Hana yori Dango (1996)

Hana Yori Dango

At the elite Eitoku Academy, no one evades the harshness of bullying, and Tsukushi Makino bears the brunt of the coldest attacks. At the top of the social hierarchy are the Flower Four (F4): Tsukasa Doumyouji, Rui Hanazawa, Akira Mimasaka, and Soujirou Nishikado. The F4 capture the attention of the entire campus with ease, embodying fashion, fame, and social prestige. Amid their dazzling presence, Makino attempts to go unnoticed and simply survive high school—but her confrontations with Tsukasa make her a frequent target of the F4 and their devoted followers. Yet, in standing up for herself, Makino gradually earns the respect of the F4 and even forges some unexpected friendships, never suspecting that new challenges could easily lead to love.
