Storyline and Contents
The Story:
Whoever coined the term “battle of the sexes” surely didn't mean this! Not too long after Ranma's arrival in Nerima, before his curse was widely known, he got into an argument with Akane over which sex had the easier time. When Akane is going to be out sick for a week, Ranma sees this as his opportunity to prove his side of the argument. A bucket of cold water and a borrowed school dress later, and the “Mysterious Redhead girl” some students had noticed (mostly they noticed her unusually large chest, and the absence of a bra) hanging around is now attending Furinkan High School full-time.
Things are going great to start with; the boys all admire her, but are too intimidated to really bother her; the girls are the same, save for a bit more envy in the mix. Of course, Ranma forgot a few things, like girls underwear, and the fact that Ukyou attends school and already knows about his curse. Kunou is here too, but he's dumb enough that she can play him off the others just by making puppy-dog-eyes. Seems being a girl really IS easier!
Matters become a bit more complicated once Ranma notices that one of his best male friends, Hiroshi is actually kind of wimpy and often targeted for bullying (the bullies tended not to bother he and Daisuke when they were hanging around male Ranma; strongest fighter in school). Yes, she could just beat them up, but she is here trying to prove that life as a girl is a smoother ride than maleness. She decides to fix this situation “girl-style”! The problem, as she sees it, is that the school basically sees Hiroshi as a pathetic loser, and his self-confidence is so low that he barely disagrees. How can an extremely hot girl arrange for Hiroshi to impress both their schoolmates and himself at the same time? Well, be his girlfriend, obviously. Shouldn't be too hard; let other people see them holding hands, her leaning on his arm, brag about his amazing sexual prowess...
Of course, she didn't actually inform Hiroshi of her plan, so he thinks she's his girlfriend for real. It was a bit awkward when she was training him not to act like such a dork around hot or under-clad girls. (Let's see... stunning girl announces herself as your girlfriend in front of half the school, drags you back to a private space in her house, starts taking off her clothes... yeah, any 16 year old with a porno collection knows what happens next, right?)
Okay, so things ended up going a bit farther than Ranma-chan (who gave her name as R.C. “Arcee”) planned in the dojo with Hiroshi... okay, a LOT further, but she did get one heck of a strong argument for her stance that girls have it better! The female orgasm is quite the experience.
Okay, so the line between pretending to be Hiroshi's girl and being so seriously got blurred almost to invisibility, but what about poor Daisuke? His social standing is no higher than Hiroshi's used to be, and now his best friend, his compatriot and kindred spirit, Hiroshi, is spending all his time with his smoking hot girlfriend (can he blame him? Hell no, but it is getting lonely). “Arcee” catches the envious boy peeping on the couple having sex and realizes she's been neglecting Ranma's other best friend. Well... they can share, right?
The major problem with Ranma's strategy on living the girl life is not planning ahead. His actions have consequences, and they're about to blow up. Specifically, her own loose behaviour coupled with singing Hiroshi's praises as the perfect boyfriend are upsetting the social balance at school. Guys are expecting more out-putting girlfriends, while their girlfriends are expecting the fantasy boyfriend like Hiroshi is being made out to be. This results in a large number of relationships ending up on the rocks, and an even larger number of blue-balling guys who aren't getting even the little female attention they used to.
This might not have been the best time for the now openly dating trio to have slipped up to the school roof for a little threesome action. The Horny Horde charges in while “Arcee” is still cross-eyed in the afterglow of her last orgasm, tramples her pseudo-boyfriends and take their place while she's still to happily loopy to notice there's been a change in the usual casting. Wind her up a little farther and she's not even caring much how her pair of sextoys (er... “boyfriends”) seem to have cloned themselves and now have dozens of hard cocks for her to play with!
While “Arcee's” stamina is certainly impressive, with this many insanely horny guys lining up for their turn at her, even she can't last forever, and they're not likely to stop just because she cried enough! Who will rescue her before she ends up permanently bow-legged?

Background & Release
FLOAGS was the second narrative book released by Ranma Hentai Books through their Defender System. Its pages were posted September of 2009 through May of 2010. It's page-by-page release was paused during the Winter Olympics, so that the [Babes of Glory] feature pin-up collection could run while they were still on TV. FLOAGS was written to be released as a two part book, but the division between parts meant little when pages were being release in a steady stream.

Reception
Along with the change in distribution method from sales of a complete book to releasing a page at a time to subscribers, the old method of reviewing the whole book at once mostly became obsolete as well. Ranma Hentai Books still maintains a comments section in their forum, containing both the daily page-by-page comments and subscribers' final thoughts on the book upon its completion.
