Comic Art! Summer Moon: Pages 015-016 (Patreon)

Akane leads Ranma on a merry chase through the island jungle… and gets cornered a little TOO easily. 😉

Production notes:

Remastered in 4K UHD.

Numerous art fixes.

Complete background replacement.

We are including the original SM-15 and SM-16 for reader comparison in the attached archive. SHADE prefers that we not share the entire original SM book in these posts since that can be read on Ranmabooks.com for those who are interested in it. Yet in this special case, we felt that the leap in quality dramatically showcases how vastly improved the 2026 Edition of the comic really is and why the investment is worth it. 😊

Akane's "Beautiful" body and face were questionable on page 16, despite Ranma's claims. We've redesigned her for a more inviting, sensual expression that better fits SHADE's vision for this moment.

Dialog Balloon and text has been redone, which should result in easier reading.

Until next time patrons, thanks for reading our comic! As one of the RHB's big projects for 2026, Summer Moon shall receive all the 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!

REMINDER: Be sure to check the attached archive for the absolute best quality images with no compression! And 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!
