Thread: Hana Kimi- manga and drama

Hana Kimi was one of the first manga I read (maybe it was the first? haha) and I loved it loved it loved it. I finished the whole series, but I promise I won't spoil it for you. ;] I especially loved Mizuki's weird relationship with Umeda-sensei, but I seriously didn't catch that Sano knew that she was a girl until halfway through the entire series.. It wasn't as obvious in the manga.

The Taiwanese drama is eh.. I'm enduring it, hehe. I wouldn't say that it's the best manga to Live Action adaptation. I bet Japan will come out with their own version in a few years. (Just like what they did in Hana Yori Dango to go against Meteor Garden.. I really thought Meteor Garden was really boring, sorry.)

The TW version is bearable. It helps that the actor for Sano is unbelievably adorable, hehehe. ^^; Yes, I'm guilty of continuing to watch a series if there's at least a couple of bishies to keep my eyes on the screen. Sano did figure out that she was a girl from the start which wasn't as subtle as the manga.

Some of the things that happen in the Live Action are kinda weird and acted really badly.. And the actor for Umeda-sensei is no good! He makes me want to cry. >_<;

If Japan comes out with their own version, I'll definitely watch it. :]

Eeee!! HOW DID I MISS THIS THREAD?!?!?! *calms down*

Well... the Hana Kimi manga I simply adore. It's cute, and even though the plot of a girl disguising herself in an all boys school or w/e is getting to be kind of overdone... I think I like this one the best >0< The only thing I don't like is how abruptly it ends =/

The Taiwanese drama = LIFE for me!! (Or... it did when it was still airing...). I LOVE Jiro Wang (the guy who played Nakatsu's character). His actions are always so weird and over-the-top that he seems like an anime/manga character himself, IMO ^o^ And I like him better in this drama than I did in ISWAK (another drama, also based off a manga). And Sano? Totally HOT! Not to mention it was nice to actually hear Wu Zun's voice in a drama (the last drama he was in, Tokyo Juliet ((also based off a manga)), apparently had to be dubbed because he wasn't fluent enough yet -.-;; ). I don't like most of the changes they made, but my favourite scene... "G-Y-A, GAY, okay?!?!" bwahahaha

Hana-Kimi is a great manga. It really keeps the interest going. Very cool and attractive characters too. The pictures are amazing as well.
