This is my favorite childhood cartoon drama. I never heard of a Love Triangle until I watched this series. There are alot of characters in this drama. Lots of character development too. You will soon fall in love watching Miki and Yuu as they progress through high school and as their love for each other grow.

So here is Miki very confused and mad so she decided to find a way to stop this, so when she goes to meet the other family she decides to try to stop them there,but then she sees Yuu, which is the other couples son who is the same age as her. She thinks that he will help, but he doesn't. So the couples switch partners and get married. While Miki trys to adjust to her new life she falls into many love triangles with many boys including Yuu. Also many weird things happen to Yuu and Miki, which they do fall in love big time! But will they stay together, well that you have to find out by yourself.
Genre:
Mostly Romance
What I think:
I like the manga alot better than the anime, but it follows the manga very well, but the hair colors are crazy. But this is one of my favorite mangas of all time! I hope you like it to.

A Succession of Filler Chapters

You know those filler chapters that writers put in the middle of serious sections of an anime just to add some sense of lightness to heavy stories? Think of those, back to back to back. That's basically Marmalade Boy. It's light and bright, not to mention sappy, from beginning to end.

During the first ten episodes of the series, I found myself incapable of ungluing myself from my laptop; seriously, the slapstick-type humor was that addictive. Also, because the show was made in 1994, the art and the music are very different from other romcom anime that exist today. The downside of Marmalade Boy is that it's VERY long. I know it's not much compared to other anime, but given that the epiisodes of Marmalade Boy are just repeats of previous ones, there's really not much to look forward to. It's always the same pattern of introducing a new character (either a boy or a girl) to create a love triangle, and Miki and Yuu overcoming the difficulty and falling deeper in love with each other at the end of every episode. Even though there's hardly any variety in the series, however, a lot of important things happen in each show, so I can't really say the story doesn't progress.

Overall, Marmalade Boy is a must-see for fans of good old anime romcom. You have to know, however, that it's REALLY long (yes, the added emphasis is necessary) and really barf-inducing at times - but not on a Twilight Saga level. In my personal opinion, and I believe this strongly, it's more of an anime classic that Hana Yori Dango is. At least, I enjoyed watching it much more than I enjoyed watching 3 versions of the HYD story.

one of the best non-fantasy animes ive seen

I've noticed that if you watch the 1st 5 episodes and you're bored you won't like the show. I tested it with Meteor Garden, Love Hina, and Brown Sugar Mochiatto. So i watched 5 and i was like, this is a keeper. Ok so of course Ginta and Yuu are really hot!!! The different Love Triangles are reaally interesting and keep you watching. It reminds me alot of boys before flowers because of Aremi who likes Yuu but Yuu never liked her and that's just like Shigeru and Yuu only liked Mikki and never really liked anyone else, just like Tsukasa. Also Mikki is caught between 2 guys... just like Makino.. all VERY nostalgic but i like it. Yeah alot of hot guys and all the other suitors and things that try to break them up is ahmazing!!! Kei is my fave dude he's super hot i loooovvveee!!! ... You can't tell when someone says Yuu or You like if someone said "Hey do you think yuu/you could help?" you wouldn't know if its 2nd or 3rd person, it doesn't really matter but i just get confused easily... shut up! Of course its old and animation is good but you know what i like it the way it is Also the person version in chinese is really bad the people are SUPER ugly and ugh just terrible!!! DONT WATCH IT!!! And the teacher who goes out with her friend is a creeper and the whole switching spouses living together.... kinda creepy... i'm like "What are you smoking and can i have some???!!!!" I really also hate the Aremi girl who lies and plays games and everything. Some people are so stupid!! There's no way he would like her BECAUSE she does that!!! If she didn't do that MAYBE Yuu would like her, that's why he didn't go out with a lot of other girls because they were all like that.. i swear these people think looks and etc are all that matter but most guys who have it want more HELLO!!!!!! She's also too innocent, why does she freak out everytime a guy tries to kiss her, even the one she likes!!! I mean yea i would understand if it was a creeper trying to impregnate you but a kiss?? Seriously, are you four????
