If you are feeling sad and depressed, Maison Ikkoku will cheer you up. If you are in the mood for a laugh, it will have you rolling on the floor. If you're in a romantic mood, it will bring tears of joy to your eyes. And if your a broke college student like me, it might just give you some ideas for living cheaply! In other words there is something for everything in this touching and immensely funny series which just gets better with age. The story is, in some respects, very Japanese, but in a larger sense it is universal--this could happen to you, or me, or anyone. The chracters are great, the story is great, the series is just great! Go buy it now! ^_^

Student Affairs starts things off right in the thick of yet another misunderstanding that could wreck Yusaku Godai and Kyoko Otonashi's budding romance (this time, Kyoko's to blame... well, maybe Shun... or Salade, the dog).

Yet again, Yusaku finds that he needs time alone to think and, when he returns to Ikkoku House, has a confession to make... but did he make the right choice?

Kyoko decides to take a trip to clear her mind, but has a straggler trying to meet up with her at every turn (only to fail constantly through near misses).

Later chapters see the return of Yagami, back to win Yusaku's heart by any means (and willing to use crafty Yotsuya to do it).

Once again, Rumiko Takahashi manages to keep fans on edge with romantic tension thick enough to cut whilst keeping the details light, airy, and fun. She also adds more insight into Kyoko's character and why the young widow is so hesitant to follow her heart (whereever it may lead). Only one question remains (well, for those who didn't read the series in its first run)... will Shun's training pay off (aww, how cute)?

Yagami, the little school girl who loves Godai, now has forced Godai to be her tutor, but to her dismay Kyoko gets in the way everytime that Yagami tries to make advances on her "Mr.G." Also, Yagami once again confronts Kyoko about her feelings for Godai, but Kyoko in her fashion cannot be true with her feelings, which angers Yagami. Yagami then begins hurling names at Kyoko. Another wonderfil volume of Maison Ikkoku.

We know that both Godai and Kyoko are the "unlucky" people . But we also see that they get a "Happy-End" . If you feel you are in bad luck , you can see this book , you can find that you still have a chance to get your own good fortune....
