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!

This was a series which never seemed to go anywhere. The characters remained static for the purpose of fitting the stereotypical "shoujo: boy and girl pairing". I only read all the volumes because I promised a friend I'd do so.
If you don't like to read and hate to think and only want to look at pretty pictures, then this manga is for you. Otherwise, avoid at all cost.

A really cute and sweet story. Only 8 volumes, so it's not too drawn out, but the characters never develop beyond their original personalities. The ending doesn't feel as dramatic as it could be, but it's still satisfying.
I very like the story about Miki and Yuu (YUU LOVE). The arts are... clear and the characters has realistic traits. It's one of my favourite mangas!
I don't know if it is that new manga in the same genre are faster developing the story nowdays but I found this one to be way too slow. it has its funny and memorable moments but nothing outstanding. I found the ending a huge waste of time as it took a couple of volumes for something stupid. Read only if you are a soup opera freak.
I loved Marmalade boy!^^ It's so cutsie in its own little way.....
though something nags at me.....
i just cant seem to wrap my mind around Ginta and ARIMI......but that's just me.........
other-wise that....it is an adorable shojou manga!!^^

SPOILER WARNING
I am a guy and I read shoujo also. I really really dislike this manga. I gave it a 5 instead of a 1 because i did not want to bring the average down too much. Since it seems other people really enjoy it. But this is one of my most hatest mangas. The reason i dislike it is the main characters. The main girl is completely in love with the main boy no matter how cold he is. And the main boy does not seem to show any signs of affection for the main girl through out the whole series. Yet in the end they end up together. Their is little to no character development in between the first and last volumes. It is like chapter 1 he is very cold to her. And than in the final chapter he loves her. The main flaw of this manga is the character development. This work has the same problem as her other work Kimi Shika Iranai. Which had a similiar deus ex machina, out of nowhere, lovely ending. Although I did like Minta Na Bakura. Yes I read all 8 volumes.
