Series Description
Miki's family is the epitome of dysfunctional. Her parents go on vacation and decide to end their marriage-of-convenience and swap spouses with another couple. Then it gets really weird as Miki suddenly finds herself living with a new stepbrother, Yuu, and four parents who think it would be too strange for the children if they lived apart.
Miki manages to find the bright side as she quickly realizes she loves this new boy in her life. It gets a bit more complicated though when Miki notices all the other girls who hang around Yuu, especially an old girlfriend of his, Arimi, who just won't go away. Then there's Ginta, a cute boy who's had a crush on Miki since Jr. High, but hasn't admitted it until now.
Marmalade Boy is the story of a family that lives like some psycho-twisted version of The Brady Bunch, and features a budding step-sibling romance that is complicated by old flames. Through it all, Miki struggles to make sense of the mess her life has become.
