It is a fun series if you like the "detectives against the bad guys" plot, of course, the "body-switching" makes for some interesting situations for both Ranma and Rera...

Character designs maybe not be my taste, but it works with the plot. There are enough humor to keep the story going, and of course, lots of "bad guys keep shooting at the good guy / gal but keep missing them".

If you look for a good ending, then you will be disappointed... (I will let you find out on your own.)

Note: Only available on fansubs, although it is licensed by Enoki Films for North America market.
