Holy cow, I never realized that the MI world was that rooted in actual geography/city architecture! Those are some pretty cool photos.

Hi 16OzGospel, great name, welcome to the board.

To answer your questions:

The book, strangely enough, doesn't have an ISBN number. In fact it has no identifying information within it whatsoever, which leads me to believe it was originally packaged with something else (perhaps one of the old computer games). Rather than checking Amazon though, I recommend looking on ebay every week or so. My brother bought the book for me (after years of searching) last Christmas by...

YG, please, what is the ISBN of the Art Book? I can never seem to find it listed on Amazon.

Also, when you finish collecting the Sound Drama, are the images going into the gallery or not?

Hey that's a funny thought, I never really thought about a map. When I read the comic, I always felt like I had a sense of the area (after a few books anyway), kind of like you'd feel if you sporadically opened your eyes while in the back of a car driving through the same neighborhood again and again. If I randomly, magically (I suppose), got dropped there, I think I could figure it out - but exactly how far away everything is I'm not sure. I wonder if the panels where people walk...

Maps of Ikkokuland?

I've seen 2D and 3D images of Maison Ikkoku itself. I wonder if anyone's come across maps of Ikkokuland? I know Tower Hill is modelled after a certain burough of Tokyo but I wondered if anyone has ever put the main sights of Ikkokuland, from Ikkokukan itself, to Chachamaru, to Ueno Station, to the bathhouse, to the park with the swingset, to the Tennis Club, and to all those kinds of places on a map. Has anyone seen one? It would be interesting if one could deduce from the...
