Cinderella Boy
Genre : Detective / Adventure
Ranma and Rella were a romantically
involved couple of private investigators. One night they were in what should
have been a fatal car accident but somehow their bodies were merged into
one. Now they share the same body but at different times. For 24 hours
Ranma is Ranma but at the stroke of midnight, Ranma switches places with
Rella. At the next midnight, Rella becomes Ranma. Episode 4 - The two haven't
realized they switch bodies with each other yet. Ranma has accepted a job
of finding a lost pet and is searching the sewers for it. On his way out
he runs into some thugs who accuse him of being with 'them'. Later Rella
wakes up in the sewer wondering how she got there. She goes back to her
and Ranma's place where she is contacted for a job. A large jewelry store
sold a visiting princess a very expensive necklace but accidentally delivered
a fake to her. They want Rella to make the switch before anyone notices.
When Rella goes to make the switch, the gang from the sewers, a crime boss,
the lost pet, and some royal intrigue all converge. Episode 5 - Rella eats
a huge lunch at a restaurant. At the next table, a crime boss is also having
a big lunch. The two separately order dish after dish. There is a mix up
and Rella gets a plate meant for the crime boss. After she finishes eating
a note is delivered to her, addressed to whoever ate this particular dish.
The note says the dish was poisoned and the person who ate it has only
so long to live. Rella knows that this poison was clearly meant for the
crime boss but he has already left. To get the antidote, she has to find
the assassin. To find him, she has to investigate the crime boss, find
out who his enemies are and who is most likely to try to kill him like
this. She narrows the field on who it might be but it's almost midnight.
She had just learned recently about how she and Ranma switch places so
she leaves him a video note so he can continue the search.
