Golden Boy is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Tatsuya Egawa. It was originally serialized from 1992 to 1997 in the manga magazine Super Jump, and later anthologized as ten collected volumes. The series is a sex comedy that follows Kintaro Oe, a 25 year old freeter and university dropout who roams Japan working various odd jobs. During his travels, Kintaro meets several women whose lives he dramatically changes, despite his invariably poor first impressions.
The series was adapted into a six-episode original video animation (OVA) produced by Shueisha and KSS that was released in 1995. A sequel to the manga, Golden Boy II, was serialized in Business Jump from September 2010 to May 2011.
