Rumic Out Of Context Theater

That's not what's happening here, though.  Godai's just trying to remember who's trying to poison him this week.

Did you know that if you say Godai's given name in just the right way he has a seizure?  Ibuki just found out and is having fun with it.

Kyoko quietly enjoying a nice ass, as everyone should once in a while.

Ibuki's first time procuring the services of a prostitute are unsatisfying and now she's experiencing buyer's remorse.

He really isn't insulted: he is an appreciator of the ability to slander, and they're demonstrating good key competencies here.

Yusaku accurately summarizes the last five years of his life.

I could read her monologues all day.  Out of everyone in Maison Ikkoku, she is by far the most overwrought and melodramatic.  Which is saying something.

For once she's not talking about Godai and his landlady.  This is actually from an argument about shipping.

...oh, you poor, poor girl.

Ibuki has been known to dabble in a little human trafficking.

That having been said, thank you, Ibuki, for showing up and providing an excuse for an excellent visual gag and apparently prompting Godai to kidnap a small child.

On the one hand, Maison Ikkoku is less about humor than Ranma One-Half and Urusei Yatsura, meaning that I have to look harder for the gags.  But on the other hand, then I get to share tender little moments like this.  So I think I'm okay with that.
