Summary
Acclaimed author Rumiko Takahashi’s classic romantic comedy about finding your path in life。
Yusaku Godai didn’t get accepted into college on the first try， so he’s studying to retake the entrance exams。 But living in a dilapidated building full of eccentric and noisy tenants is making it hard for him to achieve his goals。 Now that a beautiful woman has moved in to become the new resident manager， Godai is driven to distraction！
Believing that Godai has proposed to Kozue， Kyoko leaves Maison Ikkoku and moves back into her parents’ apartment。 Will Godai be able to convince Kyoko—and her parents—that he’s the man she should marry？

I loved this series so much。 Despite all the drama and Godai consistently making more misunderstandings， this was a beautiful end to a wonderful series。 I’ll miss these characters so much。

Una degna è commuovente conclusione！ È stato come fare una corsa sulle montagne russe ma alla fine tutto è bene quel che finisce bene！ Almeno in questa storia la maestra Takahashi ci ha regalato delle scene bellissime e che aspettavamo con ansia di Kyoko e Godai e un finale con la F maiuscola

J'ai pleuré avec ce dernier tome。 J'ai essayé de lire le plus lentement possible。 Ça a été une jolie fin pour l'histoire de la maison Ikkoku。 Ça m'a rassuré sur l'excellence du travail de Rumiko Takahashi。 Godai et Kyoko vont me manquer。 J'ai pleuré avec ce dernier tome。 J'ai essayé de lire le plus lentement possible。 Ça a été une jolie fin pour l'histoire de la maison Ikkoku。 Ça m'a rassuré sur l'excellence du travail de Rumiko Takahashi。 Godai et Kyoko vont me manquer。 。。。more

Akhirnya semua berbahagiaSebuah karya yg epic dari Takahashi sensei。 Karya lawas jadi wajar artwork sensei belum "secanggih" Inyuasha， Rinne hingga Mao。 Mengusung slice of life rom com nan manis。 Dengan keseharian para penghuni kos2n yg beragam ulah ini， sangat menyenangkan untuk tenggelam menyimak serial ini。 Karya ini diperuntukkan dewasa， wajar hingga akhirnya hubungan Yusaku dan Kyoko pun sampai ke sana （hho）。Selain Yusaku-Kyoko， karakter2 macam Ichinose-Akemi_Yotsunoya pun sangat menghibur。 Akhirnya semua berbahagiaSebuah karya yg epic dari Takahashi sensei。 Karya lawas jadi wajar artwork sensei belum "secanggih" Inyuasha， Rinne hingga Mao。 Mengusung slice of life rom com nan manis。 Dengan keseharian para penghuni kos2n yg beragam ulah ini， sangat menyenangkan untuk tenggelam menyimak serial ini。 Karya ini diperuntukkan dewasa， wajar hingga akhirnya hubungan Yusaku dan Kyoko pun sampai ke sana （hho）。Selain Yusaku-Kyoko， karakter2 macam Ichinose-Akemi_Yotsunoya pun sangat menghibur。 Tak lupu Pak Mitaka serta Kozue Nanao dan Ibuki yagami memberikan waran dalam perkembangan hubungan duo MC ini。Overall 8。0/10 menurut saya 。。。more

I’m probably not the best qualified to review this book in its own genre， i。e。 rom-com， since I do think it’s the first I’ve ever read in my life which hardly makes me an expert。Well， I’ll try anyway but be warned there’ll probably be spoilers all along the way。The story in a nutshell: Yusaku Godai a shy and loser-type student falls in love at the first sight of Kyoko Otonashi， the new manager of Maison Ikkoku， where he resides。 Problem is the beautiful young woman is a fresh widow- after a 6 mo I’m probably not the best qualified to review this book in its own genre， i。e。 rom-com， since I do think it’s the first I’ve ever read in my life which hardly makes me an expert。Well， I’ll try anyway but be warned there’ll probably be spoilers all along the way。The story in a nutshell: Yusaku Godai a shy and loser-type student falls in love at the first sight of Kyoko Otonashi， the new manager of Maison Ikkoku， where he resides。 Problem is the beautiful young woman is a fresh widow- after a 6 months marriage with her first love- and she can’t come over it。 The indecisive young man will have the greatest difficulties – 5 years in all！！！- to achieve his goal of marrying the love of his life。 I suppose the book has all the elements of a classic rom-com （I don’t read them but， hey！ I’ve got a TV set！）。 A beautiful young woman with a failure in her heart （Kyoko） ， a poor shy young man too indecisive to declare his feelings （Yusaku）， a handsome and socially elevated rival （Shun）， a satellite love interest （Kuzoe）， and parasitic elements that create more mischief than they help （Ichinose， Akemi， Yotsuya， Ibuki）。I obviously liked many things in this book though it’s not flawless。First the characters – Kyoko and Yusaku are the shining stars of course。 Far from perfect both of them: Though fundamentally a nice person Kyoko can reveal herself very jealous and temperamental， stubborn and uptight to the highest degree。 Yusaku is the nicest guy around but so pathetically indecisive and a bit of a coward you want to kick his ass to help him make his move all the time。 But I’ll tell you what: I LOVED them。 The other residents （Ichinose， Akemi， Yotsuya） are of the highest nuisance but so fun you forgive them。 Easier if you’re not Yusaku though， eternal subject of their teasing。 Nikaido， entering stage later， has no particular use。 Shun the rival is not particularly interesting and honestly not a real threat to Yusaku。 His gentlemanly manners towards Kyoko and in the end Asuna truly save the character。 He is a rival， not a villain。 Kozue and Asuna are cute and all but so dense in their own ways they fall from the mark to be totally credible。 Both will be very important to lend to the conclusion though。Ibuki is the wildcard of the lot。 Her storyline is not really great but its conclusion is interesting because she confronts Kyoko with her fears。So I think there’s more than meets the eye with this wild bunch。 Beyond the stereotypes they either show more personality than expected or finally add something to the plot in an interesting way。More plot-wise: Rom-com equals gags of course and I’ll say I’ve been wonderfully surprised by how many times I smiled， sometimes even laughed a bit， reading it。 If you knew me you’d know that’s no small feat because I’m usually considered as a particularly bad audience when the term “comedy” is used。 So I smiled。 A bit of heavy-handed slapstick humor but not too much and so improbable and stupid situations and quid pro quos that I couldn’t help it。 I actually found it funny。 I’m still surprised myself。 Rom-com equals romance。 The question is not to see if Kyoko and Yusaku will get together but how -through trials and ordeals – and when - FIVE fuckin’ years later！！ Considering the span of time you can tell there are lengthy and not useful passages。 Kyoko’s true inclination between Shun and Yusaku becomes more and more obvious around 1/3rd of the book （160 chapters）。 Shun comes and go from the plot after a while so he’s not a constant threat （same goes for Kozue by the way）。 Around chapter 100 no doubt is permitted anymore so his later insistence on proposing Kyoko falls a bit flat because the reader already knows it’s too late for him。 As I said earlier the whole Ibuki line is nothing but delay toward the inevitable。 She is never a threat to Kyoko and only serves to show Kyoko’s own indecisiveness and incapacity to definitely mourn her late husband。 It could have easily been halved。 Instead Kozue is not used enough in her potential capacity to actually be a threat。 True， her role （and Akemi’s） is determining in setting off the final series of events but she came so out of left field it felt a bit irreal。 As for the run of Nikaido， his childish fights with Yotsuya are rather funny but don’t help the plot progress one bit。 So， if overall very good the plot has some issues and the 160 chapters could easily be reduced of a quarter to better focus on the main plot。I wouldn’t want to forget mentioning the terribly conservative view of love relationships: Any relationship must end in marriage – No relationship can be envisioned if the man doesn’t have a situation （which explains the 5 bloody years）。 Shun actions towards Asuna in the end are stupefyingly noble。 Is it all due to a specific Japanese culture？ And more so in the early 80’s ？ I don’t know。 Some peculiarities in relationships are probably typically Japanese but the marriage/situation thing is worldwide I think。 Anyway， I really appreciated the way Kyoko and Yusaku finally become lovers。 You’d think these two would fail to the very end。 I found the way they each deal with their own failures， frailties and insecurities very touching and sensible。 Just a note for my fellows French readers: I happened to skim-read key moments of the book in the French translation and it’s simply ATROCIOUS。 I can’t judge from reading the book in Japanese of course but compared to the English version some key dialogues are terribly mitigated when not meaning something completely different。 The last moments before Kyoko and Yusaku finally make love simply don’t have the same intensity and poignancy。 I honestly wonder if French editors didn’t dampen the translation because the book was targeted for female teenagers。 The English version is more mature and credible so if you can， go for it。 As I said in my former review of volume one I had seen the whole anime from this book in the late 80’s when I was myself a teenager and let’s be honest， I felt close bonds with loser Yusaku so it stirred something in me at the time。 So yes， this review is probably biased from teenage memories。 But I’m not a teenager anymore， I have thousands of books and comics and mangas under the belt so I’ll assume I also appreciated it for what it is: A perfect example of good rom-com which is going to be my standard-meter if I ever happen to read another one。 。。。more
