Hua Yang Shao Nian Shao Nu  















































There are many differences in the Japanese drama and the manga. One example is that in the manga series Sano injured himself helping his friend, while in the Japanese drama he injured himself helping Mizuki. Another example is that how Nakatsu met Mizuki in a different way. Even though in both he was jealous of Mizuki's speed but in the Japanese drama he didn't like Mizuki at all in the beginning. Another thing is that Akiha Hara is a girl who likes Umeda Hokuto in the Japanese drama while he is a guy in the manga. The story is basically different from the manga. However the Taiwanese drama adaption was more accurate towards the manga's story. There are also many differences with the Taiwanese drama as well. Such as Nakatsu going with Julia in the end in the Taiwanese drama while in the manga even when she leaves they still hate each other. Another difference is that Sano's brother Shin is rarely mentioned in the Taiwanese adaption. Also Sekime and Noe don't have much of a significant role in the Taiwanese adaption.

Hana-Kimi centers around Mizuki Ashiya, a Japanese girl who lives in the United States  





































Hana-Kimi centers around Mizuki Ashiya, a Japanese girl who lives in the United States. One day, she sees a track and field competition on TV, and becomes attracted to one of the high jump competitors, Izumi Sano. She begins to idolize the young athlete and eventually transfers to Japan to attend the same school that Sano attends.
There is a catch, however: Sano attends an all-boys high school, named Osaka Gakuen, and Mizuki must disguise herself as a boy to enter. The majority of the series happens during Mizuki's second year at Osaka (from volume 4 onwards), although her first year was significant for her being able to remain in Osaka.
A Taiwanese drama based on Hana-Kimi has been produced, titled (direct translation: Hanayō Shōnen Shōjo or, in Mandarin, Hua Yang Shao Nian Shao Nu ('花樣少年少女'). This Chinese title is also the title used by the translation published by Tong Li. A Japanese drama adaptation has also been aired on Fuji TV, titled Hanazakari no Kimitachi e.
A series of three drama CDs has been released in Japanese. Nevertheless, the first CD is not available as a commercial release.
Two of Nakajo's one-shot works are included in the volumes of the series. Thirsty Moon is included in volume 4.
