ตอนที่ 1: โอตานาชิ คโยโกะ ปรากฏตัวและโกไดสอบตกหลังจากตกหลุมรัก

1

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)
