hana yori dango really means boys before flowersi'm done reading the online manga "Hana Yori Dango" by Yoko Kamio (all good praises for this genius
mangaka).
this is the sole reason why i haven't been updating my facebook, friendster, and my online diary--blog. i was facing this peecee for almost a week just reading the manga. but of course, i paid respect for the holy week so the pc was grounded for two days (and i'm so itching to turn it on during those days).
well it all started when i happen to read somebody's blog talking about "boys over flower" so i got curious and searched the manga then i just found myself sticking my eyeballs on the monitor.
well, i fell in love with the story, the characters (especially Doumyoji Tsukasa, leader of F4) and Japan (i wanna go there after dropping by HongKong and Macau 5 years from now).
who would expect a poor girl to study in such a high previleged school. well, makino tsukushi would survive in all the descriminations and hardships she may experience in that school. on the panel where tsukushi was started to be bullied, i glued myself in this seat. i got "kilig" when tsukasa realized he liked tsukushi and on the panels where they were about to kiss or just kissed. and love triangle are so typical but it is effective when it got in the way between these two lovers. there is hanazawa rui who thought to be in love with shizuka and eventually developed his feelings to makino tsukushi. kazuya also had his hidden desire to tsukushi. kin-san, the son of a politician liked makino, too. same goes to tsukasa's look-a-like (forgot his name, though). tsukushi really got an attitude that is unusual to these spoiled brats that made them like her. akira and sojirou were not serious with girls and good thing that did not fall for tsukushi, but they like her for a friend.
the girls in this story contributes a lot in tsukushi's life. yuuki, her bestfriend fell in love with a wrong guy and with sojirou. sakurako, the girl who was once in love with tsukasa when they were still in kinder and has became tsukushi's rival (but tsukushi did not took it seriously). shigeru, the girl who suddenly fell in love with tsukasa after being forced to be engaged with him. she evenually realized that they're not really for each other and helped tsukushi all along. those three mean girls in who were in the class with tsukushi, they didn't really helped her. tsubaki, tsukasa's sister, she's awesome. she beats tsukasa in front of the visitor's. she likes tsukushi for tsukasa and tried to protect her from their evil mum. kaede, tsukasa and tsubaki's evil mom (one of the villain ^^,). tama-san, the old maid who worked in the doumyoji household for 60 years and helped tsukushi in the ways she can.
tsukushi's family is great in some ways but most of the time, ANNOYING! papa and mama insisted her to study in eitoku no matter what. susume, tsukushi's lil annoying brother doesn't really annoyed me. he can be a passerby but tsukushi needs someone to help her add more problemin their house--- that is his role.
Tsukasa
i got head-over-heels on this phenomenal manga. i remembered my high school days when i'm helluvah gaga with its taiwanese version "Meteor Garden" (i even had a boyfriend who looked like Jerry Yan, the one who portrayed Dao Ming Si). it's not that i became so mean he's been a fad before... hahaha!---mean... (soooo nostalgic... high school days). well, i missed watching hana yori dango in gma cuz i'm Kapamilya. well, korean version would hit and smash the tv with "boys over flowers" and if only i could sacrifice my education for this, i would definitely do it (that's soo shallow). but i have great hopes that i would finish this series from start to end without missing an episode that is if there's no conflict on my schedules.
i took all the blame and scoldings when my cousins weren't able to put their hands on this pc because of me (tumaas rin singil ng davao light samin dahil dito). i monopolized it. i owned it for few days. i slept late and woke up late. i ate just 2-5 spoonful of my meals. i did not watch TV. i ignored the radio. i ignored facebook, friendster, and my blog. i barely text. my butt hurts from sitting 14 hours a day (of course i took a bath). however, i enjoyed my time reading this precious crap i was even copying/ writing some japanese characters... I HAD FUUUUNNN!!!
but i tell you, reading it first is always the best thing to do before watching it playing on screen.
and i chased after him...
yet i'm uncertain...as always...
