The Manga That Started It All
Created by Hisaya Nakajo (RIP 🙏), Hana Zakari no Kimi-tachi e ran in Hana to Yume from 1996 to 2004. It follows Mizuki Ashiya, a girl who disguises herself as a boy to enroll in an all-boys school to get close to her idol, Izumi Sano. 💖 With romance, school drama, and secret-identity chaos, it’s a shōjo classic that’s still iconic 20+ years later!
