1화: 오나타시 교코가 등장하고 고다이는 연애에 빠져 시험에 떨어진다

In a quiet neighborhood in Japan, stands Maison Ikkoku, a weary apartment. Yuusaku Godai, one of the residents there, has had enough of his weird and horrible housemates—Akemi Roppongi, Yotsuya, Hanae Ichinose and her son Kentarou Ichinose. As he finally decides to pack his bag and move out, he meets Ikkoku's new manager, Kyoko Otonashi, and instantly falls in love with her. Godai's attempts to study for his exam and also to impress Kyoko prove futile and take him no where except that he fails his eligibility practical exam. (Source: Maison Ikkoku Wikia)
