About Maison Ikkoku
Maison Ikkoku adapts Rumiko Takahashi's romance about ronin Godai Yusaku loving landlady Kyoko Otonashi. The series aired 96 episodes from 1986 to 1988 from Studio Deen, closing on the wedding. The Final Chapter film (1988) extends the married life, while the Through the Passing of the Seasons special and OVAs revisit side tenants.
The manga finished with 15 volumes, so the anime covers the complete romance with no gaps. No sequel has been announced, leaving the wedding film as the planned close rather than an open thread.
Good to know
Watch the 96 episodes first in broadcast order, then the Final Chapter film, since the wedding assumes the full courtship. The specials fit after as side visits with the tenants rather than required chapters. The show plays slower than Takahashi's comedies on purpose, rewarding patience with the most grounded finale of her runs.
