Totally agree that the good actors are wasted in this lousy script.
Wats with the lame competitions in every episode - they should have spent more time developing the characters and relationships. Just watching to see if they can redeem this mess at the end…

I don’t see how they can do a whole second season with Mizuki being discovered. But I do think the drama did Sano an injustice. In the photo shoot onward they did portray Sano as he was in the manga (always looking out for her & being extremely close to her). It made it more tense when the sudden division of them occured (because his father is a touchy subject).

But in the drama they made their closeness blossom too late and Nakatsu seems the better candidate. While in the manga he was like a puppy that kept humping Mizuki’s leg for attention & wouldn’t give up (even when the timing was ultra bad).

OMG ==____==
though i didn’t read all the manga, but it seems like some parts are surely missing like the parts where Mizuki and Sano sleep on the same bed ;P
and if this is the end it’s tooooooooooo short, but well we allways can hope for 2nd season like with Hana Yori Dango

I like this drama just for the Nakatsu self dialog scenes with the music and him making up reasons. I think he’s the only character that we can hear his thoughts.

The drama being really totally different with the manga has been a trend. I remember Itazura na Kiss. The whole thing was so rushed when looking from the vantage point of the manga but it was OK when considered as something separate and different.

I would have liked it though if they kept the Mizuki X Shin suggestion part. Well it was way too sudden even in the manga but having that plot event would really testify that this is indeed something coming from a shoujo manga. Hehehhe… it was kinda reminiscent of hana yori dango manga. During the whole story of that thing, its like all of them (F4) had some sort of romantic liking towards tsukushi except for the tea drinking nikishido guy.

I love the manga, it’s one of my faves and I loathe this drama with a passion which is a shame as I normally love all the actors involved. They’ve made Sano into a total tool and taken away the whole greatness of his and Mizuki’s relationship, and what’s with the stupid girls schoool? Ugh!!! Didn’t particularly like the Taiwanese version which is so weird as until this I’ve pretty much loved all the other manga adaptations I’ve seen like, Mars, Hana Yori Dango, Nodame Cantabile, Devil Beside You, Kimi Wa Petto, Gokusen, GTO, etc….

Huuuh. Well, after watching the episode 12 preview, everyone seems pretty happy– so I guess you may be right: she doesn’t technically end with anyone. But then if she doesn’t, then what will the 2 hour special be about? It can’t just be about like, everyone finding out, and they’ll all just be asking her questions, and that would be kinda boring. Buuu~

(I hope the side plot is good. *__*)

Well, just as long Nakatsu’s happy. It was funny with the nose-picking-sneezing challenge.

One more thing.
“Even if Sano was a little more likeable in this episode, it doesn’t redeem the fact that throughout this drama he was a fucking dick.”
AGREE! He was better to watch, but then thinking of what happened in earlier episodes… yeah.

Nakatsu ftw.

Nope, its about the 7 days rule and the linking to us rule.

NCIS have a rule you cannot host their releases for 7 days after they release it and when you host their files you have to label then a they are from NCIS group and link to NCIS website.

lol hinano its a kinda a mixture of both problems. NCIS doesn’t want their work to be redistributed by #lurk, and when it was NCIS wanted a 7 day waiting list thing but #lurk didn’t really comply and it kinda exploded into a drama.

@Darkron: I think the most basic thing that leechers should do is to respect the scanlators/fansubbers/whatevers wishes. And at any rate if you know how to download from lurk you can download from NCIS. And about the distribution burden, there are several reasons why we don’t want scans to be widely distributed openly. For example, if you know about Glass Mask, the scanlators have been sent a cease and desist letter before so all the Glass Mask scanlations are entirely underground and cannot be redistributed or else the scanlation group will close down. Likewise, the group I edit for, a Skip Beat scans group is also entirely underground (except a recent leak had all our scans distributed everywhere so you can find them at mangatraders now.. T__T) for similar reasons.
But back to the point. Since we leechers are benefiting off the scanlator’s time, effort, and money, don’t you think the least we can do is to respect their wishes?

(haha sorry for turning your simple post on hana kimi into a discussion about scanlators rights vs leechers rights)

I just know from past experience people from #lurk are on the same brain level as those of 4chan…so whenever I went in there it was literally to LURK while I leeched raw manga scans. I mean thanks to them I was able to read all of BLack Cat and most of my Naruto volumes!

Although I’m confused on Darkron’s response since it seems to cover a completely different issue then from I understand. I thought the issue was about NCIS complaining that people didn’t give them respect? It’s also about people in #lurk complaning that their raws are being scanlated ?_?

Oh the dorama.
