Summary: wow
Comment: The second last book in this outstanding series. Plot lines start coming to an end in this book. We finally get to see our hereo in a few kisses and embraces (ok the cover kind of gives it away). The end will simply have you begging for the next book.
Having read Ranma 1/2 and parts of Urusei Yatsura I was amazed by the maturity level of this series. The humour elements are certaintly their but it's raw human emotion that carries this series. At 14 volumes the plot is kept pretty tight (though i found the addition of the new tenant to Ikkoku extremely pointless) and doesn't have that drag on feeling like Ranma 1/2 does. Also the ending of this series will have more of an impact then the one Ranma 1/2 did.

Summary: Good lord
Comment: There is alot of stuff that happen sin this book. The main point being that Shun Mitaka is put out of the contention for Kyoko's affections. He does end up marrying Asuna, but the interesting part is how he ends up marrying Asuna. Also Kozue finally confronts Godai about the prospect of marriage because she has been proposed to by another man. Godai tries to tell herr that he is in love with someone else, but everything as usual ends up becoming a big misunderstanding. Kozue even kisses Godai, and of course Kyoko sees it, which fuels yet another jealous rage. Also Godai has to help out Akemi by paying the bill at a love hotel, but Kozue sees them coming out, and runs off and later tells Kyoko. Kyoko and Godai get in a huge fight in this book and it looks like everything could come to an end for their relationship. good stuff

Summary: Game, Set, Match, Yet not quite the end.
Comment: This has to be one of the finest Comedy / Drama's I have ever read. This is the second last book in the series so expect most of the story arcs to be resolved in this volume. Including all of the love triangles. Yes, most of the plot points in this volume have hilarious occurances, yet this volume also begins to take on a much more serious and dramatic tone for the series. It's a beautiful piece of writing and I recomend it to anyone who wants to laugh and cry and the same time. I have also been fortunate enough to come accross a comics store that got The final volume (Entitled Welcome Home) in on it's release date (No small miricle here in Toronto.), and you should also get that as well. It wraps up the series beautifully and show's where everyone of the major players end up when all of the growing pains and romantic angst is over. I would almost have liked this series to continue indefinately, but then it would lose it's magic and unique charm.
