'Maison Ikkoku Collector's Edition, Vol. 1' with story and art by Rumiko Takahashi is a romantic comedy set in a shared apartment building.

Student Yusaku Godai lives in a building with some very eccentric people. The beautiful young woman who runs the house has caught Godai's eye, but there is something going on in her life that makes her not interested. The stories here show a series of comedy of error missteps in their attempt to have a relationship.

I really enjoyed this story. The characters are comical, and the art is really fun. I like where this story is going and I would definitely read more.

I received a review copy of this manga from VIZ Media and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this manga.

Rumikos slice of life holds a special place in my heart and I’m excited to read it again! I love Kyoko, one of  her best. Her and Godai are cute.

Love Rumiko Takahashi but much prefer Ranma 1/2 or Inuyasha. Male lead didn't keep my interest.
