Miyuki ( Japanese み ゆ き ) is a manga series by the Japanese illustrator Mitsuru Adachi . The romantic comedy , which can be assigned to his genre and comprises over 2100 pages, was released from 1980 to 1984 and was also implemented as an anime television series.
The series Miyuki describes a love triangle between the main characters Masato Wakamatsu, his stepsister Miyuki Wakamatsu and Masato's school friend Miyuki Kashima.
action
Masato Wakamatsu's ( 若 松 真人 ) stepsister Miyuki ( 若 松 み ゆ き ), who has lived her previous life in Canada, comes back to Tokyo as a 16-year-old girl . She lives there alone with her brother Masato in her parents' house. Her father has to work in Canada and has no time for the teenagers.
Masato's girlfriend Miyuki Kashima ( 鹿島 み ゆ き ) has the same first name as his sister and their birthdays are on February 24th. Masato now wavers in his love between his stepsister, who he does not consider his sister, because they only really get to know each other as a teenager, and her school friend of the same name. This leads to all kinds of confusion.
Miyuki Wakamatsu also has three admirers: Ryūichi Masaki ( 間 崎 竜 一 ), a "school friend" of Masato; Torao Nakata ( 中 田 虎 夫 ), a 33-year-old PE teacher and old bachelor who still lives with his mother; and Yasujirō Kashima ( 鹿島 安 次郎 ), Miyuki Kashima's father and a policeman with a penchant for young girls. All three just want Miyuki, Masato's sister. Masato doesn't like that because she's his sister, he's interested in her and he thinks the three are criminals. Masato now tries to keep his sister away from the three, but it doesn't really work because his sister is very open-hearted.
