List of Maison Ikkoku chapters

This is a complete list of chapters for the Japanese manga series Maison Ikkoku, written and illustrated by Rumiko Takahashi and serialized in Big Comic Spirits from November 15, 1980 to April 20, 1987.

The first collected volume was published in Japan on May 1, 1982 under the "Big S Comics" label published by Shogakukan, with the final volume being published on July 1, 1987. Shogakukan released a high-quality and larger wideban edition of the manga in ten volumes at a rate of one volume each month between September 1, 1992 and June 1, 1993. Each volume containing approximately one-and-a-half of the contents of the original release volumes. The covers of this release were new watercolor artwork created specifically for this release.

Between January 1 and April 1, 1997, a small-size ten-volume bunkoban edition was released at a rate of three or four volumes each month. These volumes corresponded directly to the contents of the wideban release. The bunkoban volume covers featured much of the same artwork as on the original 15 volume release, but on plain white backgrounds instead of the colored backgrounds used for the original release. Each volume also featured "Rumiko Takahashi Presents" in large letters above the volume number and series title.

Shogakukan released a shinsōban version of the series, with 15 volumes corresponding directly to the original release. The covers featured solid bright colors with black and white character artwork featuring all of the main characters in the series, as well as some group images. This series was released between April 27 and October 30, 2007 at a rate of two or three volumes a month.

When Viz originally published the series in North America in the 1990s, each chapter was released as a separate comic book of between 25 and 40 pages. However, they released some of the chapters out of order and skipped other chapters. When they collected the chapters into graphic novels, the chapters were released in the same order and the missing chapters were not included, resulting in only 14 total volumes for the first edition English language release. In September 2003, Viz began releasing the "Editor's Choice" edition (also called the "2nd edition") of the manga, and each of these volumes corresponded directly to the same volume of the original Japanese release, resulting in 15 total volumes.

Volume list
The chapters are listed below in the original Japanese order, according the contents of the original 15 collected volumes. Therefore, the chapter order does not correspond to the first English language edition released by Viz.
