what I remember from reading it was the way each of the characters had their own thing, that those things were individual and not necessarily about each other, but which were evoked by their interactions with each other.
Yes! I love how everyone has something(s) that they're sensitive about, or that cause them a lot of problems, or whatever, and their interactions with each other sort of...bring them out (I don't want to say trigger them, that's not the right word), and *their* sensitivity brings out someone else's, and they go back and forth like that.
In the anime (I can't remember if this happens in the manga), Ryoga punches Ranma off somewhere and gets lost looking for him; when he finds him again (finally), he accuses him of being a coward and running away. Which knocks into Ranma's need to prove he's a "real man," so he's like, "No! YOU wandered off and got lost!" Which upsets Ryoga further, and it's all downhill from there.
