Hana Yori Dango, a.k.a. Boys Over Flowers Options

[Naomitron]

Has anyone else read this story? It's a series of epic proportions at 36 volumes, but it's fantastic. It's strange because you'd think that you would get bored with it after a while, but I didn't. Not once. As a matter of fact, it kept me up until six in the morning!

There is so much to this story that I don't even know where to begin to tell you about it, so instead I'll post a Wikipedia link! YAY!

Please don't associate the anime with the manga. The anime was HORRIBLE. I'm sure all the HYD fans would agree as well. Have you read the manga? If not, do so and you'll see what I mean. ;]

That's like associating the KareKano anime with the manga. If you ever watch(ed) it, the first episode is the only good one. Don't even GET me started on the horrible-ness of the anime. =X

I'm actually buying some of the HYD manga. I only have a few, but I stopped because manhwas got in the way. =X

The drama (Japanese) was really good! Matsumoto Jun (I think that's howyou spell it) was amazing in it! I mean, although it was short and they cut out a lot of things that were in the manga, it was a great watch! It's good enough that I'm sure true fans of the drama who haven't read the manga will start to, despite the art.

Meteor Garden... Feh, I only watched it because I came across it before the JDrama came out. Although, the guy who acts as Rui is pretty cute, and the guy who acts as Domyouji is HOT, which kept me watched. ;] The acting wasn't that great. The only good points of it were that it followed the storyline closely and there were more episodes, but it failed to portray the intensity that the manga and JDrama possessed.

The bad thing about the manga is that not all volumes are out. I've read it all online and I plan to have all 36. :P The art gets better somewhere along vol. 18 or something -- halfway through. So DON'T LET THE ART DISCOURAGE YOU! I mean, I've actually grown to like the way it was drawn in the beginning. It's interesting. :D


Well, sayoonara. ;]
