Mutual Relationship – Godai and Otanashi –Relationship between Yusaku and Kyoko is an unusual mutual relationship. Kyoko has just come after the loss of her husband and Yusaku is trying to enter a university. Kyoko will hide some of her emotions from everyone, except stubbornness, anger and jealously.
Triangle 1 – Mitaka, Godai and Otanashi – Mitaka is the tennis coach for a housewives and college girls. His family has a wealthy business so he has the fancy things in life. All of this poses a threat to Godai for the manager’s heart. Even when he entered college and graduated, he feels that money is the factor than love. In Kyoko’s case, she is intimidated by his wealth and stature. That is why she would think of Mitaka as a friend than someone to marry. Not to say that she was tempted to be with Mitaka, she just feel more dedicated to her late husband for now and when the time comes, she would make a decision.
Triangle 2 – Nano, Godai and Otanashi – In this case, ignorance is bliss. Kozue is a young girl that worked in the liquor store while he was doing their delivery. He just gave a “alcoholic confession” to Kyoko days ago and that’s when Mitaka entered their lives. He was going to take the manager out to the movies. When he saw her, she was going out with Mitaka on a dinner date. Trying to pawn his ticket to his friend, Kozue met
with him and at that moment they went to the movie. Before they went to the movie, they met Mitaka and Kyoko. Jealously rears it ugly head over Kyoko as she found her rival for Godai (when she ready to show her love to him). Kozue knows that Mitaka and Kyoko are lovers not that there is a love triangle with Godai.
Triangle 3 – Yagami, Godai and Otanashi – When Godai took a student teaching job at Kyoko's old high school, he met a persistant student named Ibuki Yagami. Yagami was not interested in him until she saw him in the AV library crying over a scrapbook (he was really looking at a old yearbook of the school with Kyoko and because he up all night with the tenants bothering him, he did not get a wink of sleep.) Even if this is one sided love on Yagami part, she sparked a fire in Kyoko that she never had in her when she met her husband, Sorichiro... she had no rivals.
Triangle 4 – Kujo, Mitaka and Otanashi – Mitaka had been persistant to be with Kyoko for almost two years, he had not great success on winning her heart. When Mitaka's uncle setup a arranged marriage with Asuna Kujo, it went downhill for Mitaka. First, she loves dogs and that is what he feared. Second, when he tries to break up with her, his uncle would block his plans. Finally, a case of misunderstanding. Mitaka cured his fear of dogs by buying a dog. Later, after being drunk with Godai, he staggered to his door and saw Asuna. As he fell over, he kissed her. As Asuna helped him into his apartment, her dog met Mitaka dog and days later when Mitaka was trying to get his head together about that night, she came to the tennis court and said that she pregnant( she was talking about her dog and not about herself when she said the news.) He gave up on Kyoko and set his site on Asuna and married her. When he found about the dog being pregnant, he felt very low but later he accepted her as his wife.
Triangle 5 – Sorichiro, Godai and Otanashi – Before moving to Masion Ikkoku, Kyoko was married to Sorichiro, not the dog. He passed away at the prime of their marriage. Her love and feelings are still in Kyoko's heart but Godai knows that. At the family plot, Godai spoke to the tomestone while Kyoko was hiding not far from there. He accepted his heart in Kyoko as his own to still be with Kyoko. When she out of hiding, she was finally letting her past go.
aren't supposed to fall in love, and to top it off Ai only has a running time of thirty days!
