Review: Hana Kimi Japan

Hanazakari No Kimitachi E or Hana Kimi is the story of a Japanese girl (Ashiya Mizuki) living in America who saw a Japanese athlete (Sano Izumi) compete gracefully in a high jump event on TV. Since then, she has idolized this athlete and resolved to get closer to him even going back to Japan to attend his school disguised as a boy (Sano goes to an exclusive school for boys). They even became roommates! The story then details the mishaps she encountered in that all-boys school as she tries to get closer to Sano.

I learned that this series came from a Japanese manga of the same name. This has already been created into a live action Taiwanese drama before the Japanese version. Forum discussions I've read say that the Taiwanese Drama followed the manga closely. Japanese dramas tend to change some stuff and mix scenes because their series are typically up to 12 eps only. One example of the changes is that in the original manga and TW version, Ashiya got into the school just to be close to her idol. That's kinda stupid for me... But in the Japanese version, they included a deeper reason than just idolizing someone. Sure, she idolized Sano but they've shown that because of that, Sano got hurt. There was a scene where she tried to visit him in a training camp in America but was attacked by thugs. Sano came to her rescue and ended up getting hurt and stopped competing. She now has quite a valid reason to go to Japan -- to make her idol jump again. So there...

Anyway, what I like about this series is that it's short -- 12 episodes at normally 45min each except for the first and last episodes. There were also lots of eyecandy (really, really cute guys) hehehe. I originally planned to watch this because of Shun Oguri who plays the role of Sano (he's also in Gokusen 1, Densha Otoko, Hana Yori Dango 1 and 2, and Azumi). But after the first 2 episodes, I was already rooting for Nakatsu played by Toma Ikuta (he was also in HYD 2 eps 1 and 2 as Junpei). He was so hilarious as the soccer player who thinks he's getting gay because he seems to like Ashiya. I still can't get over his Ore Wa Homo Ja Nai! expression. Hahahaha!!! The other guys are also hilarious. Not just them but also the scenes especially the rivalry between Dorms. Nakatsu was the most hilarious that's why he's my favorite. And I really like Horikita Maki (Ashiya Mizuki) here esp. her haircut.

Overall, I really, really enjoyed this series. I hope that if there isn't going to be a 2nd season, at least there'll be a special. They did show that the boys are planning on a field trip to California where Ashiya resides. c",)
