Storyline and Contents


The Story:

Ryouga Hibiki is pretty sure the world has been pissing on him lately, and it's not just the downpour that drenched him utterly (and changed him into a pig). He might have enjoyed some attention from Akane as P-chan, but she's not even home. Nor is Ranma, so a therapeutic fight is out of the question too. In fact, the whole Tendou household is away on vacation, and the only person around is Nodoka Saotome, who is housesitting for them (despite being a bit miffed that inviting her along never occurred to anyone).

After nearly losing some important body parts to a wild swing of a katana, Ryouga is able to convince Ranma's mother that he's not a burgler. Apparently she still isn't as much a part of her son's life as she'd like to be, because she grills him for more info on Ranma.

From how enthusiastically this sexy cougar starts coming on to the Hibiki beefcake (or should that be porkcake?) it's clear she hasn't seen much of her husband much recently either. After a comical chase around the house (several times; Ryouga can't find the exit) Ryouga confesses problems in his sex life, and Nodoka offers to teach him how to do it properly... by way of practical demonstration, of course! A young stud is just what Nodoka needed, for all that she sincerely intends to help him too.

Calling his girlfriend Akari over under the guise of being a sex therapist (well, being a professional one is a disguise) Nodoka “leads” the young couple through a much more successful session than their previous attempt... and if she decides to strip down and jump into the bed with them... well why not? It's not like she's charging them money!

•This was the first and only appearance of Akari in any RHB comic.
