A great introduction. But the boys of the past settling into the future felt a bit too much.
September 7, 2020
[For manga as a whole]
STORY:
Sengoku no Danshi Hana no Ran was pretty mundane with no antagonist until vol 4, and the only looming threat was the samurai boys living out their ill-fated histories if they returned to their era.
In the beginning, I thought Hana's family idol agency and time-traveling made the story over-packed, but I like how it developed.
I was surprised this manga touched briefly on child molestation and date-rape drugs in the entertainment business. The light slice-of-life tone is nearly nonexistent in the final volume because everything had turned very dark.
The ending was a bit rushed, to the point the readers could tell, but still managed to tie up a few loose ends in a fairy-tale way.
CHARACTERS:
Hana is a pretty plain main character but likable. She doesn't cry excessive shoujo tears and isn't whiny, so she's okay in my book.
I liked the samurai brothers the most, collectively. I happened to like Riki, the quiet brother, almost instantly and Ran as well. I don't think anything really stood out from Ran beyond the norm of the cool-headed, about-his-business character type. He didn't break the character mold, but I liked him all the same. Aniue the middle brother was... the middle child.
I felt bad for Momo, and I usually dislike the female love rivals, but there was really nothing hate-worthy about her. On that same vein, there was nothing noteworthy about her either.
ART:
Art is A+ all around for me. Ran is an undeniably handsome man, so it's no wonder why he's the shoujo lead.
Overall, the story was very over the top but not bad, and the art and characters made the story easy to read. Not to mention, this manga has some of the best shoujo scenes ever, the type to make you smile deliriously.

分かりにくい。
織田信長がいる。彼は歴史と同じ新しいもの好きなひと。主人公は花彼女はたぶんランと未来で付き合う。ランの弟たちはかわいい、たぶん花のおばさんの事務所で未来に働く。が。それ以上何もわからない。使っているの言葉は結構難しくてルビは書いていないから、少しわかりにくい。

Manga Status: Complete
Number of Chapters: 23 + 1 side chapter
Genres: Shoujo, Historical, Romance, Drama
This review is for the manga series as a whole.
Sixteen-year-old Hana's life is already chaotic, with her boyfriend an up-and-coming star of her aunt's entertainment company and her history-loving grandfather's crazy inventions. But her life is shaken up even more when her grandfather's latest invention - the Time Whirlwind - actually works and Hana comes face-to-face with a handsome samurai. With the man and his companions stuck in her world, Hana faces past demons and finds a new look on life.
I loved the characters to pieces. To be quite honest, there wasn't a character that I vehemently hated (well, except one, but he's the villain after all, so that can't be helped.) The main cast consists of Hana, her family, and the samurai (there are three of them, plus their master) from the past.
Hana is the daughter of a late actress who had a traumatizing moment when she herself was a child-star. Now she prefers to stay out of the view of the public, helping her aunt's business on the side. But with the business entering a new low point, Hana means to buck up and help out any way she can.
I also loved calm and collected Ranmaru and his brothers, Boumara and Rikimaru. Ran and the others are so hilariously surprised by future. Ran is level-headed and has his own reasons for being a little depressed and cynical. Bou and Riki are great comedic relief, and I loved them so much (especially when they're paired with Hana's dog, Hideyoshi.)
Bonus: the plot wasn't bogged down by ridiculous shoujo cliches, which was perfect for a manga with such a short length. Love triangles? Unknown feelings? Everything was dealt with promptly (at one point, it even lasted a few panels, which made me laugh so hard.)
I was a total sucker for the romance. I found ships everywhere (even bromance ships.) It's obvious that Ran and Hana are going to be attracted to each other, but I was really quite worried with how they were going to end up. Were they going to actually get together, or be separated by 400 years?
I enjoyed Sengoku Danshi Hana no Ran so much that I finished all of the chapters in a single day. It's funny and suspenseful and romantic, and you should totally give it a try.

I really really love this manga! Now this is one of those mangas that involves the main character having to shuttle around people from several centuries ago. Now as expected, it's cute and funny. The first volume is hilarious! Ran is the best, his character is all over the place and yet in tact all in one. Hana is very cute, and she's a very level headed as well. I love all the supporting characters. And I can't wait until I finish reading this!!

I was so entranced by the character development in this. I loved it and the art is great. There is a great sense of naturality with this work.
