History WMG / MaisonIkkoku

* One problem with this is that ''Maison Ikkoku'' takes place during the time of its original release in TheEighties, whereas ''Madoka Magica'' was relased in 2011, and Homura and the rest of the main cast are only 14. Perhaps ''MI'' and ''Madoka'' take place in an AlternateHistory where the 1991 economic crash that ended Japan's '80-era bubble economy never happened, and the country's wealth and technological output continued on to a degree that by about [[TurnOfTheMillennium 2000]] they and possibly the rest of the world already had 2010's-era technology (this might even explain the vaguely TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture look of ''Madoka'''s cityscape and technology). Therefore, Akemi could've given birth to Homura in 1986 (the year the anime debuted), thus setting ''Madoka'' in 2000 ([[spoiler:which again, could tie in with ''Madoka'''s millennarian, apocalyptic overtones]]).

She didn't think she could properly raise a child, and so she gave her up to an orphanage using her given name for Homura's surname. And perhaps due to drinking while pregnant, her daughter would grow up with many health problems. Homura would grow up thinking she was unwanted, which of course had all the consequences you can think of.

Kozue is a plucky endearing nice girl who became Godai's "sort-of girlfriend" over the course of the first half of the series. Of course its been often said that Godai still tries to pursue Kyoko but just couldn't have the heart to break it up with Kozue since she is so nice. However while Godai still pined for Kyoko he does enjoy his time with Kozue as well. However this is a problem since Godai and Kyoko are suppose to be the OfficialCouple and since Kozue is suppose to be only a RomanticFalseLead.

* From Wiki/TheOtherWiki: "Time Lords are an aloof people, with a society full of pomp and ceremony." Sound like any traditional clothes-wearing, formally-speaking, haiku-quoting person we know?

The ''Ikkoku'' and ''UruseiYatsura'' manga were running at the same time, and ''MI'' characters frequently popped up [[FreezeFrameBonus in the background]] of various ''UY'' manga and anime scenes.

Basically Takahashi quietly wrote Kozue off as being DemotedToExtra over the remainder of the 2nd half of the series and introduced Ibuki Yagami. Ibuki is a bratty clingy High School girl who wishes to deem herself to be Godai's One True Love and deems herself to be Kyoko's rival for Godai's love. Though unlike Kozue the plot is very open about how Ibuki never had a chance with Godai in which Godai openly says he has no intention in loving her back but does try to reason with her though. So basically to make a long story short Takahashi tried to quietly replace a nice and endearing RomanticFalseLead with a bratty and clingy StalkerWithACrush. Granted over the course of the series Takahashi does try to soften up Ibuki's character so this purpose won't be too obvious but still Ibuki was there to make sure people wanted Godai to go with Kyoko anyways.

* He goes by all of these names. Wouldn't be suprised if Khonshu was one of them.

But here is the thing, Takahashi made Kozue to be a bit too nice of a RomanticFalseLead as Kozue is nicer, and more open about her feelings to Godai than Kyoko was. (In which even the show fully acknowledged her as a RomanticRunnerUp to Godai.) In which there was a considerable danger than viewers would want Godai to go with Kozue than Kyoko instead (in which to certain viewers [[FanPreferredPairing the damage has already been done]]). But Takahashi wants to avoid that certain pairing issue that happened in UruseiYatsura but seemingly tries to avoid the DerailingLoveInterests trope as well for the story so what to do?

* Finally, a travelling Time Lord needs a pretty Companion...Yotsuya has Akemi. Or at least, he thinks he does. Unfortunately for him, she's also working for the Master...
