Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

Like any good soap opera, but unlike a lot of multi-part Japanese comics, Maison Ikkoku doesn't have to be read starting with the first volume to be enjoyed. Most of this volume focuses on the main romantic triangle between Godai, his beautiful apartment manager Kyoko, and her aggressive suitor Coach Mitaka. When Mitaka's father tries to set him up with a prospective fianceé, Mitaka takes advantage of the situation and pressures Kyoko with a hasty proposal, although it comes across more like an ultimatum. Kyoko's parents give her some free travel vouchers, whereupon she decides to take a much-needed trip. Will Godai chase after her? And if he catches up with her, will he be able to finally express his true feelings for her? --Jim Pascoe

Ingram

Does the arranged marriage of his rival, Shun, mean that ill-fated college student Godai will finally win the love of Kyoko Otonashi? Not if the handsome, loyal, (and occasionally sneaky) Shun can help it. The love triangle of Shun, Godai, and Kyoko becomes a love square in this episode of funny misunderstandings. Graphic novel format, illustrated throughout.

5.0 out of 5 stars bark, bark, bark, Nov 18 2001

This review is from: Maison Ikkoku, Vol. 10: Dogged Pursuit (Paperback)
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

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Manga storytelling ever??, Oct 4 2000

Julius (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Maison Ikkoku, Vol. 10: Dogged Pursuit (Paperback)
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!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The turning point in Manga's Premier Romantic comedies, Feb 7 2000
This review is from: Maison Ikkoku, Vol. 10: Dogged Pursuit (Paperback)
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.
