This was pretty funny.
The story is a slice of life romance. It's enjoyable and flows well, although slow. I can see the characters as people in real life in a show or something. They're all funny but also relatable.
This is drawn in Takahashi's iconic style. It actually is more cartoony looking than her later popular works, such as InuYasha and Ranma 1/2. I found it enjoyable and saw the basis of many of her later characters.
I would recommend this to anyone who enjoyed any of her works!

'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.

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.
