{{Nihongo |'''Kimagure Orange Road'''|きまぐれオレンジ☆ロード|Kimagure Orenji Rōdo}}, usually abbreviated as '''KOR''', is a [[Shōnen manga|shōnen]] romantic comedy [[manga]] and [[anime]] series from the 1980s. Written by Izumi Matsumoto and serialized in [[Shueisha]]'s [[Weekly Shōnen Jump]], it was later adapted into an [[anime]] series broadcast on Nippon Television, animated by Studio Pierrot and directed by veteran animator Osamu Kobayashi with character designs by Akemi Takada and scripts by Kenji Terada, with Narumi Kakinouchi adding design work to the anime, as well as the opening and ending credits for episodes 1–8. In the mid-1990s the series was novelized as well. The series exists in [[manga]], [[anime]], novel, and radio drama incarnations. Originally a manga consisting of 18 volumes, it was necessary for Izumi to create an extended ending in the [[Tankōbon#Wide-ban|wideban]] release because the original run had been canceled. The anime consists of one pilot TV episode, 48 TV anime episodes, eight [[Original Video Animation|OVA]]s, and two animated movies. Three novels published as ''Shin KOR'' (''New Kimagure Orange Road'') written by Matsumoto and Terada also exist. Translations of the manga and novels exist in several languages, including Chinese and French. The ''Shin KOR'' novels have not officially been translated into English. In addition, there is a five-volume "cinema" radio drama set on compact disc. It has a slightly different storyline than the anime or manga, but more closely resembles the anime. The CD dramas are published by Victor Entertainment.{{Citation needed | date = February 2014}} In the United States, the TV series, OVAs, and the first movie were licensed by AnimEigo, though these licenses expired in August 2006 and they were unable to renew the license due to undisclosed reasons.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.animeigo.com/news.t | title = AnimEigo | type = news archive | date = June 14, 2006 | contribution = Kimagure Orange Road going out of print}}.</ref> The second movie, based on the first ''Shin KOR'' novel, is licensed by ADV Films. ==Plot== Kyousuke Kasuga and his family had just moved to a new town to start over after being discovered the Kasuga family has ESP powers.
