From the creator of RANMA 1/2 and INUYASHA comes one of Rumiko Takahashi's most beloved series, the romantic (sort of) comedy MAISON IKKOKU, re-presented in a second edition in its original episodic order, with a "missing" episode! Take a trip down memory lane back 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 who runs around the house in flimsy lingerie; and the mooching and peeping Mr. Yotsuya.

More About the Author
The spotlight on Rumiko Takahashi's career began in 1978 when she won an honorable mention in Shogakukan's annual New Comic Artist Contest for Those Selfish Aliens. Later that same year, her boy-meets-alien comedy series, Urusei Yatsura, was serialized in Weekly Shonen Sunday. This phenomenally successful manga series was adapted into anime format and spawned a TV series and half a dozen theatrical-release movies, all incredibly popular in their own right. Takahashi followed up the success of her debut series with one blockbuster hit after another--Maison Ikkoku ran from 1980 to 1987, Ranma 1/2 from 1987 to 1996, and Inuyasha from 1996 to 2008. Other notable works include Mermaid Saga, Rumic Theater, and One-Pound Gospel.

Smile Again!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Maison Ikkoku, Volume 7: Intensive Care (Paperback)
Have you ever read one of those books that just makes you hug yourself and chirp with glee? Well, this is one of them! For those of you who have been going through the series, I can tell you that this book has one of the most wonderful moments thus far. It makes you smile and say to no one in particular "Yeah. Its all going to be all right now. I know it."

Renew yourself at Maison Ikkoku!,

This review is from: Maison Ikkoku, Volume 7: Intensive Care (Paperback)
Every time I read any of the Maison Ikkoku books I feel better. It's funny, but I just can't help it. When I've lost my faith in men, I turn to this volume. When I'm sad, or I'm angry, or I feel like I need a laugh, it almost seems like the whole gang from Maison Ikkoku is there, trying to cheer me up. Try this series; you might like it!

The magic of page 27,
By
This review is from: Maison Ikkoku, Volume 7: Intensive Care (Paperback)
Another great graphic novel by Rumiko Takahashi. The wall that Kyoko built around her heart to protect the love of her deceased husband begins to crumble in this book. No, that does not of course mean that she is starting to care less for Soichiro, but it means that her love for Godai is starting to show. This happens on page 27. Kyoko feeling guilty for being the reason that Godai broke his leg takes care of him in the hospital, and on one of their walks, Godai drops a crutch and he falls into Kyoko's arms such a moving scene. Sadly, this scene is interupted when a Mitaka arrives at the hospital. He has broken his leg as well, so the love triangle moves into the hospital for a bit. A very good book with some very funny chapters, but I believe the chapters that will stick with the reader more are those that shows Kyoko's love for Godai begin to bloom. Man, I'm becoming sappy in my old age. hehe
