Customer Reviews

I love this series

Hana-Kimi is a great shojo manga. This is quickly becoming my favorite. I can't wait to get my hands on Vol 17 in a few weeks. I love the story but the art is also incredible. Its very captivating and heart warming.

A bit slow...

Hana Kimi is my favorite manga series, however, this volume is not one of my favorites (I thought volume 9 was a bit annoying too). This volume focuses mostly on Sano and his high-jumping, his brother, and his issues with his father. It has the potential to be interesting stuff if you're a huge Sano fan, but the drama gets a little overdone, like, "why are Sano and his father fighting again?" There are only a couple "cutesy" moments between Sano and Mizuki in this volume, so if that's the only thing you're reading the series for, just be warned that you'll have to slog through this volume (and possibly the next one?) before you see any more fun stuff.
