Hana Kimi - Japan

"People who go to school! Do you ever feel you are happy as long as? Every morning dressed in a white shirt, step on the path of green drooping foliage. Each day broadcast as friends, study, eat awkwardly, play, cry together, laugh together. Every afternoon on, step on the way down the sun, that day passed very quickly. Hopefully as the blue sky front, full extension.

Those who have passed school age! Have you ever step through the chaos of every day, mixing in the flow of people back and forth, suddenly even hear countless brittle laughter of friends? Do you ever regret that spirit, the very look of his old dreams of today and the freshness of the years of students?

If you have ever felt like that Hana Kimi is the movie for you. It's a cool stream, making people go to learn more these days I love living, and make the adults - in some way relive the days of his-lived. Maybe happy, maybe sad; could anger can laugh; may cry - can give up - can stand up. The five month old baby ....

Its on Soi Sano, Mizuki, Nakatsu, and countless other students in the dorm, always will see part of myself. The gander's first love, the confusion does not know to express emotions, her involvement as a friend, the innocent in every smile. All, even the most beautiful flowers of each season the

For you in your full blossom ... dedicated people because everyone has a blossoming like that! "
Here is the commentary that I like best for Hana kimi that are good and worth watching

I would always pass by this drama online and I decided to check it out. NEVER regretted my decision because this is one heck of a drama!

The drama was full of humorous jokes and the love triangle that we should see in mostly every good drama, between Sano, Nakatsu, and Mizuki.

The storyline was amazing, kudos to the mangaka of the Hana Kimi manga and to the script writer, director, and producers.

The music, was great to listen to! The opening song, Ikenai Taiyou by Orange Range was a great song to sing and dance too. The ending song, Peach, was another great song to dance and sing to.

The characters, they were portrayed well in the drama like they were from the manga.

The acting, it was fabulous! The humorous personality of Nakatsu was played well by Ikuta Toma (hoping to watch more dramas with him in it) The sort of stoic, anti-social, high-jumper Sano was also portrayed well by Oguri Shun. The cheerful and happy girl-pretending-to-be-a-boy Mizuki was played well by Horikita Maki. The others were also portrayed like their original character in the manga. Like, Nanba with his player-ish self. Kayashima, the ghost kid who would read their auras. Nakao, the guy with girlish features who liked Nanba. And the rest played their characters, perfectly.

All in all, I say this is a great drama!

Frankly, this drama is ridiculous.

It makes sense only in that higher plane of bizarre J-dorama comedy, where there exist only handsome boys, it is possible to get drunk on nara pickles, and spirit possession is a weekly occurrence.

And just as frankly - I love it.

The fast editing, zany situations, dry quips, outrageous characters and surprisingly poignant story makes this a quality comedy. The star-studded cast doesn’t hurt either. Every episode is fun, pure entertainment.

If your looking for some entertainment and laughter, look no further than Hana Kimi. I can’t recommend it enough.

this drama is hilarious, fun and cute...
the fact that a girl is trying to pretend to be a boy just gets me and its really funny to watch the main character act like a boy...and ikuta toma thinking he was gay was priceless..it was sooooooo funny!!!!

VERDICT
After watching hana yori dango, i directly jumped to watching this jdorama. At first I was not interested about it because i just finished watching a k-drama called coffee prince with the same concept (kind'a). But when I heard the theme song, it totally freaked me out. It was awesome. It was very upbeat and it was my type.
Besides, compared to the taiwanese version, this version is way too cooler. Because it's like a "Manga in Motion". There are a lot of monologues, animations and charts.

I originally fell for the Manga, but due to my lack of funds and lack of a proper book store that sold all the books, I was unable to read the whole series. I then found out about the Drama, and although i was skeptical at first due to the over exaggerated acting (this is my second drama I've watched. You're Beautiful was first) I was able to fall in love with the series and am completely in love with all the characters! I personally feel bad for Nakatsu, but what can you do?! She came for Sano...and left with Sano!

Verdict: 9/10

Perhaps I’m a tad tired of watching dramas with similar plots: boy meets girl, girl is poor, boy is rich but arrogant and, through some miraculous turn of events (or, in other words, 10 hours of footage later), they end up married.

Hana Kimi takes only one element from that equation: boy meets girl. Or actually, in this case, it’s boy meets boy. In short, Ashiya Mizuki is a Japanese-American girl who impersonates a boy in order to get into an all-boy’s high school in Japan. Why? She idolizes Sano Izumi, one of the school’s star high jumpers who suddenly quits after getting injured while trying to save Mizuki (he was at a track meet in California). Mizuki thinks it’s all her fault and decides to cut her hair, ditch her parents and fly to Japan – just to convince Sano to jump again.

Sounds crazy, right? Perhaps. I thought so too until I finished the 12-ep series. And I must say, with conviction, it’s my favourite drama so far. I’ve already seen it twice.

Though the plot sounds a bit fantastical, the actors make it so worthwhile. First, it’s a fun teenage drama with both serious and comedic scenes that alternate fast enough to leave you wanting more. It’s never too funny nor too sappy and romantic for too long.

As a viewer, you can really witness Sano’s transition (thanks in part to good acting by Oguri Shun) and though the series is short in comparison to Taiwanese dramas, Sano and Mizuki’s relationship develop at a good pace. And I absolutely adore Mizuki’s best friend Nakatsu, who falls in love with her, still thinking she’s a dude.

Horikita Maki, who plays Mizuki, is by far one of the sweetest on-screen Asian actresses I’ve seen. Though she portrays a fantastic boy, her subtle but feminine mannerisms shine through, making Nakatsu and Sano’s affection for her seem much more believable.

The three dorm heads and their rivalries give the series its comedic relief. Without the randomness of their activities, I don’t think I would’ve enjoyed it half as much. Plus, the three dorms always find a way to make up.

The best scene in the entire series, for me, was the opening ceremony, when the high school boys did a cheer dance to Avril Lavigne’s Girlfriend. That three-minute scene sealed the deal for me. I give this drama a 9/10.

I absolutely love this show!

If you need a funny show, then Hana Kimi is the funniest that I can think of. It's full of laughs, though sometimes slapstick. The funniest character is actually Nakatsu (Ikuta Toma). I don't want to spoil so I suggest that you watch it instead.

I don't think that I would ever get tired of watching this show. The storyline is different since there is always a full substory that makes up the whole series. There would always be one issue in an episode that makes the show interesting to watch. All of the characters have their own unique personality so it's easy to recognize them even though there's more than 15 important characters. I think that Horikita Maki was able to show how good she was in acting. Oguri Shun fits the role perfectly. He's reserved as ever but he seems to be like the guy who would high jump since he's so skinny.

I have never read the manga so I wouldn't know how accurate the show really is. But in my opinion, it's a pretty good show.
