So Kozue gets introduced in this chapter. I hope she is potrayed better than how she was in the anime.
Also, with this starts the huge number of misunderstandings, something which MI is famous or infamous for.

Gôdai is really stupid with his Kyoko obsession: he doesn't know her, and MONTHS later still hangs on the physical impression she made on him when she came in. Even as a child, I never ever wished for the pair to happen and later be happy together.
Meanwhile, he can't just enjoy a sympathetic person being nice for real (a niceness seemingly opposite to his kanrinin's polite/professional nicess, that often rings so false, especially with the later bursts of overreactive anger I recall from her) and also HAS TO imagine things about Kozue (and thinking mean things too). I slowly remember why I never agreed when others when there were contests between Takahashi's male leads at the school playground.

While I remembered Mikata, I had totally forgotten about Kozue ! This calls back repeated and increasingly tiring TV episodes to my mind though...

3/5 For now, the crazy neighbourhood antics, the everyday life are really the main appeal of this series. Along maybe the new characters.
Weird since as a child I couldn't stand any of the tenants (I often skipped bits or whole episodes or read with Juliette, je t'aime on while waiting for the next anime).

@FMmatron Since you consumed the whole story recently, when is the average watcher supposed to start cheering / wishing for the couple to happen?

@Rei_III

I did from the very beginning :P

But yeah, I know what you mean. There will be some significant moments early on, the thing is that it's a slow and "frustrating" progress going in circles and accompanied by the antics of the tenants. Towards the end it will get more and more rewarding.

Well, from Ranma 1/2 I was already prepared for what I would get myself into xD

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron
