This was a hilarious romantic comedy based on the wonderful manga series with the same name (or Hana-Kimi for English distribution) and I really enjoyed it. Many people would compare it to the Taiwanese version of it. And I only saw little bits of that version and didn't like it at all. Dont know why. It's just... yeah... haha. I'm sure many would agree. I don't want to get into comparing. But I'll make macho amounts of compliments. Every character is so cute. I love their character. That would be like a perfect school life for me. haha as I write this, the ending theme is stuck in my head for some reason.
This shows the basic character connections. But haha no matter how I look at Ashiya, it's a girl.
In a matter of 12 episodes this really was amazing. I have no words for it. It's amazing lalalala.
I can't get enough. The beginning theme is "Ikenai Taiyo" by Orange Range The ending theme song being, "Peach" by Ai Otsuka (the artist we love ♥). A few insert songs are My Love by Kawashima Ai, Boom boom boom by Go Hiromi, Paradise Ginga by Hikaru Genji, Tomaranai Ha~Ha by Yazawa Eikichi, Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne . haha Girlfriend was pretty popular in Japan.. its scary....
*She also sung the song for 'Tada Kimi Wo Aishiteru /Heavenly Forest' "Renai Shashin"
The plot follows Ashiya Mizuki, a young girl in the United States who admires a young athlete named Sano Izumi who competes in the high jump on tv. She idolizes his determination and words. But through complicated events, he stops. And she must go to Japan, got to the same school as him, and convince him. Izumi, however, attends an all-boys school. Mizuki must disguise her self as a boy to get him back on the high jumping sport, where he belongs.
I liked the idea of teamwork, family, and the end.. It made me cry. I loved this. It was quick, beautiful and hell Horikita Maki really fits the role. So does Oguri, he really is... something. He can glare. And lol... now I glare like him XD. The story was so perfect almost. I really loved it. All the drama of a manga such as foot bleedings, surprisings stuff, EH?'s (lol and billions of them). And how can we forget cute little Nakatsu talking to himself. I love that guy XD .
Good actors, good easy to remember Dorms, and hell... big casting probably. I loved it, and ... no offense to Ella. But... let the Japanes dramatize what they made :P. This was so hilarious, so dramatic, and that piano music every now and then. And Nakatsu's nosebleeds♥.
haha damn...
haha.. Taiwanese version... shameful... I'm sorryl XD.
Mark: 10/10 (lol)
