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
