RIP Hisaya Nakajo-sensei.

I'm glad that your seminal work can finally be adapted into anime with so much care and love.

melindypants2026-01-04 20:09

I was wondering why this got an adaptation being an early 2000s shoujo and now it makes more sense. I think it's definitely bittersweet when they adapt in honor of the mangaka who passed - reminds me of Migi to Dali & Magical Girl and Evil Lieutenant Used to be Archenemies.

It'd be great if we got an entire adaptation!

sunnydayz572026-01-05 01:35

I may be wrong, but when I was reading articles surrounding the anime back when it was first announced, it sounded it was already in production before Nakajo sensei's passing since they mentioned that she was involved in some areas such as overseeing the original rough drafts for the character designs. Either way, it's a great way to honor her work and I'm just glad this manga is finally getting animated.

melindypants2026-01-05 10:54

Oh wow so she was involved in the beginning! That makes it all the more bittersweet - I hope this adaptation is exactly what she envisioned ♡

Calwings2026-01-04 22:01

F

I really hope that this anime does the manga and the author justice, especially if we can get a full adaptation. It's off to a great start so far, here's hoping it can keep up the quality.

alconnow2026-01-04 15:38

I loved the tribute message to the manga creator Hisaya Nakajo. She sadly passed away from heart disease in 2023

The doggy is super cute

Magnafeana2026-01-04 15:39

A two episode drop? So we had the early release of Tamon, two episodes of Kaguyasama, one hour episode of Sentenced to be a Hero, and two episode drop of Hana-Kimi?!

I love switching back from EN when they’re in the US to JP when we’re now in Japan. Still remember the Great Pretender doing that embedded into the episode. I kinda wish they did that here for the beginning.

I did not expect this to be the sound of the OP. But YOASOBI supremacy.

And they were roommates!

*Oh my god, they’re roommates.*

The gender-sniffing dog. Doggo can be the most gender-affirming creature, outs you, or denies your gender.

How did they even get that many pictures…

Would that be mpreg? I mean… The mpreg is implied, but it’s still just pregnancy since Ashiya is a lady. But also, I won’t turn down mpreg…

Izumi is such a cutie when he smiles.

I love that the captains sound like obsessed LIs 😭 They are on a manhunt.

Rest in peace, Hisaya Nakajo. You died too young, but you will not be forgotten ❤️

She died of heart disease in 2023 (🔗 [**Hakusensha JP**](https://www.hakusensha.co.jp/information/69254/) & [**ANN EN**](https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2023-10-26/hana-kimi-creator-hisaya-nakajo-passes-away-at-50/.203814)) at 50 😞

***

Excited to hear Umehara (Nanba). He’s also voicing Gil from <A Gentle Noble’s Vacation Recommendation> and ✨Aquasteed Marineforest✨from <The Villainess is Adored by the Prince of the Neighbor Kingdom>, so I’m excited for his appearances in those too.

dhui19962026-01-04 16:29

Kunon the Sorcerer Can See also has a double episode drop today!

Magnafeana2026-01-04 17:29

OOO I gotta run to that now, goddamn Sunday is stacked 🏃🏿‍♀️

Frontier2462026-01-04 17:28

Umehara is like contractually obligated to be in these kinds of anime's at least once per season lol.

szalhi2026-01-04 15:42

~~*Gaydar's in shambles.*~~

Wow, an Actual haircut. Not like that Vampire dormitory nonsense. Though it seems I have an attraction towards a certain appearance. *Yes, that includes Yuu.*

I would call it a friendship speedrun. But does it count if the true intention is different?

Frontier2462026-01-04 17:27

Can this show match Vampire Dormitory in being the most insane gayest straight show of all times? At the very least, Mizuki's disguise is a little more sensible lol.

I get the vibe that Mizuki was smitten at first sight to Sano but hadn't quite figured out the distinction between admiration/respect and love by this point. Also she's used to American relationships so she probably thinks just starting as friends is how courtships usually work instead of confessions.

intrepid-teacher2026-01-05 15:28

Idk Vampire Dormitory, but it’s definitely going to be a huge contender. Though I’m biased, because the manga was foundational to my LGBT awakening lol.

PhantomWolf832026-01-04 15:47

I haven't read the manga or watched the live drama versions of this show, so I'm going in completely blind. I was quite sad to see that the original mangaka had passed away before the anime debut, RIP.

As for the anime itself, I felt it was okay. The art is good and the characters are pretty decent. Not sure how I feel about Mizuki's motivations in enrolling in the first place, her actions come across as stalker-ish to me. I think I will give this a little more time to see if I get into it.

avboden2026-01-04 19:18

> Not sure how I feel about Mizuki's motivations in enrolling in the first place, her actions come across as stalker-ish to me.

not just-ish, this is full blown mentally-ill stalking. She literally saw someone on TV, moved countries, faked her gender to attend an all boys school all just to get close to the guy she saw on TV.

Even for anime that's *wild*

Niwaka_Samurai2026-01-04 19:39

Shoujo manga girls are keepers

melindypants2026-01-04 20:15

Early 2000s shoujo just hits different LOL

vButts2026-01-06 02:29

Truly delulu 😂😂

Calwings2026-01-04 22:03

Mizuki is on some next level simpery

gem2niki2026-01-04 23:15

I have to turn off my brain on this. It gets uncomfortable. She even tries to kiss? him in his sleep. Yikesss.

melindypants2026-01-04 20:13

I think they nailed the early 2000s shoujo feeling (considering it is) and I'm here for it - I loved how shoujo was back then and maybe I'm a little bias to the nostalgia it gives me.

Some tropes just didn't age well and the FL definitely is strange/stalkerish but I'm curious about her in general. Moving overseas to attend an all-boys school is pretty wild.

Natsu-Neko2026-01-06 18:07

I'll look at the second episode by I think I will drop it. To much creeper vibes from like half of the characters.

thisisdropd2026-01-04 15:51

The Doc is a sharp one. Figured Mizuki out in a single episode. Doubt he'll rat her out or blackmail her so it'll be interesting to see what he'd do afterwards.

That ending tribute, though. Hit me right in the feels.

ash-78312026-01-07 01:04

To be fair, a doctor who can't tell if someone is a boy or a girl? If I was in charge, I'd fire him.

ObvsThrowaway51202026-01-04 16:09

Caught this one early at AnimeNYC back in August. I remember thinking when I saw this it had a pretty Ouran-esque vibe to it. It’s not bad, definitely gonna have lots of hijinks due to the whole “secret girl” thing.

noirblancherouje2026-01-04 16:17

this manga predates Ouran, it is one of the trope makers for gender benders so some of it might seem a bit dated.

Frontier2462026-01-04 17:29

Without this show Vampire Dormitory might never exist!

ObvsThrowaway51202026-01-05 02:56

Ah, gotcha. I’m pretty unfamiliar with this one but that’s interesting to know. Is this a new adaptation or a reboot of an older classic?

noirblancherouje2026-01-05 02:57

This is a new adaptation there has only been live action adaptations so this is its first anime in 30 years

ObvsThrowaway51202026-01-05 02:58

Oh, nice ok. Keen to see how this plays out.

Pandaleelee2026-01-04 22:57

I really expected an Ouran-esque vibe. but the anime isn’t that at all. the manga is for sure which is why I expected it. The manga, like OHSHC manga as well, has big reactions and unexpected comments… silly character tropes and situations. serious and romantic moments… it has secrets and desire. The anime… wasn’t that. while still following the exact same plotline of the manga.

certain quips felt cut out or re-phrased… reactions missing… lack of background music really made it feel hollow. It has so much potential but my immediate vibe of the anime is that it’s taking itself too seriously??? some of the sillier lines and moments that stayed in didn’t hit hard because there was lack of build up, or no background sounds to emphasize or make it come across in a silly way. making those moments read as awkward or weird instead.

I rewatched an episode of fruits basket, and ouran afterwards. for both I really realized it’s the lack of music and sound effects. like take those out of those two shows and you’ll get the hana kimi anime. imagine Ouran without its bouncy classic music… except for during emotional moments and it’s played way too quietly.

noirblancherouje2026-01-04 16:19

my favorite type of casting is when FukuJun voices smuggish assholes

Frontier2462026-01-04 17:25

Guys' been in enough of these types of shows and now he's playing the adult character who has no time for this nonsense unless it amuses him lol.

LeonKevlar2026-01-04 16:27

[Confessing immediately on Day 1?](https://i.imgur.com/ELXPngX.png) This girl is way more unhinged than I thought. xD

[I already like this kansai-ben dude.](https://i.imgur.com/6vsiFXJ.png) It's been barely a day [and he's already asking personal questions.](https://i.imgur.com/kTrydb9.png)

[This girl has absolutely no filter, and it's hilarious!](https://i.imgur.com/zdnRNNo.png) I wonder if she even realizes what she's doing.

No surprise that [the all-boys dorm is already praising Mizuki as the new idoi](https://i.imgur.com/OMic210.png).

[Girl is so in love that she can't even stop herself from trying to kiss Sano while he's napping](https://i.imgur.com/CfpoN6K.png)

[There it is.](https://i.imgur.com/sLHcKdD.png) There was no way that the doctor wouldn't notice. Also, I think Sano already noticed, too.

Welp, that was fun! HanaKimi is one of those series that I've heard about since the 2000s (I know it's a 90s manga), but I never really got into it since it wasn't really my kind of manga back then. I'm glad that this anime adaptation exists, so I can finally give it a shot.

With that said, is it just me or did anyone else feel this was just an "Okay" episode? Considering the impact this series had on the genre, I was expecting a bit more. Like, they got YOASOBI to do the opening and ending, but the overall presentation didn't quite hit the mark. I'm still gonna watch this because I am curious about the story, I just wish the visuals and animation had more impact.

Frontier2462026-01-04 17:24

You can tell she was raised in America because she probably doesn't even know what a love confession is and is much more open with her emotions and being close to someone than your average Japanese girl.

I mean, she nearly stole a kiss and it's already episode 1 lol.

e_t_2026-01-04 21:20

>kansai-ben

I noticed he said yorosh**uu** (よろしゅう spelling?) rather than yoroshi**ku** (よろしく) I wouldn't be able to pick out what's kansai-ben and what's slang.

Raiking022026-01-04 23:02

>I already like this kansai-ben dude

Side note, the credits have an actual Kansai-ben consultant which is kinda hilarious to me.

gnome-cop2026-01-05 18:00

She moved to an entirely new country to infiltrate an all-boys school for a guy she’s presumably never even met. Unhinged is just the required baseline to pull that off.

ash-78312026-01-07 01:01

>Considering the impact this series had on the genre,

I imagine it would have taken more than a few chapters at the beginning to earn that reputation. Let's give it time.

Shmappii2026-01-04 16:30

An insane American teenager lies to everyone to get into an all-boys school in Japan to get close to a prominent high jumper. She breaks the land-speed record, nearly assaults an unconscious man twice, gets concussed, and then a registered medical professional pins her to a bed when challenging her gender presentation.

I had to look it up afterwards and was not surprised to see the source material being from the 90s, shit was crazy back then.

potatozama2026-01-04 16:36

Still in shock this finally got an adaptation after all these years.

Feels nice to reunite with all the characters and see them animated/hear them voiced. Really loving the main trio so far, they're more or less how I imagined they'd sound like back when I first read this.

Fun to see things from Mizuki's POV in the OP.

Nice to see Nakatsu be quick to befriend Mizuki and get chummy with her. Sano not so much, but at least he's slowly warming up.

Wish Nakajo-sensei was around to see this, R.I.P.

avboden2026-01-04 16:43

So she's an actually mentally ill stalker?

eightcheesepizza2026-01-04 16:49

Damn Americans, they don't know the otaku rules. You can't get close to your oshi! Perhaps Mizuki watched *Tamon's B-side* and got the wrong idea.

Looking at the cast list, I'm delighted that the VA for Subaru from *Fragrant Flower* is now surrounded by guys, and that her first friend is voiced by Usami's VA.

Frontier2462026-01-04 17:29

Also girl nearly skipped to first base before they've even held hands!

I'm really happy to see Aya Yamane headlining her own Shojo anime!

mr_beanoz2026-01-04 22:26

As her Uma Musume character would say, "Weeeei~!!!"

DugACCat2026-01-05 01:21

She’s really not very good at pretending to be a guy, but I guess that’s the point, especially so early along. But I felt a lot of second hand embarrassment at how she was being with him when he was sleeping outside. He’s your roommate! Wait to steal a closer peek when you’re both sleeping!

kalirion2026-01-05 03:15

> But I felt a lot of second hand embarrassment at how she was being with him when he was sleeping outside.

Yeah, that's when it got too much for me so I dropped at that point.

SweetCoconut2026-01-05 04:07

It's a mini-Kaoru Hana reunion too with one of the guys voiced by Saku's VA

eightcheesepizza2026-01-05 04:16

Ah yeah, he plays those dark-haired contemplative guys well, doesn't he? Saku, Kabo from *Wandance*, Jouji from *Captivated, by You*, Miyamura from *Horirmiya*, etc.

testthrowawayzz2026-01-05 05:51

Toya Kikinosuke plays a kind of dumb character here too. Listening to him speaking the kansai dialect was a treat

coffeedonuthazalnut2026-01-06 17:41

He voiced denji right?

testthrowawayzz2026-01-06 18:34

Yup

Bavier332026-01-04 16:54

How's the animation quality?

Otherwise-Waltz-32112026-01-04 17:15

I still can't believe this series is getting adapted into anime, it looks fantastic! Also kudos to Yoasobi for two new bangers, i love OP theme so muchhh

They did justice to all characters. They all look super cool. Especially Izumi. Also I didn't recall Nakatsu speaking in accent but now that i heard him speak he feels more friendly/cheerful now which is really in character for him.

Tbh it freaked me out when i first read the manga and saw Mizuki going to all boys school just to meet Izumi but now it didn't bug me any bit. I found it inspirational, even. I'm sure we'll get to know about her source of admiration soon enough. For now, i'm just rooting for her to survive in an all boys school&dorm!

Frontier2462026-01-04 17:21

Starting off with our Heroine in her underwear! Though the main takeaway is Mizuki Ashiya (Aya Yamane!) cutting her hair to show her resolve to go to Japan and follow her "Star" as recounted by her blonde beautie American Gal Pal Julia! RIP to her long hair, but she rocks the sporty tomboy look quite well!

Yoasobi OP! Featuring Mizuki chasing Sano, all the handsome men in her life, her supporting cast, and just a really fun, cute, Shojo OP!

Classic Shojo romcom moment: be late for school, bump into the male lead, immediately have him clock how girlish she is, and end up in the same classes together! Though she kind of jumps the gun a little "confessing" her feelings (and desire for friendship) to Sano (Taku Yashiro) and making everything think she's the class gay kid.

But even if she kind of struck out with Sano, at least she gets off to a good start with Nakatsu (Kikunosuke Toya!) who is a friendly blonde bro who wants to talk about how Americans "pleasure" themselves! And "Dr. Sadist" AKA Umeda (Jun Fukuyama!).

Yeah, she's doing a great job maintaining her cover as a girl pretending to be a boy, what with Nakatsu already seeing her as girlish, the girl-friendly dog Yujiro being all over her, and her seemingly flat chest fooling Nakatsu. She's not sure how to feel about that last one.

Oh of COURSE she's going to be roommates with Sano. Too bad that the high-jump ace she fell for and that she followed all the way to an all-boys school...is not doing the high-jump anymore, the thing she admired most about him.

Also at the dorm is Kayashina (Kouki Uchiyama!), the dorm RA Nanba (Yuichiro Umehara!) who Mizuki better hope doesn't find out she's a girl because he seems like a womanizer, and Nakao (Reiji Kawashima!) who against Mizuki's own desire she's now in competition with for school idol. And this is only her first day!

Sano may not be high-jumping any more but that's not going to stop Mizuki from getting a little TOO cozy with him while he's dozing off next to a tree...she just can't help herself! And so of course Yujiro pushes them together so they're on top of each other. I mean, this IS a classic Shojo after all.

Take a shot every time Mizuki finds Sano sleeping! Though this time she REALLY tries to kiss him while he's asleep because she can't help herself.

Wow, Mizuki's track skills are legit! Enough to where she beats the best boy record and ALL the clubs want her to join up! Good thing she's fast enough to outrun them, but Nakatsu has too much pride to let Mizuki beat his running time without a fight...even if that means a soccer match with Mizuki that ends with her hurt.

Well, Mizuki would probably appreciate being princess carried by Sano (even if he may or may not have realized something from touching her body), but Umeda has figured her out!

Nice tribute to Hisaya Nakajo-sensei at the end.

silkystrawberrymilk22026-01-04 23:34

Oooooo

I’m gonna have to watch this when this airing ends

zz20002026-01-05 10:28

2007 version or 2011 version?

Apparently there was also a Kdrama version too, starring Choi Minho and the late Sulli.

shuwing35892026-01-06 17:49

2007 is the one with Horikita Maki, Oguri Shun, and Toma Ikuta as the 3 main. Orange Range and Otsuka AI did the OP/ED respectively.

The 2007 version is generally considered the better version of the j-drama

i_reddit_too_mcuh2026-01-07 07:16

Holy hell. No wonder the anime felt familiar - turns out I watched the drama as well!

djthomp2026-01-04 17:45

Well she sure didn't last long before getting found out, would have been hard to keep the secret from Sano rooming with him and all. And the school medical staff knowing too is probably for the best.

I feel a bit bad for Sano suddenly getting this roommate that is way too obsessed with him.

Very good dog.

Frickroll2026-01-04 17:51

Was about to say I'm getting a lot of Ouran vibes, but I actually found that the original manga of this actually pre-dates that and originated a lot of the tropes of the subgenre. Neat to know! As for this first episode, it seems pretty neat! Was surprised by hearing a Yoasobi opening for this, funny enough. I want to learn more about the main cast and what our main girl's motivations are for going all the way to Japan for this, since I can't help but feel there's a bigger reason than what's first implied. I'll keep up with this one!

coffeecakesupernova2026-01-04 18:11

Typical stalker anime. That dog's expression though. I'm staying for the dog.

Wait. This is the famous Hana-Kimi?? Ok, I have to watch this, and forgive it its old tropes, so long as it doesn't get rapey.

Williukea2026-01-04 18:16

I assume Sano noticed that Mizuki is very light for a guy and may be related to why he quit sports (injury? Can't carry heavy stuff?)

Williukea2026-01-04 18:17

I wonder how much we'll see of Julia, since she remained in US, but she does appear in opening

Niwaka_Samurai2026-01-04 19:38

Haven't read the manga but happy to see it gets an adaptation after a longtime.
I wonder why this didn't get an anime adaptation for so long despite getting a live action. I wish the mangaka Hisaya Nakajo was alive to see this.

This reminds me more of the movie 'She's the man' but Hana-Kimi actually seems to predate this movie.

Yoasobi is doing the op and ed.. perfect ✨❤️

Mizuki getting caught in the first episode lol didn't see that coming. You can't really fool the eyes of a doctor. Asano also seems to have caught on to her identity.

NanDemoKnaives2026-01-04 20:25

It was clear the school doctor figured it out straight away but Sano likely knows too. Did the doctor need to kabedon Mizuki to ask that question though?

Nakatsu saying talking to Nanba would get Mizuki pregnant was amusing lol, I like that Nanba overheard it.

It is awkward to see how proactive Mizuki is about getting close to Sano, they don't really know each other so her watching him sleep was a bit much for me.

BusouDrago2026-01-04 21:00

I recommend the live action drama series

Shiawase_Rina2026-01-04 21:26

Ah, yes one of the godfathers of crossdressing female protagonists in manga!

I got a lot to thank Hana Kimi's impact for since who knows if Ouran Highschool Host Club would've even existed without it.
There are other crossdressing stories that I like a lot too like Caught by the Villain, The Kings Beast, Jack Jeanne and Psychedelica of the Ashen Hawk. Definitely more that I just can't remember right now.

Kinda crazy that's it's only getting an anime now. May the mangaka rest in peace.

It's looking like a decent adaption! I love the quality Tamon is getting this season, but this is serviceable too. At least compared to some unfortunate shoujo adaptions I have suffered through (what did they do to you 7 Seeds...).

It will be nice to revisit this story even if due to it's age and influence on other works it won't feel new.

StrictCelery2026-01-04 21:51

I’m so happy this is finally getting the anime treatment. The manga has had a special place in my heart for many years (as have the live action Japanese and Korean adaptations).

They nailed the vibe and the production was better than I was expecting. My best boy Nakatsu lives again!

dimkaluv2026-01-05 02:15

Nakatsu 🥹💖

jus_plain_me2026-01-04 22:33

Feels weird without Ikenai Taiyou as the OP, no matter how much I love Yoasobi those shoes are too big to fill.

shuwing35892026-01-05 02:40

Same here. It's not the same without Orange Range singing Ikenai Taiyou. There's a special soft spot in me when it comes to Orange Range singing Ikenai Taiyou.

coffeedonuthazalnut2026-01-06 17:45

Here i am wishing there will be hint of 2007 OST in the anime. Peach at least

CynicalOne_3132026-01-05 01:44

OMG, I am SO happy to see Hana Kimi got an anime adaptation! 🥹

This first episode was so nostalgic and reminded me why I love these characters.

Edit: forgot to add the feels when I saw the tribute to Nakajo Hisaya-sensei. RIP 🕊️

minnieboss2026-01-05 01:54

I feel like this should have gotten an anime closer to when it came out, the modern style and dated tropes just aren't doing it for me.

It's hard for me to get into the opening theme without Orange Range singing Ikenai Taiyou. That is a GOATED opening.

She convince her parents to move to Japan, but do they know she's attending a boys-only school?

That was a very quick love confession.

What did Blondie mean by "Do they go harder over there"? Sex stuff? Harder than what?

"The bath in your room is off-limits after midnight." That would certainly be extremely annoying.

Too much cringe for me in this one, so I'm stopping 2/3 into the ep.

> She convince her parents to move to Japan, but do they know she's attending a boys-only school?

Somehow I feel she omitted that little detail from her explanation.

The first song played in the background after the OP was really reminding me of a sign of affections OP...
And we have England from hetalia in this series

This scene is iconic!

Seems like there's already a pre-determined winner from the get-go.

And of course she ran right into him...

Gee what a coincidence...

Ok...

Gee how convenient...

Of all the people to be rooming with...

Lol she's starting at him sleeping...

Lol every club is chomping at the bit to recruit her after she pulled that off.

Bruh she's trying to kiss him.

Uh oh, he knocked her out!

Well, that was quick.

Engrish...

I’ve finally begun watching, and I’m too excited for all of this! I’m only partly through the intro but AAA I love it so much. All the characters are so recognizable too. It feels good that this story has the manga, dramas, AND an anime now

dagreenman182026-01-06 03:55

Admittedly I did not recognize this story until I was already watching the episode. Crazy that this got an adaptation after so long. It is classic 00’s shojo that we just don’t get that often. Seeing that tribute message though makes me think that’s probably why we got this adaptation though.

I just love listening to the Kansai dialect.

Huge Ouran High School Host Club vibes from this

Natsu-Neko2026-01-06 18:06

The voices and animation is good. But it gives me a LOT of creeper vibes. Like her motive for enrolling and even going so far as to fake identity ist mad stalker vibes. Her trying to kiss him twice, is short of body autonomy violation. The doctor gives me the creeeeeps. And the dorm guy who says "boys are not me target" just ewwww he sees women as pray. Like the only morally decent characters so far are the main and the blond guy. I will look at the second episode, but if it's stays the same I don't think I will be able to take the grapy vibes half of the cast gives me. *shudders*

I just saw this on Crunchyroll and screamed!! Omg I’m so excited.

Ok_End77572026-01-07 20:07

So I'm just starting the anime today, I'm a few minutes in but was wondering how would she fake the records of her being female?

ElliotAlderson20242026-01-10 07:24

Hard to believe this manga originates in 1996!
