Main characters of Ranma 1/2
Cursed Springs of Jusenkyo

Alot of the comedy of Ranma 1/2 comes from the fact that some of the characters have curses on them as a result of falling into the springs of Jusenkyo. The character that falls into a certain cursed spring turns into whatever when cold water is poured in them, hot water can reverse this effect but it cannot cure these characters. 

Ah sirs and madams, you want to know about the tragic springs and who fall in? I tell you the story... there are too many people that come to Jusenkyo these days but here is a quick guide in table.
