| | ICv2 News - Monkey Punch Has A Ranma Too (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18) |
 | | It's a good thing that manga artist Monkey Punch (Kazuhiko Kato) doesn't work for the New York Times, and that the Japanese are not as litigious and quick to protect the names and attributes of their creations as are Americans. |
 | | The Anime News Service is reporting that Cinderella Boy, a new anime series created by Monkey Punch that will be broadcast in Japan starting in June, features a main character named Ranma, who just happens to turn into a woman (at the stroke of midnight, hence the Cinderella reference). |
 | | Of course all good manga and anime fans realize that this is hardly the first time that Monkey Punch has "swiped" a character without bothering with a license. |
