Boyfriend (Japanese: ボーイフレンド Hepburn: Bōifurendo?) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Fuyumi Soryo. The manga focuses on Masaki, a delinquent and former basketball star, and Kanako, a girl with an heart condition that forces her to repeat two years of school, as they develop a relationship.
Boyfriend manga received the 1988 Shogakukan Manga Award for shōjo manga.[1] On February 11, 1992, an anime adaptation by Magic Bus aired on TV Tokyo.[2] In 2008, the manga was posted on the Yahoo! Comic Japan website, for free browsing, to celebrate Shogakukan's Shōjo Comic's 40th anniversary.[3]

Plot
Takatou Masaki is the second youngest of four sons, and seemingly a delinquent by nature. His hot temper has put a wedge between himself and his strict father, gotten him kicked out of one school, and tossed him at a school notoriously horrible for the one thing he's truly good at, basketball. A chance encounter with the willful Yuuki Kanako may serve as a catalyst for change, as the indefinable connection she feels with him draws them together...
