Description
All Miki Koishikawa wanted was an ordinary family and that's exactly what she had until her parents decided to move in with another couple (as in switching spouses) and turned Miki's world upside down. Now she lives in a house with four parents and her totally cute stepbrother, Yuu.
It's bad enough being brought into her parents' strange soap opera, but Miki will star in a soap of her own as she deals with friends having affairs, trying to survive in school and ending up torn between her long-time crush, Ginta, and her new stepbrother!

I found the story to be quite interesting and character driven. The artwork was magnificent. Wow, Miki is really cute. Though the character development could have been done better, it was quite enjoyable. I'd recommend this for romance fanatics. The last two (maybe three, don't quite recall) volumes really have you on edge.

This story was well done and i really enjoy the art, but it's more suited for someone who has not read too many shoujo mangas....you know when you can say "oh shoujo typical"....or for those who will start off with this one. Otherwise you must really have time on your hands and not anything else that you are anxious to read. I particularly love this mangaka's almost every work so you will certainly enjoy it, in fact i think this is the most shoujouish of the bunch.

It was really cute, but I found the last few volumes very circular and pointless. Overall, the idea is quite funny. My favourite characters were the parents since they were really weird and interesting. It's cute, but a lot of the stuff is cliche.

Marmalade Boy is by far, one of my favorite series! This was one of the first series I read, and I fell in love with it! Although, I have to admit that when I looked at it once before I bought it, I thought it looked stupid. But, I tried it and couldn't wait for the next volume! The story is full of suspense and twists. Although. there were a couple of things I disliked.
Also, a plague of 90s manga is that they have rushed endings, Marmalade Boy included. It seemed that when everything was settled in the story, it ended a few pages later.
But, all in all, this series is very good! I recommend it to anyone who likes shoujo manga! Although, if you live in the U.S.A., you'll have a hard time finding it since it's out of print. I'd suggest checking a used bookstore, or ebay, or someplace that sells out of print manga.

Like, when Meiko gets with Nachan. He was too nerdy looking and the age difference was too large. Not right for her. (I wanted her to get with Satoshi Miwa. I thought he was a good fit.)
Also, I didn't think Ginta and Arimi were good together either. They were kind of haphazardly thrown together, but they're not a good couple.

i spent 3 days reading this, yeah it gave me a fluffy feeling at times, but the actual plot was like a moldy dry bread crust. Miki got on my nerves at times and this could have REALLY used a light ero scene. I mean the settings are perfect all the time but then the chapter ends T_T plus, its so cliche and the ending was HORRIBLE! trust me. Just....like i named this, marmalade boy is Bleh.
Naïve, Boring... and Stupid

One of the first shoujo I've ever read, was pretty young back then and didn't really like it... Ten years later and after having reread it... It's even more stupid than I thought it was back then.
The main heroïne is spending the whole time wondering... and wondering... and wondering to the point of ultimate boredom. No personnality at all, she's plain and boring. Her best friend is in in love with her teacher, classic shoujo cliché, but it's not even dealt with a slightest bit of originality.
It's seems like an accumulation of clichés put together but never exploited with Inventiveness. With such a long carreer, I was expecting something else but every mangas she's done I've read so far are so damn superficial It's a pain. Among them, Marmalade Boy is certainly one of the worst she's done.
I can't even explain how the hell did I manage to finish it twice.

Well, I guess the title says it all. I made the mistake of watching the anime first, and was disgusted and repulsed. Did it really take 72 episodes to chose Yuu, Miki? At the prodding of a friend I finished the manga and I must say it was loads better, it almost didn't drag at all. It was better in my opinion than Kare Kano, but Hana Yori Dango still reins supreme......ESPECIALLY the live j-drama.
