Hana to Akuma Chp 54 Spoilers + Hana Kimi News

I got Hana to Yume Issue 19 today.

The freebie is a pair of Monochrome Kids paper clips:




Here's the latest on Hana to Akuma:



Here are a few of the key pages that summarize the events in "Hana to Akuma" Chp 54 (Sorry for the ever changing summary that I wrote earlier).

There's nothing about how many chapters are left in the series.

Other news: there's a new volume of "Hana Kimi" coming out.  It's called "Hana-Kimi: Afterschool."  It appears to be a compilation of the extra stories that came out after the official end of the series.



I wonder if this means there will be a Viz version for the US?  That would be wonderful :)!Source URL: https://aminefairy.blogspot.com/search/label/Hanazakari%20no%20Kimitachi%20e

Hana-Kimi May 2010 Extra Story

Here's the latest Hana-Kimi Extra story from one of the May 2010 issues of Hana to Yume.



Link to the Hana-Kimi May 2010 Extra story (Retired)

I did this quite hastily and I apologize for any typos, misspellings, or grammatical errors you may come across.  I also apologize for not taking the time to thoroughly clean the images.  I figured that a proportional effort was all that was required for a story that I plan to post only for a short time.

I have no idea whether this is the last planned extra story.  Quite personally, the only other extra stories that I will be willing to translate after this is one about Ashiya and Sano's wedding, Sano going to the Olympics, Nakatsu finding a girl of his own, or Nakatsu playing in the World Cup.  Other than those scenerios, I don't care anymore.

Anyhow, I didn't feel this extra story added anything new to the Hana-Kimi series and I didn't like the way it was written.  It's repetitive and employs nonsense to justify the trouble that Mizuki goes through in this episode.  Meh...Hopefully, though, die-hard Hana-Kimi fans will get something out of this.Source URL: https://aminefairy.blogspot.com/search/label/Hanazakari%20no%20Kimitachi%20e

Hana-Kimi September 2008 Omake

Here's the second Hana-Kimi omake published after 2007.

Link to September 2008 Hana-Kimi omake

It hasn't been proofread yet, so if you wanna proofread it, please go ahead and do so and send me back some feedback and I'll give you some credit.  Anyhow, this omake is very short and doesn't really add anything to the Hana-Kimi story, but it is cute.  The last of the omakes will come after Orange Chocolate chapter 7 and Ouran Chapter 79.  Here's the updated release schedule:

Orange Chocolate Chp 7 -- ETA:  3/22
Ouran Chp 79 -- ETA:  end of March (depends on when I get the raw)
Orange Chocolate Chp 8: Early April
Zettai Heiwa Diasakusen Chp 16: Mid April
Orange Chocolate Chp 9: Mid April
Hana-Kimi Aug 2009 Omake -- ETA: Late April
Kaicho-san no Neko Chp 1 -- ETA:  Late AprilSource URL: https://aminefairy.blogspot.com/search/label/Hanazakari%20no%20Kimitachi%20e

Hana-Kimi July 2008 Omake

 
Here is the first of the three Hana-Kimi extra stories that were published after 2007.  This is a really good one and I wish it had been published while the series was still running so it could have been included in the Viz release.

Next up is "Orange Chocolate" chapter 6 followed by the Hana-Kimi omake from September 2008 (it's very short at only 8-pages).

Hana-Kimi: Volume 21 (FINALLY!!!)

Volume 21 of "Hana-Kimi" ("Hanazakaria no Kimitachi he") has finally come out in the US. This is the pivotal volume in the Hana-Kimi series. So far, "Hana-Kimi" is my favorite manga series and this volume is the best in the series. Gosh, it took so long to get there, which makes this volume all the more sweeter. (I have to admit that I have already read Hana-Kimi. I read it before it got the US at least a couple of years ago. If you can't wait to finish the last two volumes, they are out there in the ether. Also, if you really like this series, buy the manga to encourage publishers put out more great series. I bought this series in English and I'm considering getting it in Japanese, too. Oh, and some extra one-off stories came out too, so look out for those. Hopefully they will be included in the 23rd volume.)

Why is "Hana-Kimi" my favorite manga series? ... well, I haven't quite put my finger on it yet. I adore Sano, Mizuki, and Nakatsu and my heart really felt what each of them was going through. The most intriguing thing about this series is the way Nakatsu is dealt with. As the reader we adore Nakatsu, because the author does too. We believe Nakatsu and Mizuki would be good together, but know it must be Sano. Yet, when Mizuki makes her feelings clear, we feel deeply for Nakatsu and we understand the guilt his best friend, Sano, feels. And we understand that Sano, seriously, has no intention of letting someone else, even his best friend, have Mizuki -- not that he feels she's his to give. Love is that way. There's always somebody who is hurt in the wake of a happy couple -- whether the happy couple is aware of it or not.

The other thing that resonates with me about this series is the fear that both Mizuki and Sano feel in their love. There is a lie between them -- She is pretending to be a he, he is pretending he does know she's a girl, they are both pretending not to be in love, even though one another is about the only thing on their minds. They are so scared to lose one another that they live in this carefully crafted house of cards so they can be together. I have felt this fear -- and it's scary to give yourself over, because if that person you care so much for rejects you, you fear it will tear your chest out. And when it does happen, it does hurt like nothing else (it does get better over time, though, and eventually goes away if you don't see that person anymore).

Well, I guess I just answered my own question: This is my favorite manga series, because I feel this manga and I relate deeply to the story and the characters.Source URL: https://aminefairy.blogspot.com/search/label/Hanazakari%20no%20Kimitachi%20e
