Mamarêdo bôi

I watched it in the middle of 2020 on TV (I'm Italian so it's normal that national channels air cartoons like this) and It's a sweet sentimental story. Totally recommended ^w^

This alternately hilarious and poignant series is simply one of the wildest emotional roller-coasters Japan has produced, and it's quite simply a lot of fun. As Miki and Yuu weather all manner of things while coming to terms with their attraction to each other, you feel all the mood swings a high schooler can have. It's like returning to your teenage years, even if they all just happen to be high-class Japanese who vacation every other week. Marmalade Boy appeals to the high schooler in all of us - and let's hope this series gets the exposure in the Western world it deserves.

This is another great anime to watch...Don't let the name fool you, this series isn't about a young jar of marmalade flying around and saving people...(snicker). It's a teen drama-comedy-action rolled into one! It starts off with a girl named Miki whose parents divorce and remarry another couple. The other couple has a son Miki's age, and the whole swarm of them live in one huge house. And much more happens past that.

This. Anime. RULES!

Well of course it does! I chose to make my IMDB username Koishikawa Miki for a reason, after all. For those who love light romantic comedy (And lots of swirling pastel colours), Marmalade Boy is for you. Thrill to the exploits of Koishikawa Miki, quite possibly the worlds most confused young woman, and Matsuura Yuu who is just too cool for words.

And don't miss the movie either! GASTAMAN!

Honestly if you aren't into a step brother and step sister slowly becoming a couple, I highly suggest to not watch this anime. However it didn't bother me at all and yeah I know I watched a good few episodes rather than the whole thing but I really liked this anime! Yuu and Miki are literally a match like it was interesting to see them get use to each other romantically. They are just adorable tbh!

Lads, if you ever feel romantic and wanna try out classic anime, go for this one. It might be an ideal date night for yourself and your loved one ^^
