From the creator of RANMA 1/2 and INUYASHA comes one of Rumiko Takahashi's most beloved series, the romantic (sort of) comedy MAISON IKKOKU, re-presented in a second edition in its original episodic order, with a "missing" episode! Take a trip down memory lane back into Japan's nuttiest apartment house and meet its volatile inhabitants: Kyoko, the beautiful and mysterious new apartment manager; Yusaku, the exam-addled college student; Mrs. Ichinose, the drunken gossip; Kentaro, her bratty son; Akemi, the boozy bar hostess who runs around the house in flimsy lingerie; and the mooching and peeping Mr. Yotsuya.

Yusaku's attempts to study get off to a bad start when he falls head-over-heels for the new manager, and he's a far, far way from winning her heart. For Kyoko already has somebody else on her mind...a mysterious "Mr. Soichiro," who is...her pet dog!?! Funny, touching, and a tad off-kilter, MAISON IKKOKU is the great Rumiko Takahashi at her very best.

The gang gets shipwrecked on a deserted island, Akane and Miss Hinako race to see who can learn to swim first, Ranma eats some very bad noodles, and a magical umbrella that makes those who wander beneath it fall in love adds to an already complicated situation for Ryoga.
