Always a fan of Rumiko Takahashi. I don't consider this one of her better offerings but I like her and enjoy her work enough that I'll keep going.

Note: I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway. But I bought Vol. 2 with my own money. ;)

Hilarious romantic comedy about a young man studying to get into college while beset by the variety of eccentrics that reside in his building. He's also in love with the house's new manager, who is wrapped up in longing for...her dog?? I read this series back when Viz first published it in the 90s and it is just as good as I remembered!

Cute and funny but that male romantic lead is a dweeb.

Huge fan of Maison Ikkoku - I originally watched the anime so wanted to read the source material. The source material is just as light-hearted and fun and at times dramatic.
