Synopsis

From the beloved creator of InuYasha and Ranma 1/2, the romantic (sort of) comedy Maison Ikkoku, in a new edition in its original episodic order! Travel into Japan's nuttiest apartment house and meet its volatile inhabitants: Kyoko, the beautiful and mysterious new apartment manager; Yusaku, the exam-addled college student; Mrs. Ichinose, the drunken gossip; Kentaro, her bratty son; Akemi, the boozy bar hostess; and the mooching and peeping Mr. Yotsuya. Funny, touching, and a tad off-kilter, Maison Ikkoku is the great Rumiko Takahashi at her very best. Grandma Godai comes for an extended visit and manages to meddle in Yusaku's love life at every turn. Before she leaves, Grandma brokers a dream date for her wishy-washy grandson, but the night doesn't turn out exactly as she planned ...

Author Bio
When Rumiko Takahashi was 17 years old, her interest in comics was limited to reading them and occasionally copying a character in the margins. Fourteen years later, after the runaway success of such comics series as Urusei Yatsura, Maison Ikkoku, and Ranma 1/2, she is arguably Japan's favorite comics artist, with close to 50 million copies of her books in print.
