nothing?
Hey. I told you not to go around dressed like that.
Ah! You don't have anything?
If you want something to eat, there's some here.
Shall I show you?
Oh! Thanks!
You're welcome.
It's no big deal.
He got his allowance day before yesterday,
and the portion dedicated to food is here.
How did you know that?
Hey, don't just eat it like that!
And didn't I say not to go around dressed like that?
Oh sorry!
Here look: I am not a guy
so I hid my most important parts.
That isn't the problem!
I don't want to see, so don't force me to look!
He already saw it all through the hole.
Then this is for what you saw.
I'll take the rice puddings.
Do what you want.
Call me when there's a party!
What, what, what?
There is no party!
There is no party!
Scoot over.
Okay, here you go.
I knew you'd be here.
Come back home, mom.
I'm starving.
I can't help it.
We need to cheer the ronin.
If you want to complain,
complain to the imbecile ronin.
You gotta do better, onii.
Ronin!
If you accept your fate, you'll be happier.
That's so true.
I'm still young, and I'm not ready to do that.
I've had it.
If I stay here, my head will rot.
Do I understand, Godai-kun,
that you don't appreciate everything we've done
to help you with your mental weakness?
That's a lie.
I don't need this kind of cheering.
So you still don't understand.
No.
Think about it a little.
Living alone in Tokyo is lonely and sad.
Isn't this the ideal environment?
Right next door is a sexy, mysterious older girl.
I don't need that.
Anyway, you aren't mysterious at all.
And on the first floor,
a lively Tokyo housewife that's like a mother to you.
You mean me?
Maybe a little too lively.
And then your other neighbor
A shared friend to all.
I don't want a share.
Anyway, if I stay here it's hopeless.
It's all because of the environment.
I'm leaving this place!
Eh?
Take care of yourself, okay?
Did you forget anything?
Take care, okay?
Don't try to stop me.
You can't stop me.
Who's stopping you?
We're just seeing you off.
How many times is this?
Fourteen.
The second time this month, right?
This time is it, for sure.
I'm definitely leaving for good.
Right, right. See you soon.
I'm leaving!
Okay. See you soon.
I'm really leaving this time!
Okay. Take care.
Nice to meet you.
Starting today I will be the
kanrinin [superintendant] of Ikkokukan.
My name is Otonashi Kyoko.
Maison Ikkoku
You're the kanrinin?
Yes.
What about that old man?
All he said was, "tired,"
as he went back to the countryside.
I understand that completely.
Yes.
Oh, are you leaving?
Oh right. He's leaving this apartment.
What are you saying?
I love my apartment. I'll never leave it.
Just wait! Wait a minute!
Since you are the kanrinin...
will you be living here starting today?
Yes. Please take care of me.
No, no. It's our pleasure.
Please take care of us.
There's no reason to kneel.
Thank you.

What's this?
Godai Yuusaku-san...
Usually indecisive.
Ichinose Hanae-san
Dances when drunk.
Roppongi Akemi-san
Strips when drunk.
Yotsuya-san.
[The notes say nothing is known about him.]
Eh?
They're all crazy!
I wonder if I'll be okay.
Okay. Let's do it!
Could you start with the large items?
Thank you very much.
Nice apron!
A dog!
It's good on her.
Nice to meet you.
Huh?
He's big.
It's nice to be a kid.
Excuse me. Kanrinin-san!
Can I help you with anything?
Thanks so much!
But I'm okay.
Your studies are more important.
You need work hard and pass...
...this year.
This year, she says.
Right.
Godai-san.
Do your best, please!
I'll support you.
Yes! I'll do my best.
It's tiring to be a ronin.
Hey.
Do you understand that you're just pretending
to do anything different than before?
Please leave as soon as possible.
Right now I'm really in the mood to study.
I guess the ronin won't be there.
What are you talking about?
Kanrinin-san's welcome party.
Eh? Welcome
