Maison Ikkoku

In the town of Clock Hill stands Maison Ikkoku, an aging boarding house where “quiet” is more wish than reality. Yuusaku Godai, the most reserved of the tenants, is worn down by the nonstop noise and rowdy antics of his neighbors and decides it’s finally time to move out so he can study in peace.

Everything changes when he meets the new manager, Kyoko Otonashi. Captivated by her, Godai reconsiders leaving—but Kyoko carries her own heartache as a widow whose husband died just six months after they married. As Godai’s feelings deepen and the other eccentric residents inevitably get involved, Kyoko must confront the place her late husband still holds in her life and whether she can open herself to love again.
