Viz Media licensed and translated Maison Ikkoku for English release in North America. Viz Media serialized the series as a comic book where each book featured a single chapter; the comic book issues were published between June 1992 and January 2000. The comic book format used a different chapter numbering and skipped some chapters; the artwork was also flipped to read left-to-right. The comic book chapters were collected and released in fourteen tankōbon graphic novel volumes between December 1994 and June 2000. Viz later re-released the series complete and un-flipped in the same format as Shogakukan's fifteen volume format between October 2003 and February 2006. Viz republished Maison Ikkoku in a "collector's edition" based on the Japanese wide-ban, with the first volume released on September 15, 2020, and the tenth and last on December 27, 2022.
