 Originally, Kyoko and Godais relationship wasnt going to be the  basis of the story. Rather, Rumiko Takahashi, the creator of the  comic the series is based on, was going to end the storyline early  on and continue on with a series of other storylines centering  around the buildings other occupants. However, the romance  storyline proved so popular it became the basis for the entire  series in both comic and television form.
