Boys over Flowers (花より男子 Hana Yori Dango) is a Japanese Shōjo manga series written by Yoko Kamio. It ran in the shoujo magazine Margaret from 1992 to 2008, culminating in a total of 37 volumes. It has enjoyed massive popularity in Japan and Asia. It has been adapted into an anime, thirteen live-action television dramas, three of which are sequel seasons, two remakes, In order of production: Meteor Garden in Taiwan (2001); Siapa Takut Jatuh Cinta in Indonesia (2002); Meteor Garden II in Taiwan (2002); Hana Yori Dango in Japan (2005); Hana Yori Dango Returns in Japan (2007); Boys Over Flowers in South Korea (2009); Meteor Shower in Mainland China (2009); Güneşi Beklerken in Turkey (2013); Kaisi Yeh Yaariyan in India (2014); Siapa Takut Jatuh Cinta Indonesian remake (2017); Kaisi Yeh Yaariyan 3 sequel in India (2018); Meteor Garden remake in Mainland China (2018); F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers from Thailand (2021), an animated movie set in a parallel universe, and a live-action movie. Takarazuka Revue also put on a stage adaptation in summer 2019.The story varies a bit from continuity to continuity, but the basics are thus: Plucky Girl Tsukushi Makino is the sole middle class student attending the Fiction 500 prep school Eitoku Academy. The school is presided over by the F4 (short for "Flower Four"), Tsukasa Domyoji, Rui Hanazawa, Sōjirō Nishikado, and Akira Mimasaka, whose parents have paid the administration a massive amount of money to grant their offspring free rein over the school. As a result, they lord themselves over the school and use their influence to get the entire student body to attack students physically for such transgressions as "accidentally squirting lemon juice into our leader's eye." For about a year and a half, Tsukushi tries to preserve her safety by being ignored, but steps in to protect her only friend at school (Shrinking Violet Makiko Endou), who accidentally offends Tsukasa, the F4's leader. This instead causes her to be assaulted and ostracized by the entire school, except for Tsukushi's crush Rui (who often steps in and saves her when he's not busy spacing out) and Tsukasa (who is more intrigued than outraged). She eventually befriends the F4, and her influence largely seems to stop their bullying ways.The series gradually changes focus to the Love Dodecahedron surrounding the main characters, and eventually focusing on the main couple of Tsukushi and Tsukasa. The latter half is largely composed of them working around their massive class differences (his parents are Corrupt Corporate Executives, hers are increasingly insolvent) and thwarting the plans of Tsukasa's Evil Matriarch Kaede to separate them...See also Boys Before Flowers for the Korean Series based on this manga. A sequel named Boys Over Flowers: Season 2 (Hana Nochi Hare in Japan), which stars a whole new cast two years after the original series' characters graduate from Eitoku, started in 2015 and is published in Shonen Jump+. This series also got a live-action adaptation in 2018, but changed the time window from two years to ten years. | |

Heroic BSoD: Rui, as a product of his upbringing, tended to have panic attacks. Shizuka helped him get rid of them. Tsukasa goes through this when he sees photos of Tsukushi in bed with another man. He's so out of it that he doesn't even notice Sakurako taking him to her house, or Tsukushi screaming for help from classmates brutally hazing her. | |

Kick the Dog: F4, and especially Tsukasa, start doing this in their first appearance, wherein they are shown ordering their peers to bully a student into dropping out. Rui also gets this treatment, when he is vocally dismissive of Tsukushi's worries and safety despite being the only other semi-sympathetic character shown at that point. | |

Pun-Based Title: The title is an old Japanese Idiom: "Sweets before (are better than) flowers." (The practical beats the purely emotional). Except they use a different "Dango" character (a fairly obscure word for boys) instead of the character that means "sweets". | |

Big Fancy House: Several. We see Shigeru's, Sakurako's, Shizuka's, Akira's, Sōjirō's, Rui's and three of Domyoji's, but particular focus is given to the Domyoji primary Tokyo residence, which is enormous. Every wealthy character is actually implied to have several more Big Fancy Houses around the world. | |

Sacred First Kiss | |
| Boys over Flowers (Manga) / int_4a9f514d | comment |
Sacred First Kiss: Given the Serious Business treatment (ominous music, freeze frame) after Domyoji kissed Tsukushi in the dark during a party. It's as if everyone just found out that Domyoji was a murderer or something. Makes some more sense once you recall the Values Dissonance in regards to close physical contact in Japan. Not too mention the class difference, which the school body takes fairly seriously. | |

| Boys over Flowers (Manga) / int_4b4274e3 | comment |
Second Place Is for Winners. Tsukushi enters a fashion contest where (due to nepotism) the 1st place winner has been preordained. She wins second place, but since that was the highest spot that hadn't been "reserved," it effectively makes her the winner of the contest. | |

Not What It Looks Like | |
| Boys over Flowers (Manga) / int_52d1f46e | comment |
Not What It Looks Like/That Came Out Wrong: When Tsukasa is telling his buddies about how his rather abortive first date with Tsukushi went horribly wrong, they don't realize he's complaining, and he doesn't catch on to their interpreting everything he says to mean that he and she had a really wild and kinky night; mainly because when he tells them that "she strangled me all night long" he neglects to explain that she was wrapping a leek around his neck to bring down his fever because he was getting sick; and when they ask him what hotel they were using, and he says they were not in a hotel but in an elevator, he neglects to mention they were trapped there by mistake. They're all impressed at his "exploits" and one of them even remarks "Wow! My girlfriend's never tried anything like that!" | |

Sheltered Aristocrat: The F4 and assorted minor characters. Notably, all of the common subtypes are represented in the F4 (Sōjirō and Akira are clownish but charming buffoons, Tsukasa is the pompous, arrogant meanie (who is also a buffoon), and Rui is the composed, reserved and usually highly intelligent one). | |

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Pretty much everyone who's in love in this series pulls it at one time or another, but special mention goes to Rui, who pulled it on Shizuka, and then fell in love with Tsukushi, who was already falling in love with Tsukasa, meaning Rui had to pull one again. Poor guy can't catch a break. | |

Moment of Awesome / Sugar Wiki | |

Researching the Makino's financial situation, Kaede visits their home and offers them a suitcase containing ¥50,000,000 in cash in exchange for Tsukushi never seeing Domyouji again. Tsukushi's mother - who has been the most vocal with her lamentations regarding their lack of money - goes to the kitchen, gets a bin of salt, and coolly proceeds to dump the contents over Kaede's head, saying "Get your money and get out!" making this her Moment of Awesome.note This is extra impressive if you know the meaning behind the act- Tsukushi's mom is basically telling Kaede she thinks she's a snail. | |

Cerebus Retcon: In the live-action. In the first season, Rui incites an F4 brawl by pretending to have feelings for Makino to test Tsukasa's own feelings for her. When it's over, he warns Tsukasa that if he ever hurts Makino, Rui "won't hold back," implying he'll beat him up again. Everyone laughs it off. Come second season, when Rui unrepentantly admits he kissed her, he reminds Tsukasa of those words. Rui really was in love with Makino back then, and by not holding back, he meant that if Tsukasa screwed up Rui would pursue her for himself. | |

Arbitrarily Large Bank Account: None of the F4 ever seem to run out of money, at least until Kaede cuts Domyoji off | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| Boys over Flowers (Manga) / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: The serious tone of the story gets interrupted with commercial breaks marked by humorous sitcom style antics of the guys trying to peek at Tsukushi in a bubble bath, especially jarring when it is seen in the middle of an attempted gang rape. | |

Parental Neglect | |
| Boys over Flowers (Manga) / int_a54534a0 | comment |
Parental Neglect: All members of the F4 (except perhaps Akira) seem to display this to some extent, but Tsukasa seems to have been the most negatively affected by it. Ironically, when his mother starts paying attention to him, his entire life takes a turn for the worse. | |

Karma Houdini | |
| Boys over Flowers (Manga) / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: The F4's bullying borders on Kick the Dog territory at times, up to and including Tsukasa authorizing some underlings to gang-rape Tsukushi (though varying media have different levels of how explicit the authorization was). They never particularly suffer any consequences. Laser-Guided Karma; Tsukasa does get beaten nearly to death on one occasion and is stabbed almost mortally on another, add to that all the emotional tolls he goes through throughout the series. It does occasionally suck to be Tsukasa. | |

Adults Are Useless | |
| Boys over Flowers (Manga) / int_a939d96a | comment |
Some mention should go to Tsukushi's parents. While they're generally flighty but loving, one chapter has her coming home from school to find them and her brother packing their things: they were moving out to the city, not taking Tsukushi, or planning to tell her until that very day. Keep in mind Tsukushi is in school and has no job... Her parents promise to send money for her, but when she finally gets a letter from them, it says that they don't have money to send her yet, so here, have some strips of seaweed. Tsukushi honestly thought she'd starve, and probably would have if not for her friends. They are also incredibly stupid, want Tsukushi to be a gold digger and keep losing money on pointless things like pachinko resulting in their poverty... Ultimately, less abusive and more just plain useless. Thankfully, most of the live-action adaptations avert this. | |

| Boys over Flowers (Manga) / int_d77d719d | comment |
Distracted by the Luxury: Tsukasa tries to pull this on Tsukushi in order to get her to drop out of Eitoku. It doesn't work. Researching the Makino's financial situation, Kaede visits their home and offers them a suitcase containing ¥50,000,000 in cash in exchange for Tsukushi never seeing Domyouji again. Tsukushi's mother - who has been the most vocal with her lamentations regarding their lack of money - goes to the kitchen, gets a bin of salt, and coolly proceeds to dump the contents over Kaede's head, saying "Get your money and get out!" making this her Moment of Awesome.note This is extra impressive if you know the meaning behind the act- Tsukushi's mom is basically telling Kaede she thinks she's a snail. This is even better if you know that dumping salt on someone is considered incredibly insulting in Japan, where it's a way of telling someone you think they're as slimy as slug. It also means that you find their very presence spiritually corrupting, as salt is used to purify an area of evil spirits. It's the Shinto equivalent of tossing holy water on someone. | |

Composite Character: In the Taiwanese, Chinese, and Thai adaptations, Makiko Endo and Sakurako Sanjo are composited into one character note Li Zhen in Taiwan and China, and Hana in Thailand . Like Makiko, she is the shy timid girl who becomes the first friend that the Makino equivalent note Shancai in Taiwan and China, and Gorya in Thailand makes at the her new school after protecting her from F4, which in turn gets herself targeted. However, like with Sakurako, this is revealed to be an act, as she ultimately betrays her to get revenge against the Domyoji equivalent note Daoming Si in Taiwan and China, and Thyme in Thailand , with whom she is secretly in love. | |

Mafia Princess: Akira's a bit of a male version in the jDrama, and his little sisters qualify. | |

I Love You Because I Can't Control You | |
| Boys over Flowers (Manga) / int_f231fc12 | comment |
I Love You Because I Can't Control You: very much the reason underlying Tsukasa's initial infatuation with Tsukushi when she clobbers him, and this developing into a real relationship later on. Throughout the anime series, Tsukushi gives as good as she gets from her upper-class oppressors (including the girls) and refuses to take any crap from anyone despite her lower-class status. As she puts it in one episode, she's the "no-brand" girl: nobody else gets to define her as his "brand" of girl no matter how much money and status he might have, which is why she shrugs off Tsukasa's "generosity" in ordering that makeover for her, which in turn just intrigues him all the more. | |

| Boys over Flowers (Manga) / int_f28de900 | comment |
Airplane of Love: Twice, and both more literal than most cases. First when Tsukushi watches the plane in which Rui is flying to Paris take off, then when she watches Tsukasa's jet take off for New York. | |

| Boys over Flowers (Manga) / int_f42f96fa | comment |
Would Hit a Girl: Tsukasa will hit a girl, and has, just like he'll hit anybody else, whether it's his Love Interest for ticking him off (who is more than happy to return the favor) or some Rich Bitches who need it. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending: Tsukushi goes through so much crap, to hell and back, before she gets to her Happily Ever After. Most of this is Tsukasa's fault, but she never gives up on the world despite how terrible it is, but in the end, things turn out alright, and you might say, good. | |

Attempted Rape | |
| Boys over Flowers (Manga) / int_f85354eb | comment |
Attempted Rape: Tsukasa attempts to rape Tsukushi four times over the course of the manga. And it actually comes up later in a humorous fashion Tsukasa and Tsukushi are close to making love, but Tsukushi is so nervous that she starts crying. It remains an awkward moment for them until Tsubaki walks in on them, sees Tsukushi crying and thinks Tsukasa is trying to rape her. Even Tsukushi trying to reassure her doesn't stop Tsubaki from once again kicking Tsukasa's ass. | |

| Boys over Flowers (Manga) / int_fb9e0265 | comment |
Team Dad: Akira is this to an extent. He doesn't particularly care about forcing morality on the group (and probably couldn't if he wanted to) but is the general mediator for conflicts and seems to take it upon his shoulders when the group isn't getting along, eventually leading to him getting in a fistfight with Tsukasa when the latter won't stop stirring up drama with Rui. | |
