Episode Title:
Ah, Excitement! Grandma's Love Embosomed in the Ring.
Episode Description:
Kyoko and Godai are settling into their new relationship as the day of Mitaka and Asuna's wedding finally arrives. No one from Maison Ikkoku attends, but the traditional Western ceremony is beautiful. Back at Maison Ikkoku the tenants tease Godai about his plans with Kyoko. When he hesitates they strongly suggest in their unique way that he take her to meet his parents in Niigata. At dinner that night Yusaku mentions the idea and Kyoko says she would love to meet them. After a call to his grandmother the pair leave for the northern part of Japan the next day. Upon arriving, Godai is irritated to find that his parents' restaurant is still open. Yukari explains that it was her idea, and that Kyoko should get to know the real family in their everyday working life. The restaurant is busy which leaves little time for visiting, but Kyoko happily pitches in and serves as a waitress. Meanwhile, Yukari gives Godai her old engagement ring and tells him that she wants to loan him the money for the wedding as well. Moved by his grandmother's kindness, Kyoko is tearfully welcomed into the family. As everyone finally settles in for the night a knock on the door summons the arrival of the rest of the Maison Ikkoku tenants, whom Yukari invited to join in with the celebration.
