About the author
Yōko Kamio
295 books328 followersYōko Kamio (神尾葉子) is a popular Japanese manga artist and writer. She is most famous for Boys Over Flowers (花より男子, Hana Yori Dango?), for which she received the Shogakukan Manga Award in 1996. Her work has been translated and distributed in Asia, Europe, and North America.
Yōko Kamio readily admits that she had no intention of becoming a professional manga artist when she was young. Kamio originally went to secretarial school, but her love of drawing soon led her astray. She then eventually entered the professional mangaka field in 1989. In the following years, Kamio published Suki Suki Daisuki, Ano Hi ni Aitai, and Meri-san no Hijitsu in Margaret before she finally created Hana Yori Dango in 1992.
The Hana Yori Dango manga became established relatively quickly in Japan. Many people commended Kamio for her realistic portrayal of high school life and everyday violence through the Hana Yori Dango series. Although Kamio was initially surprised by the confessions of high school violence stated in fan letters, she realized that Tsukushi's fiery character served as a role model for much of Japan's youth and helped others cope with school violence.
Kamio watched as the success of Hana Yori Dango's 1992 début followed through with many more months on the best-sellers list. Voice CDs by SMAP and a live action movie about Hanadan charted the series success in the mid-1990s. By 1995, an animated series for Hana Yori Dango was already in progress and Kamio had also helped pick main leads for the anime show.
Hana Yori Dango ran in the Japanese Margaret magazine as well as the Korean Wink. The series has also been published in Japanese, Chinese, Cantonese, Thai, Korean, French, and English. The anime series has been broadcasted in Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Italy, and has also been licensed and released in the United States. Additionally, it was also recreated in a Game Boy Color game (only released in Japan) during the summer of 2001. With its ever-increasing popularity, Hana Yori Dango was then made into a popular live action TV series in Taiwan titled Meteor Garden. The manga series finally ended in Margaret's August 2003 issue, and the 36th tankōbon which included the Akira special "Night of the Crescent Moon" was released in January 2004 as the manga's final volume.
While Yoko Kamio initially wanted Hanazawa Rui to be the main hero of Hana Yori Dango, due to the outstanding personality of Domyoji Tsukasa (and Domyoji also becoming more popular than Rui) she changed the hero role to Domyoji.
Despite Hana Yori Dango's success, Kamio had originally planned to end the series by Spring 2000. However, in February 2000, at a mangaka conference in Taipei, Taiwan Kamio announced that she would continue writing Hana Yori Dango. At one point, she got so wrapped up in the Hana Yori Dango storyline, that she confessed to having dreams about Doumyouji. Of course, she said that "Falling in love with a character that I created is just disgusting..."

Demasiado divertido y lindo!

t this point, Tsukushi and Tsukasa’s relationship feels like a marathon where both runners keep tripping over the same rock every five minutes. Volume 33 is all about tension, pride, and those unspoken feelings that could easily be resolved if someone—anyone—just said what they were thinking.
The emotional beats hit, but they’re wrapped in the same over-the-top antics and wild coincidences that have been fueling this series since Volume 1. It’s addictive soap opera energy, and you either love it or roll your eyes while still turning the pages.
Three stars for keeping the drama alive, even if the plot feels like déjà vu with better hair.

Tsukasa's being a dick to Makino again b/c he lost his memory from a stab wound (HAHAHAHA)!! He eventually gets his memory back of the ONLY thing he forgot and they lived happily ever after, oh wait I still have 4 more volumes to read!!!!
Thank you Sakurako for calling a spade a spade. I died when she called Umi out and called her friends ugly bitches!! Best part of the whole volume.

I really hate this Umi, sneaky, conniving and manipulative! Makino is as dumb as ever trusting people like anything....
My Rui-ship is sailing in high winds! :P Adore Rui <3 <3 <3. Poor Tsukasa! Just when his mean witch mother gave him and Tsukashi permission to date for an year... He got memory loss!

We had a slightly bigger span of time pass in this volume. I like that the Umi storyline was kept from this manga when it was adapted into a kdrama.
It finally feels like things are winding down in the series though it is not entirely clear where it is going.
I will admit that I wonder if I would be as into this series if I had not watched the kdrama.

Pertama baca manga ini waktu umurku 10 tahunan - ikut membaca waktu kakakku sewa dari taman bacaan komik di dekat SMA-nya. Sebetulnya ini terlalu dewasa, sih, untuk anak SD haha. But anyway, dulu rasanya cukup menikmati karena karakternya goodlooking dan stylish. Alur ceritanya juga banyak yang membuat ngakak. Sekarang, umurku 30 tahun dan membaca ini cukup merasa terganggu di banyak hal: romantisasi abuse, violence, sexual harassment, institutionalized bullying, dan membangun mindset 'I can fix him' untuk remaja perempuan. Memang, sih, manga ini 'kan dibuatnya tahun 1992 - mungkin society memang belum seprogresif sekarang. Tapi jadinya menurut saya manga ini lebih cocok ditujukan untuk orang dewasa, ya, ketimbang remaja putri seperti shoujo pada umumnya.
-
Masuk volume 30, rasanya kok ceritanya semakin 'berat' yah secara emosional! Berat dalam artian mungkin karena setiap karakter semakin dewasa dan menyadari bahwa banyak hal yang tidak bisa dikontrol - memaksa orang untuk menyerah setiap harinya. Lalu cinta pun terus menerus menjadi sebuah ujian.
Volume #33
Tsukasa Doumyouji (ML 1) keluar dari RS dan melanjutkan perawatannya di rumah keluarga Doumyouji. Ketika Tsukushi Makino (FL) menjenguknya, ternyata Umi Nakajima sudah ada rumahnya dan sering mampir ke sana. Tsukushi merasa aneh, cemburu, dan curiga. Sampai akhirnya Ia mendapat pengakuan langsung dari Umi bahwa memang Umi menyukai Tsukasa dan baiknya tidak mengganggu hubungan mereka lagi! Sungguh tidak adil. Teman-teman F4 dan K4 yang mengetahui ini pun tidak terima, dan berusaha untuk mengintervensi hubungan Tsukasa dan Tsukushi - namun entah bagaimana karena sebetulnya Tsukasa pun tidak bisa mengingat apa-apa tentang Tsukushi.
Di tengah kemelut ini, Tsukushi berusaha untuk melupakan Tsukasa saja, dan berniat untuk mengembalikan seluruh barang yang memiliki memori atas Tsukasa. Proses pengembalian ini dilihat oleh teman-teman F4 dan K4 lainnya, yang betul tetap kaget bahwa Tsukasa tidak ingat barang-barang apapun itu - malah Tsukasa marah pada Tsukushi karena bertindak tidak jelas. Tidak terima dengan kemarahan Tsukasa, Tsukushi melempar bola baseball tepat ke kepalanya hingga Tsukasa pingsan.
Di malam harinya, ketika Tsukushi pulang ke rumah, Ia melihat Tsukasa menunggu di pinggir jalan yang harus Ia lewati. Ternyata ingatan Tsukasa tentang Tsukushi kembali setelah pingsan.

Lo que he llorado en este capítulo no es normal, y lo mucho que he odiado a Umi sí, me da igual que al final la pinten como una buena chica, ella es mala y punto, Sakurako es mil veces mejor que ella.
Cuando Makino se rinde aaaaah, dolorrr, dolorr, pero creo que lo que más me ha hecho llorar es cuando finalmente Domyoji recupera la memoria y ella se pone a llorar de felicidad.
¡Kambate Makino-san <3!

Esta vez, sí sentí verdadera curiosidad por cómo recuperaría Tsukasa la memoria. En Hana Yori Dango, es por la escena de la nieve, pero aquí eso sucede en la mitad; en Boys Over Flowers, en la piscina, pero ahí se daba a entender que él no sabía nadar, un detalle que no aparece aquí; y en Meteor Garden, se dieron cuenta de que era innecesario y lo pusieron como una broma. Admito que sí me reí por la forma en que se resolvió, porque no esperaba menos de Tsukushi.

Honestly, i have been wondering how in the hell did Tsukasa get a amnesia when he was stabbed with a knife. He did fall but the fall was not great enough to cause a head injury which would probably lead to amnesia. He literally forgot how to walk aswell; now how does that make sense? Also, I'm proud of Makino for throwing that ball at his dumbass. If she didn't donk him on the head, I would've given him an actual head injury in my imagination.

I gotta admire the author’s ability to use every trope imaginable and keep outdoing herself. It’s interesting seeing her art change through the volumes and see her experiment with new techniques. This volume was cheesy and parts of it were outright annoying, but it at least had some interesting moments as well.

June 17, 2024Memory loss is such a fun trope, I really wish there was more of "Tsukasa always choosing Makino/falling in love with her AGAIN" instead of other-girl-angst.
Hanazawa Rui might just be the captain of our ship tho...
Edit: OMG but Tama and the rest of the household throwing that girl outta the Domyouji manor??? Priceless!

I like happy stories and this is a happy volume. Tsukasa finally regained his memory. Umi was kicked out of the scene. And there was a scene where Souijiro was even sweet towards Yuki.. This was a breath of fresh air after such a heavy drama from the previous volumes

I needed this, so Yoko Kamio redeemed herself from that terrible amnesia episode.
The first time I saw it, I had a panic attack. I've felt uneasy each time after, and I can't wait to read the rest books for knowing the real end.

The plot thickens with the things that keep these two apart. My heart aches for them to finally get a happy moment. The growth of each character makes me wonder how this series will conclude.

Toujours dans la phase amnésie, ce tome trente-trois est tout de même plus sympathique que le précédent, même si le personnage d'Umi était exaspérant à souhait. Si côté romance, on est loin d'obtenir ce que l'on veut, du c��té de l'amitié, par contre, Yoko Kamio travaille beaucoup plus ses personnages. Je suis donc au moins contentée de ce côté-là et c'est déjà pas mal.
Comme je le disais dans ma précédent chronique, Yoko Kamio tire sur la corde avec sa romance. Je pense que je vais me faire une raison, et finir le manga en me contentant de ce qu'elle nous offre. Comme il y a eu une nette amélioration, et c'est le moins que l'on puisse dire, je vais arrêter d'en espérer plus. Ce n'est d'ailleurs pas un constat négatif. En soit, les derniers tomes étaient très bien. Je pense juste que vu le niveau qui ne cessait de grandir, j'en attendais toujours plus.
Tsukushi est au centre de ce tome à plusieurs niveaux. Et même quand elle n'est pas là, ses amis agissent pour elle. On y retrouve une héroïne toujours aussi combative, mais qui décide aussi que parfois, s'avouer vaincu est aussi la bonne chose à faire. Ce n'est pas un processus facile, loin de là, et cela montre combien elle a gagné en maturité depuis le départ. Sans compter, qu'elle s'est battue avant de renoncer. Et face à elle, nous avons Umi… Dieu que j'avais envie de lui mettre des baffes, et je n'étais pas la seule. Tous les héros en avaient envie. Je n'ai jamais vu quelqu'un d'aussi égoïste, manipulateur et égocentrique, en pensant en plus qu'elle était dans son bon droit. de quoi vous rendre chèvre. Vraiment, à certains moments la lecture était frustrante avec des envies de meurtre… Bon j'exagère un poil, mais… pas tant ;)
Ce qui est par contre extrêmement bien joué de la part de la mangaka, c'est qu'elle a joué sur la carte amitié pour contrebalancer cet aspect négatif de l'intrigue. Et à ce niveau-là, je suis satisfaite à 100%. Outre le fait que les garçons, comme les filles, disent ouvertement que Tsukushi est leur amie et qu'ils sont là aussi pour la protéger (on adore ce genre de discours), il y a aussi les différents gestes qu'ils font. Franchement, là aussi, quand on voit tout le chemin parcouru, ça fait chaud au coeur. Et ils sont présents tout le temps dans les bons comme les mauvais moments. Et je crois que le fait d'entendre dire les garçons combien Tsukushi est forte était tout ce dont on avait besoin. C'est une reconnaissance des plus appréciable venant de leur part, et l'on voit également combien leur mentalité a évolué. Que du positif côté amitié.
La fin est fort heureusement plus joyeuse, mais j'ai un tout petit peu peur. Il reste quatre tomes ce qui est court mais long aussi. J'appréhende un peu la suite, je vous l'avoue car j'ai vraiment envie de finir sur une bonne note et je n'ai pas assez confiance en Yoko Kamio pour être rassurée. Allez, je croise les doigts.

There was something in the way all of the characters came together that I found irresistibly compelling about this series. It did remind me a lot of Ouran while I was reading it and maybe that is why I liked it so much. Tsukushi is an interesting protagonist, I loved when she started taking action and sticking up for herself.
While I wasn’t overly fond of the artwork style I was able to get past it because I my love for the storyline. This is an honest story with twists and turns, ups and downs, but then again that is real life.
I would really recommend watching the anime too!

I was starting to lose faith in this series, but I felt like this volume showed the characters at their best. I know I'm close to the end of the series and it's nice to see things go out with a bang, not a whiny whimper.
