| Godai
is a ronin (i.e. someone who's failed university entrance exams) living
in room #5 of a run down apartment house called Maison Ikkoku. Among the
other residents are the nosy Ichinose (room #1), the sexy Akemi Roppongi
(#6), and the mysterious Yotsuya (#4).
The others are given to having wild parties which makes it difficult for Godai to study. Into this mayhem comes the recently widowed Kyoko as the new live-in manager. Godai falls for her, but doesn't have the nerve to tell her. The show follows their developing relationship amid the crazy goings on at Maison Ikkoku. A romantic comedy by Rumiko Takahashi |
