SynopsisAll Miki Koishikawa wanted was an ordinary family and that's exactly what she had until her parents decided to move in with another couple and turned Miki's world upside down. Now she lives in a house with four parents and her totally cute stepbrother Yuu. It's bad enough being brought into her parents' strange soap opera, but Miki will star in a soap of her own as she deals with friends having affairs, trying to survive in school and ending up torn between her long-time crush, Ginta, and her new stepbrother!

Crazy love triangles...squares...? Well lots of crazy amounts of love. After the initial parent "trade" thing, it is easy to see why later Miki can be so confused in love.
Trading partners, parents living together, falling in love with your 'brother', student/teacher relationships, etc. There is no shortage of love faux pas in this fun and entertaining manga. Warning though...even though this manga is mainly a comedy the characters are not always happy. Passion and emotions all heat up in this whirlwind of a story.
I have recommended this to 4 people since it was recommended to me! Read it for a laugh, fun, believable characters, and a little home-cooked craziness. read more

This manga is very entertaining. In every volume, there is a new surprise that adds to story appeals. The story might not have the average personâ??s ordeal, but it is very easy to relate with the characters. You canâ??t help but fall in love with them. The art isnâ??t the best I have seen, but it is pleasant to look at. There are many cute cover pictures. Overall I recommend all people interested in romantic comedies to read. You will not be disappointed.

Both have the same core idea of characters being thrown together and circumstances that arise in the same living quarters due to parents remarrying.
Marmalade Boy is more crackish though (likely because of the set of parents), while Akuma de Sourou is more realistic in just about all aspects, including the type of drama that the series is subjected to.
Both stories are about the main characters' parents getting married to each other and also end up falling in love with each other.

In both mangas the main characters suddenly become brother and sister, both stories are very romantic and fun to read.
There are quite a few similarities between these two. In both, there are two families where the parents remarry. Then of course the non-blood related, newly formed siblings fall in love with eachother! Both also have important scenes in libraries... and some suprising plot twists! Both are really cute and fun to read too!!
