Summary: Intriguing Love Triange and Comedy
Review: 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.

Summary: bark, bark, bark
Review: a couple of books ago two new characters were introduced: Nozomu Nikaido and Ibuki Yagami. Well, imn this book we are introduced to another character: Asuna Kujo. Asuna Kujo is a pretty, rich, and shy girl who has been arranged a maariage with none other than Shun Mitaka. The problem is that she loves dogs, she owns six of them, and Mitaka hates dogs. Funny stuff. However, this book, although very funnt, is quite sad also. Godai and Kyoko have another falling out, and Kyoko feels like she has lost Godai's affection. This of course is due to yet another misunderstanding. This book really pulls on the heart strings. Another thing, Ikuko makes a cameo in this book, and what acutie she has become. Also this book is 280 pages not what amazon says

Summary: Best Manga storytelling ever??
Review: 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!!

Summary: the most powerful in the series to date!
Review: 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!

Summary: The turning point in Manga's Premier Romantic comedies
Review: The latest issue of the Wackiest love story ever, Reveals Godais situation, after the company that was supposed to set him up for life, set him up for a fall as the company goes bankrupt and he has to work part time just to make ends meet. The story really kicks into gear when the uncle of Shun mitaka shows up, (Sparkling smiles and aggressive dispositons, we learn in this issue, run in the family) to offer Mitaka a chance to finallys settle down and get married. Naturally, since Shun is in love with Kyoko, and the purposed fiance is a lover of dogs, he balks. But not before meeting the girl to please his family. Much to the Chagrin of Kyoko, Also having Ichinhose and the gossip group at the tennis court speculating as to when Shuns marriage date is set doesnt help much either. Soon everyone is chasing everyone else, Kyoko is chasing Shun and Godai, The Dog girl is chasing Shun and Kyoko, Godai is, as always chasing Kyoko, and Yagami and Kouzue are still chasing Godai. Yet, Beneath all the humor and misunderstandings and love triangles, This issue puts out some serious drama. Godai feels like a loser because he failed to get a decent job after graduation, Kyoko soon feels as though she has lost the affection of both Shun and Godai, and must do some soul searching. Shun Faces a long standing fear in his life, and Godai Must face the possibility, that he too, has lost kyoko, forever. Despite all the jokes and running gags, this issue is one of the most melancholy, and sobering. By the last page, ever character we know, will be changed irrevocably. I enjoyed reading this series immensely, and this novel, is the Crisis Point, in the series. This is where we truly begin to see where kyoko's preferance lies, and where Godai finally begins to develop a spine and Matures greatly. For the main turning point in The maison Ikkoku saga, I recommend this and Learning Curves. For laughs and heartrendering drama, Ive yet to read a better story then Maison Ikkoku.
