I'm going to be honest, I'm a huge Rumiko Takahashi fan, so I've been really looking forward to this translation of Maison Ikkoku! I love her early work, and the Urusei Yatsura volumes have been so well done. The translation is so much tighter than the previous one, and it was nice to read the story again. I look forward to getting the physical volume.

Rumiko Takahashi is a great storyteller and artist. I'm so glad Viz is putting out new editions of her work. I'm so glad Maison Ikkoku is on the list. I love the interaction between Kyoko and Godai, and the other tenents are both hilarious and annoying.
