Marginal Prince (マージナルプリンス-月桂樹の王子達-, Mājinaru Purinsu - Gekkeiju no Ōji-tachi) is a Japanese anime television series. The anime is based on Japanese cell phone service NTT DoCoMo's dating simulation game released on August 15, 2005. The anime, directed by Takayuki Inagaki, premiered on both Tokyo MX TV and TV Saitama on October 1, 2006. The anime's 13 episodes were released between October 1, 2006, and December 24, 2006. An extra episode was released on July 19, 2007.

The game was played on Japanese cell phone network NTT DoCoMo. The goal of the game was to form romantic relationships and hear love songs. Speech recognition software was employed to allow the player to directly converse with the characters. The player made story choices, spoke with characters, and heard characters conversing with each other. Different images were displayed on the player's phone depending on conversation choices and clothing selections. The game offered multiple endings depending on player decisions throughout the game.

In the anime, the main character is Yuta rather than his sister. For that reason, the anime has more of a homosexual element than the game.

The anime uses two pieces of theme music. "Hanashitaku wa nai" by Flame is the series' opening theme, while "LOOK UP DAYS" by Michihiro Kuroda is the series' ending theme.
