Ep. 93: Godai se gradúa y comparte sus sentimientos con Kyoko en medio de la nieve invernal

93

Kyoko walks Soichiro and remembers Godai telling her that he's been in love with her. Back at Ikkoku the tenants tell Godai that they'll have a consolation party for him if he doesn't end up graduating. Kyoko arrives just in time to ask Godai to let her know how he did. At school Godai quickly learns that he's graduated! The rest of the day is spent trying to call Maison Ikkoku to let Kyoko know how he did. Everyone is planning a "better luck next time" party and keep missing his phone calls. Everyone at the cabaret is happy to learn that Yusaku passed, and later that night he finally gets back to Maison Ikkoku to share the good news. During the party Akemi begins to argue with Kyoko again and brings up how Godai will never be able to overcome Soichiro in Kyoko's eyes. Kyoko begins to cry and leaves and Godai tries to follow but she locks herself in her room. The next day Godai goes out job hunting and meets a single father whose wife has recently left he and his son. While Godai doesn't get that job (as it was given to that father, who needed the income), he does tell Kyoko how well it went for him and she seems proud. The two discuss her memories of Soichiro and they finally have an honest discussion of how Godai has felt all these years trying to live in Soichiro's shadow. As the snow begins to fall outside of Maison Ikkoku, Kyoko tells Godai that she'll never be able to forget her husband but that she wants to make her own way together with Yusaku. They begin to kiss and turn out the lights, spending their first night together. The next morning all the tenants noticed that Kyoko is in a particularly good mood, and is even happier when Godai calls to tell her he's gotten a job at his old workplace, the Acorn Daycare. Just as he's about to propose, his pay phone runs out of money. (Source: Wikipedia)
