This ROCKS man. I loved the manga, but then when the Taiwanese Drama came out last year, I was freaking dissapointed.

But in the year 2007, something brightened my life. That is. HANA KIMI JAPANESE VERSION =D

This version is filled with more beautiful people and with the same unique language as the manga did. The budget for this version is obviously better, advisory from the manga artist himself.

Plot:

While living in the U.S., Mizuki Ashiya was chased by a gang of robbers and Sano saved her. In the process, the robbers injured Sano using a knife. A few years later, Mizuki decides to chase Sano and enrolls in Osaka High, the all boys’ school that Izumi attends in Japan. With the help of her best friend, she cuts her hair and disguises herself to remain near her idol. As she settles in, an accident reveals her identity to Hokuto Umeda, the school doctor, and Izumi Sano. Izumi hides his knowledge of Mizuki’s gender and tries to help her keep her secret, though it sure isn’t easy as many situations land Mizuki in compromising positions.

CHARACTERS

The name is already on the picture.(LOL)

Ashiya Mizuki If you haven found out, good luck to you.

Horikita Maki as Ashiya Mizuki

She is the main protagonist She pretends to be a boy in order to enroll into Osaka Gakuen to get closer with Sano. She loves sweet food and she is a very fast runner, initially causing all the three dorms in Osaka High to desperately recruit her. Mizuki falls in love with Sano, but is unable to tell him because she thinks that he doesn’t know that she’s a girl. But what she doesn’t know is that he does know that she’s a girl and he’s in love with her as well. She amusingly wants to be a dog trainer and is very close to Sano’s dog, Yuujiro.

Oguri Shun as Sano Izumi

The guy that Mizuki Ashiya likes and an excellent high jumper. He finds out that Mizuki is a girl early in the series, but does not tell anyone else and actually becomes very protective of her secret.

Sano falls in love with Mizuki, but cannot tell her because Mizuki thinks that if Sano found out her secret, she would have to leave.

Ikuta Toma as Nakatsu Shuichi

He likes Mizuki, but doesn’t know that she is really a girl, and some of his classmates believe that he is gay due to that fact. Nakatsu also seems to have come to terms with that fact. As Umeda says,”…he’s only attracted to her feminine side,” meaning that Nakatsu is responding as any teenage male would to being around a female, although it would appear he is a bit more excitable than his classmates as none of them seem to be affected by Mizuki– or they simply hide it better. At times, he is very jealous of Sano because of how close he is to Mizuki. He entered the school with a football (soccer) scholarship, and is very good at it. Originally from Osaka (the city, which is different from the school and spelled with different kanji), he has a thick Kansai accent and frequently uses the Kansai dialect. He has bleached blonde hair.
