Marmalade Boy Storyline

Marmalade Boy is about a girl named Koishikawa Miki Miki and Yuuwho is a junior in high school. She finds out in the first episode that her parents are divorcing and remarrying a couple that they met in Hawaii. The couple have a son her age named Matsuura Yuu. It is the story of these two and how they discover love, overcome difficult periods and basically grow up. This is a great shojo romance which is very funny most of the time. Be aware, though, that this is a very emotionally binding show. I felt as if my best friend had moved away when I saw the last episode.

The following is an episode guide. The episode guides have major spoilers so read at your own risk. I am going to try to be as detailed as possible about each episode. Enjoy!
