Before it graces our screens as an anime, Hanazakari no Kimitachi e was a groundbreaking romance comedy manga created by the brilliant Hisaya Nakajo. The series captivated readers in the pages of Hana to Yume magazine, running from August 1996 all the way to August 2004. Hakusensha brought the story to its conclusion with the 23rd and final volume published in November 2004.
The enduring popularity of Nakajo-sensei’s work is evident in its staggering success, boasting a cumulative 17 million copies of its volumes in circulation. Its influence even extended internationally, with Viz Media licensing the manga for English release in 2004 and publishing the 23rd volume in April 2008. The manga’s rich history and widespread appeal set a high bar, and the upcoming anime is ready to honor that legacy and introduce it to a new generation of fans.
