No, the second edition included all the chapters. As far as I know, there won't be any major content differences.

Got the original Viz releases
One of those past-high school stories that have a beginning, middle, and an end
Time even passes like seasons - they begin in their late teens and end in their mid-20s

Ok, thanks for confirming that!

This is one of the first manga I loved totally (the other being Strawberry 100 Percent). I would like to have the series too, but I too worry about Americanized, "modernized" translation. I'll be keeping my eyes open for reports of such.

They don't even start out as teens. At the beginning of the manga, Godai is 20 years old, Kyoko is 22. By the end of the manga they are in their late-20s (26 and 28).

I did a quick search and the series has been released as both 10 volumes and 15. Going by a page count comparison from GoodReads stats with the count on B&N, it'll probably be 10 volumes rather than the previous Viz release of 15. This new volume is around a hundred pages more at the previous releases.

Okay then, any reason why it was pushed back suddenly? Even less than a week out it had the original release date...just seems odd.

COVID, probably. Some websites didn't change the info on their page saying when an item was going to release since they didn't always know when production could resume. I ordered all 3 of Udon's scheduled Rose of Versailles releases about a week before volume 2 was supposed to come out in May, but didn't get a notice about 2 being pushed back to July until after the original ship date had passed. I also got a notice about volume 3 before 2. I'm not surprised since the production of everything was up in the air around May. I also won't be surprised if it gets pushed back a little more again before fall hits.

In Udon's case, delays for their highest-profile releases can be rather common for them, COVID or no, though that definitely doesn't help. With the other publishers, yeah, it's the pandemic.
Somewhat annoyed when I got the email about this new Maison Ikkoku vol. 1 being delayed, but it's not like I'd never read it before-- we still have our first edition graphic novels here. Wasn't sure if there'd be a new translation, but am happy to hear that there is via this review, and now I'm looking forward to it even more. Maison Ikkoku was a series my husband and I bonded over back when we were dating (I introduced the first volume or so to him, and we eventually got the whole set), so it's very special to us, in addition to being one of the all-time great rom-com manga.

Will this be available digitally as well? Not really in a place to store physical books.
