Maison Ikkoku: Prelude
A special which pastes together all of Kyoko's flashbacks of Soichiro, with some dialogue along the scenes. Like a cherry flower in the spring talks about Soichiro, Kyoko's first love and husband, using a series of flashback, already seen in the TV episodes, making up a sort of "journey in the memories".
