Final Author's Notes: This is the final post to this fic and I hope you
have enjoyed it. I have a few comments I'd like to make before I go on to
the interlude this part here will act like a bridge between the to stories.
The main fic will have longer chapters by the way. And the title will be
Love Found? (Oh the question mark is part of the title.)
In this story and the way I portray her I personally pity this version of Akane really. If you take canon Ranma like Takahashi presented it Akane wasn't some crazed frothing at the mouth, psycho. She needs severe therapy in most fics I've read, I think that looking at the genre that Ranma ½ is you need to take her actions in context. I mean you don't hear people raging over how Homer Simpson is abusive to Bart when he strangles him do you. I went a couple years without seeing the anime or reading the manga Ranma ½. During that time I just read fanfic, and my attitude toward Akane was that she was a complete psycho.
Then a couple months ago I started rewatching the series, and I came to realize that if I was Akane I would have been tempted to hit Ranma with some of the things he said. And I don't think violence solves things in most situations. Ranma gets to much credit, over looking his numerable flaws. And Akane gets no credit, and her flaws are amplified to enormous proportions. But don't get my wrong I'm no knight of the true fiancée most of my favorite stories are Akane bashing ones. But I also like pro-Akane fics as well, I think people take it all a little to seriously; it's just a show. Also in the fourth chapter of this fic, my intention wasn't to say that Akane's mother was at fault. The point I was trying to make was that Akane has never gotten over the loss of her mother. She has problems with feelings of abandonment and that she also has problems with controlling her anger.
Ranma by the end of this fic has grown up immensely will Akane? That's the question and the answer will not be seen until later in the next story and Ranma's future will be shown then as well. Thank you all for your reviews and support until next time.
