Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., abbreviated as Hana-Kimi, is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hisaya Nakajo. The series was serialized in Hakusensha's semi-monthly Script error: No such module "lang". manga magazine Hana to Yume from September 1996 to August 2004. The series is also published in English by Viz Media, with the final volume released in April 2008. It was also adapted into several live-action television dramas. An anime television series adaptation produced by Signal.MD aired from January to March 2026. A second season is set to premiere in July 2026.

The series centers on Mizuki Ashiya, a Japanese girl who lives in the United States. One day, she sees a track and field competition on TV, and becomes attracted to one of the high jump competitors, Izumi Sano. She begins to idolize the young athlete and eventually transfers to Japan to attend the same school that Sano attends. Sano attends an all-boys high school named Osaka Gakuen and Mizuki attempts to disguise herself as a boy to enter.

Setting

Osaka Gakuen (桜咲学園; Ohsaka Academy) is an all-boys school and the setting of the series. Its sister school is St. Blossoms, an all-girls high school.

The three grade levels are divided into three classes. These nine classes are divided into three dormitories, as most of the students do not stay around the school area. The cultures within the individual dormitories are immensely different.

Most students residing in the first dormitory are athletes who were accepted into Osaka High on a sports scholarship. The students in the second dorm are a mix of athletes and scholars who have sports or academic scholarships. The third dormitory consists mainly of artistic and intelligent people. Inter-dorm rivalries are common and become particularly intense during the school's cultural festival.

Plot

Mizuki Ashiya, a Japanese girl living in the United States, watches a program on TV featuring a high jumper named Izumi Sano. She was amazed by his performance and begins following his athletic career. Years later, she does research on him and discovers that he is currently attending Osaka High School. The school is unfortunately an all-boys school and Mizuki convinces her parents to send her to Japan by herself.

Oblivious to the fact that their daughter is going to attend a boys' school, her parents let her go. Wanting to enter the school, Mizuki cuts off her long hair, disguises herself as a man, and tries her best to give hope to Sano after hearing that he no longer does the high jump. As she settles in, an accident reveals her identity to Hokuto Umeda, the school doctor, and Izumi Sano. Izumi hides his knowledge of Mizuki's gender and tries to help her keep her secret, which may not be easy because many situations land Mizuki in compromising positions that will reveal her true gender.
