Throughout the series, Yuu Matsuura is known to be a very good looking young man. He has blonde wavy hair that reaches his neck and his clear brown eyes highlight his light face. He is often seen wearing his school uniform, however on his own time he tends to keep things simple with a pair of jeans and comfortable hoodless sweatshirts.

Personality and traits[]

Yuu Matsuura is often likened in personality to that of Meiko Akizuki, Miki's best friend.

He is generally kind and "cool" as described by Miki when she first met him. He is said to have a poker face. He is quick witted and loves to tease people in an amiable manner.

Relationships[]

Miki Koishikawa[]

The relationship between Yuu and Miki starts out bumpy due to their contrasting personalities but soon turns into a love that touches the hearts of even the other characters.Yuu admits to admiring Miki's ability to show her emotions clearly, and it being one of the reasons he fell in love with her. Yuu teases Miki a lot, but this is his way of showing affection for her. They're both loyal and honest to each other and stay in love even after many hardships that both of them face together. Their first kiss is a complete surprise for Miki because she had only met him a few days prior at an introductory dinner attended by both their families. At the end of the anime, they marry; in the manga, they are making plans to marry after college. In Marmalade Boy Little, after living together for 13 years, Yuu proposes to Miki and they get married. They later have two children together named Fū and Kokona.

Miki's indecisiveness about Ginta and Yuu frustrates her, as she does not think that Yuu deserves someone who cannot commit to one person. Arimi teams up with Ginta in an attempt to drive Yuu and Miki apart from each other. However, she eventually realizes that Yuu's behavior around Miki indicates that he does like her, so she stops her pursuit of him. Some time later, she develops feelings for Ginta and they become a couple.
