| Hana Yori Dango was a complete series all-in-all so I don't see how they could make a sequel without a new cast. I've enjoyed Kamio Yoko's other works, such as Cat Street and Matsuri Special, so I'll be looking forward to seeing how this plays out... The most interesting thing about this news for me, though, is that it will be publishing in Shounen Jump+. Shounen. Are they going to try to make this new series appeal more to both genders or will this be one of those shoujo-demographic-in-disguise manga that we see more and more? I don't think I'm brave enough to re-read the whole 37 volumes (good luck to those trying to finish them before Feb 15th), but this may be incentive for me to take the jdrama for another spin. MatsuJun ♥ |

MatsuJun ♥ I also wondered about that, but I suppose it's because there is no site like this just for shoujo manga, at least I cannot think of any at the moment. It's not like the whole 37 volumes would be available until then, though. About 7 volumes are available for free for 24 hours. |
Face_Faith said: The plot is primarily your common Cinderella story, so it's mainly the characters that make or break the series. Once Domyouji starts to develop is also where the series as a whole starts to develop, I think. I actually appreciated the series more after I watched the jdrama (which, funnily enough, had less drama than the manga).I didn't like the original series after reading some chapters or something, so maybe this is the chance to get into it. Face_Faith said: I'm not sure about Shueisha without looking, but shoujo manga also has digital platforms such as Shogakukan's Mobile Flowers. For some reason I thought Margaret had some sort of web spin-off as well, but I'm likely misremembering.I also wondered about that, but I suppose it's because there is no site like this just for shoujo manga, at least I cannot think of any at the moment. |

MatsuJun ♥ Yeah, I actually found that part to surprising as well. I should probably start this in the future. Heard this is a prominent shoujo series with a good amount of chapters and popularity. |
 |
| Maybe I should use this opportunity to read the manga finally! I keep forgetting to put it on my PTW but I guess I'll start it soon. |
| It's reverse harem season. |
zetsu_shoren said: This isn't a reverse harem, it's a romance series. The F4 aren't all interested in the heroine, nor she in them.It's reverse harem season. |
| I should really start reading it if it's that good. |
| A sequel? New cast? Shounen? What :v *disappointed* I thought they'd revamp it, not go for something else entirely. Well, I will still check it, I did like the manga/anime/jdrama/kdrama enough xD But my expectations are pretty low considering this info. Pity. |
   |
| i watched the drama versions (k & j) and really loved it. Not sure how close those are to the manga ofcourse. I will probably start reading the manga now :D |
 |
| Oh, cool. I have the anime on my PTW list, so I should probably watch the anime or read the manga soon. |
| oh damn.... the Korean drama was like my childhood lmao exciting news! |
 |
| Nah i'll rewatch the j-drama with Jun Matsumoto instead. |
| i think korean version was better than japan version |
 |
| The J-drama is more true to the manga! I couldn't stand the Korean because of they changed so much D: Its the same with the Korean hana kimi... -_- I can warn you if you watch the anime that the manga wasn't complete when they made it... Sooo the anime ending is not how it ended... And the animation quality isn't the best... And its the same with the J-drama ending too... The movie after is one big filler... It doesn't take place in the manga. aww memories when I was fangirling Tsukasa. I don't like him anymore >-> He is a plain abusive douche... |

| Maybe I'll finally give a shot to the manga, then... Buuut... I've had mostly boring experiences with shoujos so far :| |
 |
| Its been so long since I've read this and watched the dramas. Will see how this plays out with the new cast. |
 |
| KYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAHHHHHH~ I'm gonna go reread all the volumes again... For the 6th time. ^^ |
 |
| Watched the live adaptations; korean and taiwanese version. Loved it. Watched the anime; dissappointed/hated it. I dont know what to expect really. I havent read the manga yet so I dunno. |

| oh, seems pretty intersecting, looking forward to see an updated story with new characters. |
| Best-selling Shoujo?? I may getting into this series, but I really dislike harems altogether. |

Now that you mention this, there is one guy from this series who is infamous for being a DV男 (whatever you call this in English), don't know which character though since I'm not familiar with the names. I also heard that this author's other series are kind of similar, so I'll better keep my expectations low... pokeguy123 said: Yessssssss W8 is this a seiries sequel to the manga? tsubasalover said: The story will take place two years after the F4 (a group of four wealthy boys named "Flower Four") graduated, and will feature a new group of characters at Eitoku Gakuen. |
