Marmalade Boy: Collector’s Edition Vol. 05. The final volume!

A PERFECT STORM!

Miki is blissfully enjoying life with Yuu, but stormy days are on the horizon. When Chiyako-san’s younger brother, Eisaku, shows up with his two daughters, they blow into the house like a hurricane! It’s not long before Miki and Yuu are swept up in their antics—and that’s just the beginning of their turbulent new home life. What secrets does Eisaku have to share!? And what is the shocking true nature of Miki and Yuu’s relationship!? Find out in the final volume of Marmalade Boy!

Miki’s life was pretty ordinary until the day her parents told her they were swapping spouses with another couple! Thanks to this unconventional arrangement, Miki now has two new stepparents and a hot new stepbrother, Yuu! Miki isn’t exactly thrilled with her new situation, and though Yuu is super cute, he’s also kind of a jerk. Can Miki sort out her complicated feelings for him and come to terms with her new family?
