Ngl, I feel that Ryoga and Akari's relationship is very forced.
Akari is slipped in at the very last minute, so Ryoga didn't end up alone. She's too tailored to be with Ryoga, and she lacks depth as a character. Her love for him isn't very deep, and she is seemingly only infatuated with him because he defeated Katsunishiki and because he can turn into a pig.
And as for Ryoga, even with Akari being his girlfriend, he still shoves her aside to get a chance with Akane (which isn't very fair to Akari). Ryoga doesn't seem to have that deep of feelings for her as well and just keeps her around because he feels obligated to and likes the attention. He still seems to genuinely care about Akane more than Akari.
This is lowkey why I made my Ranma oc, Yukuko, for Ryoga because he doesn't have a partner he is equal with or treats well. And even though I created her specially for Ryoga, her entire world doesn't revolve around him like it does for Akari.
