A review by memandyme
Marmalade Boy, Tome 1 by Wataru Yoshizumi

4.0

I read this back in Elementary school. It was my first jump into manga and I went INSANE. I dont think I have ever been so obsessed with a romance couple in my life. I was a horrible, pre-puberty, cant imagine holding hands with a boy mess. This book really helped me get through that with some grace. I thought it was very clever with the little side notations to teach you some japanese culture and words. Really, a great read if you are in your teens or younger. As an adult, it is a book that should be taken for what it is and the age group it caters too. 4 stars because it is an old favorite. Would be 3 stars if you tried to actually read this as a serious piece of work. It is light hearted, charming and very heavy with over the top romance.
