I have watched the TV series more than 10 years ago and I loved it immediately. Now I have collected all the graphic novels and it's amazing that it can still impress me. There are a few things in the story which alter from the TV version. Both versions are excellent. I strongly recommend this series. GET EM ALL!

"After rain comes fair weather..."
7 Feb 2000
Format:Paperback
You know the old proverb: "after rain comes fair weather." Well, this volume of Maison Ikkoku is very stormy (the most dramatic and engrossing volume so far), but the last few pages offer a glimpse of the sun. A lot of pent-up emotion explodes due to unfortunate circumstances, and there are some serious fighting between our favorite couple. But Godai finally stands up like a man and speaks his mind to Kyoko. It's about time! I love their scenes in the train and outside the love motel. I also love how Akemi gives Kyoko a piece of her mind. It's about time for that too! A few tibits from this volume: Mitaka shows that he's more than a playboy by doing "what must be done" concerning a pregnant dog (^_^). And Godai gets kissed by 3 different girls (two of whom are NOT Kyoko)! Perhaps the central romance, which has been kept so subdued, will finally advance onto the next level? Afterall, the last scene is right outside a love motel... Talk about a cliffhanger! I can't wait until Vol.14 (the next and final one) because I know there'll be a happy ending.

Eagerly awaiting the forthcoming conclusion
14 Mar 2000
Format:Paperback
Maison Ikkoku has been an consistently charming and witty read, more so than the better-known "Ranma 1/2" series (which isn't bad, either!). "Game Set Match" shows about 3/4's of what we voyeurs into the lives of these bumbling Tokoyo-ites have been waiting for since probably the vicinity of Vol. 3.
Unfortunately (and on purpose), it's not the most important stuff that we're shown. We're given resolutions to the Mitaka and Kozue issues but left with an incredibly unfair cliff-hanger...what will happen to Kyoko and Yusaku? Of course, it had to be arranged thusly...but it still annoys the heck outta ya to be left dangling like that.
At the time of this writing, the final issue (in trade comic form) has been in stores for a few months now. I hope that before summer hits, we'll be given a chance to sit down with a loved one and finish out this incredibly engrossing series.
(One final question...will we *ever* know exactly what it is that Yotsuya does for a living?)

Starts off slow, but goes out with a BANG!
22 Jan 2000
Format:Paperback
This is THE Maison Ikkoku book, so far, of the SERIES (and I know I've said that about every other one I've reveiwed too, but they're all so good!)! Sparks really begin to fly for Mitaka in this book in which Takahashi weaves another one of her awesome plots together piece by piece. Then the book cuts over to Godai, Kyoko, Kozue, and Akemi. Of course, how they all tie together is up for you to find out! The book has a really great emotional impact and is VERY well written and though out! The last couple pages of this book are sure to leave you screaming for more as it drops off at one of the possibly best cliff hanger endings ever! You must read Maison Ikkoku!
