I don’t often exhibit brevity in my posts, but the Maison Ikkoku manga was awesome, even more than its anime counterpart. The transition from friends to true lovers was more visible, and it helped that there was a confirmation of love for both parties. Of course, if you’ve read the manga, you’d know who I was talking about; if you hadn’t, however, you should read it right now. The scenes that were unsuitable for showing in television also helped in moving the plot forward as well as making it more smooth: this is, however, only a highly personal taste of mine. All in all, this work of Rumiko Takahashi was simply a masterpiece.
