If you ever wanted to see a more romantic team up of Lupin & Fujiko, then this anime is the closest you’re gonna get.

Cinderella Boy is sort of a mix of Lupin the 3rd, Birdy the Mighty, Baron Ashura & Ranma 1/2. From Monkey Punch, the creator of Lupin the 3rd , brings a really odd idea for a story. Originally made as a one shot manga in 1980, Cinderella boy is about a pair of private detectives; Ranma & Rella.

Ranma(Broke Detective) and Rella(Rich, Bored Thrill Seeker) run a R&R detective agency to solve mysteries, crimes and lost pets.

Dr. Grimm who find them uses their bodies has a experiment for his future idea of saving the earth.

Viewers will witness the history and relationship of Ranma & Rella while they go on there ...

Especially the male lead, Ranma, has a very goofy side to his movements. The female lead, Rella, on the other hand doesn't bring very much to the table.
Together they're flung into an incident which alters their bodies to fuse ...
