false 23702 8 Poor Yusaku Godai. He's a struggling college student and resident of the dilapidated apartment building Maison Ikkoku. What's more, he's madly in love with the new manager of Maison Ikkoku, the lovely Kyoko Otonashi, who isn't all that unattracted to Godai. It's just that she's trying to deal with the recent death of her husband. This romantic tension sets the stage for all subsequent volumes of Rumiko Takahashi's charming and funny comic book soap opera and is propelled forward by both Godai's and Kyoko's inability to express their honest feelings to one another. In this first volume, readers are introduced to most of the major characters of this series, including Coach Mitaka (Kyoko's would-be boyfriend), Kozue (Godai's would-be girlfriend), and all the crazy, drunken folk who reside in Maison Ikkoku. This is the story of a young man learning to love for the first time, a young widow learning to love again, and the drunks who interfere with them. <I>--Jim Pascoe</I> 335715 2001 Maison Ikkoku, Volume 1 total:158|5:3|4:4|3:0|2:0|1:0| 158 615 199 15 5 0 false false Fri May 15 15:11:02 -0700 2009 Fri May 15 15:11:02 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Dec 10 14:00:03 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 10 14:00:54 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Sun Feb 15 11:24:01 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 15 11:26:40 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sun Aug 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 01:09:05 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 01:10:20 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2005 Fri Dec 29 14:41:04 -0800 2006 Sun Dec 31 09:20:40 -0800 2006 more...]]> 5 1 false false Tue Jun 30 22:43:49 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 30 22:46:17 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Jul 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 23 12:37:06 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 23 12:39:39 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 30 08:24:22 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 02 10:05:57 -0800 2008
