Marmalade Boy (ママレード・ボーイ, Mamarēdo Bōi?) is a manga created by Wataru Yoshizumi and serialized in the monthly manga magazine Ribon by Shueisha. The manga was later adapted by Toei Animation into a 76-episode anime TV series which aired on the Asahi Broadcasting Corporation. There was also a short animated movie (only slightly longer than a normal episode) produced in 1995, which was a sort of prequel to the series. Marmalade Boy was also made into a 30-episode live-action television series (Chinese: 橘子醬男孩; pinyin: Júzǐjiāng Nánhái) which aired in Taiwan. The manga is published in English by TOKYOPOP (now out-of-print), which has also released the anime in four box-sets in co-operation with Studio E.

In terms of the series' anime and manga license, they have expired and Tokyopop will not renew these licenses, instead, FUNimation has picked up Tokyopop's anime line officially.
