In 1987, 'Boyfriend' received the 33rd Shogakukan Manga Award for 'shjo' manga. On February 11, 1992, an anime adaptation produced by Magic Bus aired on TV Tokyo. In 2008, the manga was posted on Yahoo! Comic Japan's website for free browsing, in order to celebrate 'Shjo Comic' magazine's 40th anniversary.

A chance encounter with the willful Kanako Yki may serve as a catalyst for change, as the indefinable connection she feels with Masaki draws them together...
