In addition to the television anime adaptation, the manga inspired a 1995 anime film and a 2001 live-action Taiwanese television series.
The official website for the live-action film of Wataru Yoshizumi’s Marmalade Boy manga announced on Saturday that Mio Yūki will play the character Meiko Akizuki, Miki’s close friend.
The North American publisher Tokyopop released the classic romance manga and its 1994-1995 anime adaptation in English.
Ryūichi Hiroki (live-action Strobe Edge, Wolf Girl & Black Prince) is directing the film off a script by Taeko Asano.
