ママレード·ボーイ [Marmalade Boy] #1

The opening volume of Marmalade Boy arrives in this Ribon Mascot Comics edition from Shueisha, introducing readers to what would become one of shōjo manga's most beloved romantic series. The cover, by 吉住渉 (Wataru Yoshizumi), frames a bright-eyed, pigtailed girl with blue ribbon ties, her hands clasped cheerfully beneath her chin against a lush backdrop of strawberries, kiwis, bananas, lemons, and other colorful fruits — a playful, sweet image that perfectly captures the series' warm, lighthearted spirit. It's an inviting start that makes it easy to see why this title earned such an enduring place in readers' hearts.
