Customer Reviews

Best Manga storytelling ever??

I heard from the grapvine that Maison Ikkoku was one of the greatest love stories ever written! I wasn't really into that kind of manga until I bought MI Dogged Pursuit paperback just for the heck of it. The whole story revolves around a college boy (Godai) trying to find a real job, and at the same time win the affections of his beautiful manager Kyoko. The most fascinating part of MI though is the minor characters that come betweem Godai and Kyoko, which results to probably the funniest and heartwarming story I have ever read! Manga or any other literature! Takahashi scores huge on this series!!

the most powerful in the series to date!

I stumbled across Maison Ikkoku at my comic shop one day. I had some extra bucks and picked it up. That was only about 3 or 4 months ago and I'm glad I had that extra money! This is the BEST Maison Ikkoku manga to DATE! (except I haven't read Student Affairs, Hounds of War, or Game,set,match.. hehe) This is one of those page turners! Rumiko Takahashi at her best! You MUST read MI if you're a true manga fan or a true takahashi fan!

Intriguing Love Triange and Comedy

A very nice story that can be created by Rumiko Takahashi only. In this tenth book, young Godai faced a lot of problems: loosing his future job, expressing his feelings for Kyoko, and dealing with his agressive love rival. On the other hand, Mitaka, the rival, was lead into another trouble by his match-maker uncle. Incidents after incidents happened, and finally a misunderstanding occured, which forced Godai to pursue his dream girl at her "run-away" vacation. Would he ever be able to find her? Or moreover, could he finally be honest with himself and her? The answer can be found in this facinating novel. Suggestion: Read the series in order if you want to fully understand how the storyline goes.
