Miki Koishikawa's ordinary life as a sophomore in high school is turned upside down wh her parts suddly announce that they are getting divorced in order to swap partners with a couple they met back in Hawaii. They seek her approval of the shocking change, and while at a restaurant during dinner where Miki meets the other couple as well as their teage son Yuu Matsura, who is around her age, she reluctantly agrees to the arrangemt.

Throughout the series, Miki and Yuu's relationship is further developed and tried, influced by the other characters around them and the relationships that they develop with these characters.
The cast of Marmalade Boy is diverse and largely defined by their relationships with Miki Koishikawa and Yuu Matsuura. Although the relationship betwe these two protagonists is the primary focus of the series, many of the supporting characters are also well-developed.
Wh Wataru Yoshizumi first started planning Marmalade Boy, Miki, Yuu, Ginta, and Meiko were all the opposite gders of what they ded up being in the final versions, and Miki's original design looked similar to Yuu's final appearance, while Yuu was an attractive girl with long black hair and a devilish and unpredictable personality. Yoshizumi notes several reasons behind the changes. Part of the reason was that it was a request from the Ribon publishers, who wanted a female as the ctral character as the story was going to be included in a Mother's Day set with magnets featuring the characters. Her associate editor also expressed concerns that a male hero would be a sissy wh writt about by a female writer. Finally, Yoshizumi herself decided that she would go with a heroine rather than a hero as most of the Ribon readers are girls.

In the original story, the title of Marmalade Boy was an indication of the hero Miki's cheerful, sweet, and naive nature. After redoing the concept, she wanted to keep the original title, changing its meaning to what is stated in the first volume, that Yuu has lots of bitter bits inside him but people only see his sweet surface.
The ding for the series was also very differt from the final version. Ginta and Arimi were not going to be a couple in the original version, nor was Meiko going to be reunited with Namura. Yoshizumi originally intded for Miki and Yuu to truly be blood siblings, and thus have to break up. Afterwards, Ginta would comfort Miki and promising to wait for her to get over Yuu. Yuu and Meiko would have be shown meeting four years later, having both failed in their previous relationships. The ding would have be more op-ded so readers would have had to wonder what really would happ to everyone. However, as she was writing the third chapter, Yoshizumi became less certain of the ding, as it made Miki and Yuu's parts appear to be awful people for doing such a thing to their childr. She also was concerned how readers would react, and her own feelings of emptiness at the sad ding. Her editor agreed that the ding would be bad, so she changed it to the happier one now found in the series.
