Miyuki (みゆき, Miyuki^?) is a 12-volume manga by Mitsuru Adachi. It was first published from 1980 to 1984 in Shogakukan’s biweekly manga magazine Shonen Big Comics (precursor to the current Weekly Young Sunday), and subsequently adapted into a movie, an anime series, and a television series. It was very popular in Japan and was one of the winners of the 28th Shogakukan Manga Awards in 1982.

The anime series, consisting of a total of 37 episodes, was broadcast from March 1983 until April 1984 on the Fuji Television network. A movie version was also released in September 1983.

Fuji Television and Kyodo Television Ltd. (a television production house) later collaborated to produce a television series which debuted on the Fuji Television network on August 4, 1986.

[edit] Storyline

Masato Wakamatsu, 16 years old, is working at the beach one summer. Having made a bad impression on his classmate/crush Miyuki Kashima, he makes a pass at another pretty girl. To Masato's shock, the girl turns out to be his younger sister Miyuki (15), who has been living abroad with their father for the past six years.

As school progresses, Masato starts dating Miyuki Kashima. He and his sister Miyuki are living alone together, and he is troubled by his conflicting emotions: filial and romantic feelings toward a sister who may or may not know she is not related to him by blood.
