(L) Marmalade Boy Discussion [Spoilers]

[Ian]

I would greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me the ending to Marmalade boy. Who does Miki choose in the end and how does it turn out? Might seem like a wierd question but I'd really like to know so i can finally get some sleep

TIA.
PS: Great forum...another addiction!

I actually watched all of this show a LONG time ago.... it was one of the show that got me hooked on anime in the first place.

Anyway: Massive Spoilers

Spoiler:

Miki really falls for Yuu around episode 26, I think, but there's a lot of breakups and confusion throughout the series. In the final plot arc, Miki and Yuu are really nicely in love, but they find out that they are actually siblings after all!
This brings up all sorts of issues, of course, but in the final episode they admit their love to their respective parents, and also their blood relationship, and then there parents laugh at them, and explain that it was all a big misundrestanding. They're not siblings after all! The series ends with Miki's best friend's wedding to her teacher, with strong insinuations of Miki and Yuu's wedding in the future.

I loved this anime SO much.

Although I did like the series, I don't think I could sit through it again. Plus the whole USA arc was completely unnecessary.

If I am correct, didn't Marmalade Boy's "USA Arc" basically start the tradition of having crappy USA arc's in anime? It may suck, but it's historically important.

marmalade boy is a classic almost all anime collectors have the series

Also, I think that Marmalade boy was one of the earliest series to integrate marketable toys into the show.

If I remembered right, the Manga and the Anime Arcs are very similar except for location.

Spoiler:

The Manga had Yuu go to Kyoto (Vol 7). also, instead of, Michael, staying with Miki's family, Chiyako's cousin (eikadu?) does with his twins: Maho and Mayu. There's no Michael love (pentagon/square/triangle) going on.

It's really been a long time since i read the manga

I loved the manga but was afraid to watch the anime because the whole USA arc seems like it could ruin the series for me. Since it turns out the same in the end, and I know that in advance, I suspect I could sit through the USA fluff. Thanks for the spoiler!

[lemondude]

how many seen it???


If you haven't here's some info

Episode count: 75

Length of episode: around 22-24 minutes

Plot Summary: Miki Koishikawa lived a normal life - until her parents tell her they'll get divorced.. She doesn't agree, until she meets Yuu Matsuura... the handsome son of another couple, with whom her parents are switching spouses. They all live together now in an enormous house, and Miki and Yuu find themselves falling in love. They'll have to struggle with their own feelings, other people who want to be with them, and whatever Lady Luck and Fate throws in their ways...

my comment: a lot of side stories, though they are pretty cool, one of the first and last soap operas for me. I don't know how a women can watch so many, but it just makes me so sad. I guess guys are just not as strong emotionally as to a woman.

Spoiler for ending:

Actually we see miki wearing a wedding dress and yuu with a tux at the end of ep 76. The background also has a bouquet of flowers. So they did get married in the end.

I've totally gotta check out this classic shoujo anime soon! I can't believe I haven't yet!

[Coruja]

Aw, MB is my favorite shoujo anime EVER. Also, it was one of my first animes. It's incredibly good for what it is. Also, it has really likeable characters and the main plot is so funny! ^^

[KimmyChan]

From the look of it's manga, it does seem incredibly likeable & enjoyable to say the least, so the anime should be really good aswell
