About the series
In 1993, Viz Media launched a second English-language chapter of Rumiko Takahashi's beloved romantic comedy, Maison Ikkoku, continuing the misadventures of the chaotic boarding house residents. Scripted by Gerard Jones and Matt Thorn, with Takahashi's original art enhanced by Wayne Truman's English adaptations, this six-issue series offered a fresh translation and presentation for Western readers. It stands as a key artifact of the early '90s manga boom, showcasing how publishers carefully localized a classic slice-of-life story for a new audience.
