Queen of the Night, Parts 1 & 2

Introduction
Queen of the Night is an original, full-colour English Ranma hentai manga, produced by Ranma Hentai Books, released two parts due to its length, in June and July of 2008, respectively.

Storyline and Contents
The Story: Part One:

Thanks to his school friends putting him up to it, a very reluctant Ranma is sent to a strip club with a fake ID to investigate a rumor that a girl from Furinkan High School dances there. After a half-dozen crossover cameo girls strut their way across the stage, leaving Ranma incredibly bored (“I have my own boobs, thanks”) the evening's main event finally hits the stage! Holy crap! It's Nabiki!

...And she is GOOOOOOD at this! No wonder the audience is going nuts for her!

After a very steamy show and lapdance, Ranma meets her after closing. She explains how she's peeling for college cash, and he explains the rumour going around the school, promising to refute it. Nice guy, isn't he? Nabiki decides to coerce his silence anyway, but he stops her from taking things too far... uh... a blowjob from your fiancee's sister isn't “too far” right?

Part Two

Nabiki has enlisted Ranma-chan to help her double her earnings at the strip club. What's hotter than a sexy teen girl steaming up the stage? Why two girls, of course! But this isn't just a game, no. Stripping is serious. It's going to take even Ranma Saotome of Anything-Goes a full week of intense training to master these new katas!

Then of course, the show! And oh what a show it shall be!

After a week of massively profitable performances, the duo announce their retirement. Unfortunately, some of their sketchier fans aren't willing to let them go so easily... particularly not with the insane amount of cash Nabiki must be carrying home in her purse, and surround the girls in the park! My... these goons look strangely familiar, don't they? Nabiki isn't willing to just sit back and let Ranma defend her hard-won cash however. Nabiki knows martial arts? She's just full of surprises these days!

After the fight, the two ride the adrenaline rush into resolving the sexual tension between them that's been building these last few weeks, right there in the park, on the park bench, on the stone path, and even the swing set...

...Hey, it was a LOT of sexual tension built up, okay?

Trivia
Queen of the Night Part 1

•On page 3 there is a cameo by Neon Genesis Evangelion babe Misato Katsuragi as a stripper at the Pink Kitty.

•On page 4 there are four cameos:

1. Naga from Slayers.

2. Urd from Ah! My Goddess!

3. Lina Inverse from Slayers.

4. Rei Ayanami from Evangelion.

•On page 13, Ranma says "Resistance if futile." This is a famous quote from Star Trek's villainous Borg.

Queen of the Night Part 2

•In Ranma's first stripping performance at the club, she dances in a kitty outfit that Nabiki picked out for her.

This is an ironic choice since Nabiki was training Ranma to be fearless on stage, but places her in the guise of a cat, something Ranma is petrified of.

•On page 19, the gang is composed of goons from various anime. Most notably, Bebop and Rocksteady of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fame appear in their human form.

•On page 23, Nabiki uses the famed Happo Daikarin on the gang leader.

It's impressive that Nabiki, with her limited martial arts knowledge, could have learned the so-called "ultimate technique" from Happosai. Then again, how hard is it really to throw fireworks on people?
