The manga was serialized in Shogakukan's Bessatsu Shōjo Comic magazine from the July 1981 issue to the September 1985 issue.[1][2][3] Shogakukan later collected the individual chapters into 11 tankōbon (bound volumes) under the Flower Comics imprint. The first volume was published on March 25, 1982; the last volume was published on November 26, 1985.[4][5]
In 1986, Family! was adapted into an 26-episode anime television series titled Oh! Family (Oh!ファミリー, Oh! Famirī), directed by Masamune Ochiai and broadcast on TV Tokyo.[1] Outside of Japan, the anime had significant success in Italy, where it was broadcast on Italia 1, under the title Che famiglia è questa Family![6][7]
