I'm completely hooked on Hana Kimi, and collecting the manga is costing a lot haha. I cheated and downloaded the rest online, so I know what happens at the end, and I actually like the ending, surprising.
As for the live action show, I didn't really like the Taiwanese version, because I don't think that Ella fit the role for Mizuki. But one thing I thought show did choose wisely was the actor Wu Zun for the character Sano. He was a good match for the role, in my opinion, and was pretty much the "eye candy" for the viewers lol.
I'm very eager to watch the Japanese version because I think the actor/actress chosen are much more suited for the characters' roles. And, sorry, I hate to sound like such a fan girl...but there are just so many cuties acting in this series.
