A new manager, Kyoko Otonashi, has arrived at Ikkokukan, a very old wooden apartment building. Yusaku Godai, a Ronin who lives in room 5, falls in love with Kyoko Otonashi. It depicts the lively daily life of Ikkokukan, a place where unique people gather, centering on the love story between a young widowed manager and her younger lodger.
Travel into Japan's nuttiest apartment house and meet its volatile inhabitants: Kyoko, the beautiful and mysterious new apartment manager; Yusaku, the exam-addled college student; Mrs. Ichinose, the drunken gossip; Kentaro, her bratty son; Akemi, the boozy bar hostess; and the mooching and peeping Mr. Yotsuya.
Based on a hit manga by Takahashi Rumiko, this is a romantic comedy about the relationship of Otonashi Kyoko, the beautiful widow and manager of a boarding house and Godai Yusaku, a poor student tenant.
In this direct continuation of the earlier special, Godai tries to figure out what to do with his life after college while competing with Kyoko's impossibly perfect tennis coach for her affection.
