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. Finding himself in dire straights (yet again), Godai is forced to scramble for a job after being summarily laid off from his teaching gig. Thanks to a recommendation from a friend, he embarks on a brilliant new career in "public relations"...at a strip club. In addition to the ignominy of the job itself, Godai quickly finds himself in the role of de facto daddy when one of the hostesses absconds without her children. One little boy, one little girl, and a household of drunks...the fates are certainly testing (and flagrantly taunting) our poor Godai.
