nihongo|"Tokimeki Tonight"|ときめきトゥナイト|Tokimeki Tunaito is a manga series by Koi Ikeno which ran in the Japanese manga magazine "Ribon" from July 1982 through October 1994. ("Tokimeki" is Japanese for "exciting.") A TV anime series, directed by Speed Racer's Hiroshi Sasagawa, was adapted from the manga and was broadcast on NTV from October 7, 1982 through September 22, 1983.

Plot Overview

Ranze Eto (her given name is also Romanized as "Ransie" or "Ranzi" in some non-Japanese version) may look like your average Japanese teenage girl, but in reality she lives in an extraordinary situation. Her mother is a werewolf, and her father is a vampire. Ranze has special powers of her own: for example, whenever she bites anything, she can change herself into a carbon copy of that object, whether it's another person or an inanimate object such as a piece of bread. Only by sneezing can she return to her normal self.

On Ranze's first day at her new school, she meets and falls in love with the brash yet handsome young athlete Shun Makabe (Paul in the Italian version). The chief problem with this is that Ranze's parents will not allow her to date a human - although there may be much more to Shun than meets the eye. On top of this, Ranze also has a bitter rival in the pretty but spiteful Yoko Kamiya (Liza in the Italian anime), the daughter of a yakuza boss, who is also in love with Shun and doesn't take kindly to Ranze intruding on her turf.

Last anime episode

The anime series ended years before the manga, so the writers had to craft an original ending. This leaves the story open-ended. In the last episode it is discovered Shun has a star birthmark, proving he is actually the long lost prince of the Demon World. Ranze is thrilled by the news, meaning she'll be able to marry him. However when confronted by the King, Shun denies being the long-lost-prince and claiming the star as just a bruise. The King bans the Eto Family from the Demon World until they can bring back his long-lost-son. When Shun returns home, his mother reveals the star is actually a birthmark. The following morning Shun tries to Ranze on the way to school, but Yoko ends up interrupting the conversation. The series closed with a special ending, with not only Ranze but the main cast dancing in cloaks to "Super Love Lotion".
