Let us consider this group of four, shall we? Let's really look at them for a moment. Before they step into this tunnel full of debauchery and corruption. Just so we can get ou bearings on them, properly.
Kasumi Tendo. The homemaker of the Tendo family. The eldest of the three sisters, who had thrown herself into making sure the home stayed upright and intact while her father suffered an emotional breakdown. Forced to grow up a bit too quickly, developing a personality that was rather demure, soft spoken, kind hearted, and projected herself as older than she really was. She had occasionally dated in her youth, but in truth, she never really felt like she had the time to pursue a serious relationship. Thus, she had never known the touch of a man beyond simply hand holding and chaste kisses. Ah! But good news was on the horizon! She was quite certain that Ranma and Akane were warming up to one another. Soon, it would be Ranma's home - and while Akane might not be as capable of homemaking, Ranma certainly didn't seem to mind picking up the slack and, with practice, Akane would be able to take on some of the responsibility herself. Quite the modern relationship, and she could hardly wait to see it play out!
Or to put it another way, the girl's body was priming up for some dick. She wasn't consciously aware of it yet, but she wanted a baby put in her pronto, and soon there would be no more reason for her not to jump feetfirst into the dating scene.
Next up - let's see, shall we do this by number of appearances in the manga? Well, according to my references, Kasumi appeared in 173 chapters of the manga. Yes, really. I have that information available to me without checking. Behold the fury of someone with an unhealthy emotional relationship with this series.
Now, I do have a good idea of what you're probably thinking. You're thinking that Kodachi's gotta be next. Am I right? Bzt, wrong! Out of the 407 chapters of Ranma 1/2, Kodachi appeared in 26... While Nodoka appeared in 36. Gosh, that's incredible isn't it? Kodachi is so often viewed as the fourth girl after Ranma, but the truth of the matter was that she didn't even come close to appearing as often as people think in the original series. Probably because the anime used her much more frequently.
Anyway, Nodoka Saotome hadn't gotten laid in about twenty years. Give or take. Around the time Ranma was conceived was her last tumble with Genma, which is a mental image we probably don't want to dwell too much upon. She'd lived a quiet life during their journey, occasionally receiving updates on Ranma's progress. No pictures, though. This was from a time before the digital age, remember. Film is expensive, and Genma? He's cheap! Anyway, Nodoka put all her hopes and all her expectations on the idea that Ranma would be a man among men, and even carried a sword with her to make her point crystal clear.
Her body was also well primed for some dick. Once she no longer had to worry about Ranma being a man among men, and once he finally got together with Akane and started producing grandchildren - well, that's the moment she'd be getting down to experimenting a bit with her husband on a few things she'd read while he was gone.
And yes, Kodachi is next, but it's a nearer thing than you'd think - we'll get to that shortly. For Kodachi Kuno, her passion was, is, and shall forever remain gymnastics. Her father had decided against letting her attend the school at which he was the Principal (which might be the nicest thing he's done to anyone, ever) and instead sent her off to an all girl's school. Which limited her contact with boys to... her brother. So you can understand why she might not want much to do with men.
Until she met Ranma. Who, let's be fair - is kinda a sex icon. In either gender, Ranma's a flat out knockout. Nabiki called him 'cute' when he first appeared, in girl form, but she might have said the same thing if he'd been a boy. 'Cuz make no mistake, Rama Saotome? He's got that effortless, feckless charisma going on. He might not know what to do with a girl once he's got her, but by god, he'll get that bait gobbled up.
Which leaves Kodachi in the awkward situation where she wants that dick, feels that she deserves that dick, but has absolutely no idea about how to get that dick beyond things that are very illegal. Like blackmail.
And lastly we have Hinako Ninomiya at 23 chapters! Which honestly puts a bit of an exclamation mark on how little Kodachi was actually used, doesn't it? One of the first characters introduced gets all of three more chapters than a character who appeared around about 5/8ths of the way into the series.
Anyway! Hinako is a character that this writer feels he has to be very, very careful about writing because her condition, uh, it kind of invites certain kinks that he feels uncomfortable with? Yes, that is the best way to put it. Her 'adult' form is definitely hot. Very hot. An extremely attractive woman. Very dominant, got some nice long legs on her, a healthy bust, and something about that attitude just makes it seem like she really should be stepping on you.
But the kid form, man. Really now. While that, ahem, younger version of her is definitely adorable, it does invite certain issues for Hinako. This isn't like a Jusenkyo curse where the entire body just shifts, just like that. No, no. Hinako undergoes a growth spurt. An instant one. She matures and then dematures in the blink of an eye, and that?
That's gonna mess up your hormones, something fierce. What's worse is that her condition is going to scare off all the men, except the creeps, and if she encounters a creep she's gonna drain them in a way they don't want. So you can see her bind here.
The point of the matter is: These girls might not seem like it, but they're as thirsty as a man dying in the middle of Death Valley. They really might not seem like the sort, but they wanted a man, they wanted it bad, and even though they all had a particular man in mind, the fact of the matter is... It would take less than you'd think to change their mind about it.
Anyway, this quartet was stepping into the tunnel. A ghost popped out of nowhere, and then -
"Happo Go Ensetsu!"
In an instant, Hinako had drained the ghost. She'd developed into her more mature form - and would be staying as such for the rest of the story, or at least until someone forgets and causes her to revert.
"My word, I'll never get used to that," Nodoka said. "It's quite the martial arts technique!"
"Hrmph! It's a troublemaking technique if you ask me!" Kodachi sniffed. "Ah! Mother Saotome, mind the bats!"
Nodoka ducked as a bat flew overhead, and dropped a vial on the ground right at everyone's feet. It shattered on the spot, and then - A faint mist drifted up, right into the noses of all four of them at once.
"Oooh, it's rather warm in here isn't it?" Kasumi said, fanning herself down. "Gosh, I feel so... Warm all of a sudden."
"There seems to be a closet over here," Hinako said. "It's full of skimpy bikinis."
Now, one might imagine that the four of them would question this. They might, for example, decide against taking off their clothes in the middle of this mystery cave, then put on these mystery skimpy bikinis, but no, they all went for it right away.
"My word Kasumi," Nodoka said. "I must admit, you have such an alluring figure. How don't you have a boyfriend yet?"
"I've not been looking," Kasumi replied. "Perhaps I ought to...?"
"Just so long as you do not cast your gaze upon my Ranma!" Kodachi jeered. "Your sister is hassle enough to contend with. For you..."
Her eyes roamed Kasumi's, and no matter how delusional the Kuno family might be some things were beyond denial. Kodachi's not got a bad body by any means, but comparing hers to Kasumi's is like comparing a chicken nugget to a juicy steak. Both are nice, but one is normally going to be preferred over the other.
As for what they were wearing? Well, let's see shall we? The four of them had completely bypassed the more normal bikinis and gone for something a bit more scandalous. The sort of thing they would not normally wear if they hadn't been exposed to a - and I must emphasise this adjective - mild aphrodisiac. Yes, mild. It was not their most powerful in stock, they'd been using that up on the other two groups that had ventured in already.
Anyway, what did this mean? Well, Kasumi had gone for a quite daring design. Around her breasts was a modest bra, but to the middle of it there was a hooked piece of cloth that went down her front, in between her legs, then up her back to hook into where the bra's hook went. Thus meaning the whole thing was being kept in place by a three way clasp, and you'd best believe that precious little is, at present, left to the imagination here.
Kodachi had gone for a black and white dental floss bikini. There was a very thin white string in between her black bra coverings, holding them together, while another white string went up around her neck, then wrapped around her body and looped into her bikini bottoms which made it seem like the whole thing was being barely held on, but actually it was pretty secure.
Hinako had selected a high waisted thong model, alongside a bra that looked like white tape had been wrapped around her chest. It might seem simple compared to the others, but let me remind you at this time - Hinako Ninomiya's body in this form was worthy of modelling.
As for Nodoka? She went for a onepiece suit that had an even higher waist on it than Hinako's, and a heart shaped boob window to put her cleavage prominently on display.
"Gosh, I hope we encounter a cute guy down here," Hinako said. "I'm feeling... frisky today."
