There are a lot of topless women and jokes about either intentionally or accidentally peeping on topless women, though. As well as at least one pervert joke character. I’m not sure I’d call it a sex comedy, and certainly not a transgender sex comedy, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say there’s “[not] even a hint of sex.”
Which isn’t a bad thing, it’s all well-written and funny, I’m just saying that it is definitely a little racy.
You're right, there's a lot of topless panels and accidental groping is a stock joke. I guess I've been Overton Window'd by trannies getting banged in Playstation games.
It does make me think about how much sexuality is age-appropriate, as Ranma's fanbase had a ton of kids in it, including myself. On one hand you have cute girls, occasionally topless, and on the other hand there are no allusions to intercourse. In my mind it hit the right tone.
Like I said it was tame for japan. Consider in roughly the same time period we had city hunter running in it's rival shonen magazine. The same city hunter with its jokes about big dicks and lecherous humour, sex and trannies and hos.
It's not American tame but it's pretty tame for japan at the time
