At this time, this document covers the events of chapters 1 to 6 and
contains some spoilers for those chapters.

Notes: 

Ranma meets Akane on the day school begins at Furinkan, which
coincidentally and appropriately enough, is April 1st.

Ranma, Akane, Shampoo, Ukyou, Mousse, Ryoga and Kodachi are 17 at the
beginning of RAALS, which places them one year older than the beginning
of the manga. Ranma's birthday is in Febuary, for the purposes of this
series.

Nabiki, Kuno and Mikado are 18, and in their last year of high school.

Kasumi is 20.

Dr. Tofu is 28 or so.

Soun, Genma and Nodoka are all right around forty.

Cologne is 300, as is Happosai.

The Furinkan school year runs from April 1st to March 10th. Vacations
are March 10 to 31, July 15 to 31 and December 10 to 31. The vacation
times are not typical for a Japanese school, but then Furinkan isn't a
typical Japanese school to begin with.

Ranma and Genma left on the training trip in the July when Ranma was 4
and a half.

Ranma met Ukyou when he was 5.

Ranma underwent the cat-fist late in December when he was nearly 11. He
left Genma shortly thereafter, early in January.

Ranma left the monastery on Hokkaido about eight months later.

Ranma met Shampoo at Joketsuzoku about two or three months later, so he
would have been around 12. Shortly after, he went to Jhusenkyou, got
cursed, and left for Hong Kong.
