Kamio serialized Hana yori Dango in Margaret from October 1992 to April 2008, followed by a sequel manga in Shounen Jump+ from February 2015 to December 2019. VIZ Media published all 37 volumes in English from August 2003 to June 2009.
Toei Animation adapted the manga into a television anime that aired in 51 episodes between Fall 1996 and Summer 1997. An anime movie set in an alternative timeline premiered in March 1997.
The manga has been adapted into multiple live-action drama series and films, most notably the Taiwanese and Japanese adaptation, both of which spanned two seasons. The latter received a sequel film in 2008.
Synopsis
In early-1900s London, Lili Ichijouin, a Japanese exchange student travels to England to enroll in the prestigious Saint Thomas Art Academy. Determined to become a painter, she arrives under pressure: her parents expect her to rise to the top of her class within six months or return home.
Lili’s drive intensifies when she encounters Kit Church, a gifted aristocratic student known for his talent and detachment. While Kit has devoted himself entirely to painting, Lili’s sincerity and resilience begin to shift something in him. The two share little beyond their love for art, yet their relationship quickly becomes central to life at the academy. (Source: Netflix, edited)
