An SD on BD Set has been announced for 2018. The movie for the anime acts as a prequel to the story. Taking place as a flashback after Yuu kisses Miki in the nurse's office, he recalls the first time he met Miki, shortly after his parents told him of their impending divorce and spouse swap. He found Miki practicing tennis in the park and spent the rest of the day following her around, eventually finding out she was to be his new stepsister. According to this movie, Yuu was in love with Miki before the family's meeting. The second Discotek set, as well as the upcoming SD on BD set has the movie packaged in there. ===Art books=== *''Marmalade Boy: Koi no Style Book'', ISBN *''Marmalade Boy: Yoshizumi Wataru Illust-shū'', {{ISBN|4-08-855091-9}} ===Games=== ''Marmalade Boy'', a [[dating simulation]] video game was released by [[Bandai Entertainment]] for the Nintendo [[Game Boy]] system in Japan on January 27, 1995.
