Summary:
The story takes place in Maison Ikkoku, a worn and aging boarding house where Yusaku Godai, a 20 year old college applicant lives. Though honest and good natured, he is weak willed and often taken advantage of by the offbeat and mischievous tenants who live with him. As he is about to move out, he is stopped at the door by the young and beautiful Kyoko Otanashi, who announces she will be taking over as landlord. Godai immediately falls in love with her and decides to stay.

the one most memorable part is when kyoko asked godai to promise her "to live longer than her" when godai proposed.
overall, i find this anime great, although there are some epsiodes which are rather meaningless. (show less)
