La Miserable (飢えたマドモアゼル Ueta madomoazeru?) is the 167th chapter of the manga and the third chapter of the Martial Arts Dining Arc. Ranma's rigorous training is not paying off. It has been a week since her last meal and with Madame St. Paul watching her she can not sneak a single bite of food. Akane disguises herself as a maid and tries to help Ranma, but Picolet's watchful eye prevents it. Ranma decides that all this work is not worth the effort and decides to change back into a guy and tell Picolet off.
