

2. Akane has always used mallets in Ranma 1/2. Her first use of such a weapon was at the very end of the manga's Akane's Power-Up arc (Volume 11, Chapters 111-113). True, her mallets are of the wooden variety, but mallet-wielding girls are an old cliche and have appeared in a number of manga and anime, not just City Hunter.

Base +24, Kingarthur2 -4, Anime Janai +12, observer1980 +21

@meow_pao: Ranma 1/2 might have started in 1987, but volume 20, when she first appeared, came out in 1992. Though, I'm sure that the resemblance between Mrs. Tendo and Ami is entirely coincidental.

Base +9, ~Shyboy +7, Kingarthur2 -4, Anime Janai +12, observer1980 +21

That was really hot. I was really hoping akane'd get possessed by her mom halfway through though, lol.

Base +7, Kingarthur2 -4, observer1980 +21

@master Chen

#3 unlike palcomix the ranmabooks/defenders always listens to their feedback and the art is ever evolving, plus personally, the art is a league ahead of palcomix so I think the "tries to be like palcomix" is a none issue both reputation and humor wise :)" I think in the past the palcomix team has been used for some commissions and some fan requests but I personally haven't seen their art style been used recently (or if they had then my memory is really screwed)

#4. You'd be correct on that, it's still SHADE that's the head honcho along with deep star. They've come a long way since the gallery (to which is still up)

Base +6, Kingarthur2 -4, observer1980 +21

Damned funny! I probably spent more time laughing than wanking at the mini-story, but great art overall.

Base +8, Kingarthur2 -4, observer1980 +21

Not cool man. Charging a lot of money for a subscription. That's the reason why I lost respect for Fakku.

Base +7, plaquebringer +6, Kingarthur2 +4, LMAC +7, observer1980 +21, masterchief47 +7

@NiGHTS4life

I don't know about Fakku, but I've given subscriptions to plenty of sites from milftoon to palcomix. Ranmabooks update every weekday. Subbing to the others like Manaworld, you get one image a week, maybe two. Not a 20 images, 5 updates every week. Ranmabooks work for their 24.95 a month.

Eww, the beach picture has her mouth's outline still drawn on the front of her face, makes her look deformed when her mouth is on the side

Base +6, endings +6

I like the beach one. I love how they draw her body. Every inch of her is very detailed (Back, feet, etc). Ranma-Chan is the hottest!!! :D

Base +5

is that site still going? holy crap

Oh awesome, i hope we can get more of RHB's work on this site, it's been sorely missing for too long
