This was a really cool idea, and the character similarities are close
enough to make it work. However, the [Maison Ikkoku] tag in the header,
along with some of the more obvious clues (the dog being named
"Tofu-san"), kind of telegraphed the ending for me. I think if you made
the ending more of a surprise, you could have something that could make
people fall out of their chairs. :)
Really, I didn't find Tofu-san to be that obvious of clue for the ending.
Well it is when you have the [Maison Ikkoku] tag in it...:) I'll probably
drop it if and when this ever makes it to r.a.a.c just to add to the
suprise though...
Of course when I orginally thought of the idea I wasn't going to use
Yusaku Godai per say or the cast of Maison Ikkoku. I was going to make up
a Godai Kyosuke and name the house Maison something....:) It's just during
the writing of this it seemed more and more fun to use the real MI....:P
And to probably kill the idea before it get's started, no I don't really
want to do a long running series of this. Except for the times that the
Tendo's and Saotome's drop by the series (at least IMHO) would work a hell
of a lot like the orginal Maison Ikkoku (So all you need to do is just
replace Kyoko's name and picture with Kasumi's....Also use Inoue-san's
Seiyuu too....:)
Ja ne!!
