Comic Art! Summer Moon: Cover - Page 004 (Patreon)

The most ambitious Ranmabooks comic ever created where Ranma-chan is shipwrecked on an island! What's a gal to do? GO SURFING! Yet it won't only be our favorite redhead making a splash! The whole gang is stranded there too with distractions abound, from bikinis to island secrets yet to be uncovered!

Summer Moon was the first Ranmabooks comic to be released in 1080p Widescreen. Now the RHB team is delighted to present this 4K UHD Edition of the comic, rebuilt from the ground up using the original character elements.

And this marks another first: the birth of THE WELCOME PLATTER! A place where the RHB team shares some of its hottest comics and pinups regardless of how much support a patron pledges.

While some art shall be rotating in and out there over time, Summer Moon shall remain available to ALL PAID PATRONS as a permanent part of this Welcome Platter!

So we would also ask a special favor: Please freely share this comic at other gallery websites to help spread the word about the Ranmabooks projects. The RHB has hit its 20th anniversary milestone in 2026. There's a new anime available on Netflix and more interest in Ranma than it has had in a long time. With each new person who supports this Patreon, the better the odds the RHB continues for the next 20 years!

Now back to the comic!

We shall introduce the full story of Summer Moon with a song!

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale

A tale of a fateful trip

That started from a Japanese port

Aboard a rich boy's ship

The star is a half-man, half-girl

The skipper is vain and sure

Eight passengers set sail that day

For a three hour tour, a three hour tour

The weather started getting rough

The rich boy's ship was tossed

If not for the courage of the fearless crew

The Bins Sense would be lost, the Bins Sense would be lost

The ship set ground on the shore of this Uncharted Isle

With Ranma

Akane too

The Rich Boy and his Gold Digger

The Okonomiyaki Chef

The Lost Boy

The Unlucky Duck

The Amazon

And Kasumi

Here on the Uncharted Isle!

So this is the tale of the castaways

They're here for a long, long stay

They'll have to make the best of things

In a sexy, sexy way!

We'll begin with a block of the Cover plus 3 story pages. Subsequently, there'll be roughly 2 new pages posted each week until the project is finished.

This will be one of the RHB's big projects for 2026 and shall receive every bit of TLC from the RHB team that we can muster! We hope you'll join us here on the island. Much love and gratitude for the continued support!
