Godai is a 1st-year rounin (person who fails his college entrance exams) who lives in the old, run-down small apartment building called Ikkoku-kan. He's desperate to make it in this year. Unfortunately, the other residence of Ikkoku-kan are having too much fun at Godai's expense. There's his neighbor Akemi-san who works at a local bar, loves to party, and loves to prance around in a sheer negligee, especially in Godai-kun's room. There's his other neighbor, the mysterious Yotsuya-san, who often works with Akemi-san to distract Godai. He often enters Godai's room by making a large hole in the wall between their rooms. Rounding out the tenants are Ichinose-san and her young son Kentaro-kun. Inchinose-san loves to party as well and she's also known for being a busybody.
