Ranma Hentai Gallery

The Ranma Hentai Gallery was the largest collection of Ranma ½ hentai on the web. In an effort to curb the unapproved distribution of their original work based on Ranma ½ they moved to a new web address, Ranmabooks, and removed all the copyrighted images, fanart that was just edits of other art, the entire manga in scanned format, videos, and dōjinshi (to counter the argument that they themselves are distributing pirated stuff so why shouldn't other people pirate their works). Since they did that the site is now inferior to what it once was, though the new site is likely still the largest collection of Ranma ½ hentai images (some of the stuff that is not on the current incarnation of the site can be found on the internet archive).

In the unlikely event that someone views this post and does not know what Hentai means; it is Japanese for pervert or perverted (unlikely since pretty much everyone who comes upon this post is looking for hentai). Its usage in the English language is as a generic term to describe drawn pornographic material that is or looks to be of Japanese origin (anime, manga, doujinshi, games, and fan pictures based on anime and manga). The term for less explicit images or a less perverted person is ecchi.

I am not a large fan of hentai, but am a large fan of Ranma ½ so I have read most of the comics they have created. I've made comments on those in another post: Queen of the Night and other Ranmabook comics. I've also submitted Ranma images I've found, mostly from Japanese websites I was browsing, to them and two in which I had commissioned. One of which I am using as my profile image. I did not actually draw any. Similarly to my dislike of my fiction writing, I dislike my drawings.

The worst thing about them changing the website is the loss of the mangascans. Sure they can be found on other websites (though many other sites have since removed them as well, for example the manga in scanned format used to be available in Chinese on leftworld.net but is no longer available) and the translation is not always the best but it was convenient for looking something up. I also am saddened by the removal of the dōjinshi that they hosted but did not create. Sure they weren't wonderful but some were interesting or artistic enough and now they are very difficult to find.

Some Ranma Hentai links:

	Ranma ½ Lemon Stories Archive - Largest repository of Ranma lemons (term used in fan fiction for explicit material).
	Ranma Hentai ½ Flash Game in which your do hentai things to Ranma-onna using the pretext of a physical examination. The game is not really that good and has three endings.
