Original Post

 

Hana Sugisaki, ShÅ Hirano, Taishi Nakagawa star in sequel that takes place 10 years later

Yoko Kamio's Boys Over Flowers Season 2 (Hana Nochi Hare ~HanaDan~ Next Season) manga is inspiring a live-action television series. The show will premiere in April on TBS and air Wednesdays at 10:00 p.m.

 

Hana Sugisaki (Mary and The Witch's Flower, live-action Blade of the Immortal; pictured left in image above) will star as the protagonist Oto Edogawa, the daughter of a former company president. King & Prince's ShÅ Hirano will play Haruto Kaguragi, the leader of C5. Taishi Nakagawa (live-action ReLIFE, Kids on the Slope; pictured right in image above) will play Tenma Hase, Oto's fiancee who is the student council president at a rival school.

The story of the manga is set at Eitoku Academy two years after the legendary F4 group graduated and follows the next generation of characters. The drama, however, will change the story to take place 10 years after the F4 graduated.

 

 

The manga debuted in Japan on Shueisha's Shonen

 

Jump+ app in February 2015, and Shueisha published the eighth compiled book volume on January

4. Viz Media is publishing the manga as a free simultaneous digital release.

 

The original Boys Over Flowers manga has already been adapted into Japanese anime, a 1995 Japanese live-action film, and a more well-known 2005 Japanese television drama, the latter of which spawned a sequel and a hit film. Taiwan also remade the manga into a live-action university drama titled Meteor Garden. Crunchyroll streamed a Korean live-action adaptation in 2011. A Filipino company announced in November that it would produce its own adaptation. A stage musical adaptation ran in Japan from January to February 2016.

Kamio previously denied rumors of a supposed remake of the 2005 Japanese live-action series by TBS last October.

If MatsuJun is gungho for this you can expect him to be in for a cameo.

I am trash for HYD! Watching this

[fairy eunha]

aww finally it's official, i'm so happy for sugisaki hana! girl can act, i'm sure she can be a leading lady as good as inoue mao. i like that this is not a remake so we can get a fresher story after so many adaptations. also, really excited for hirano sho, and nakagawa taishi is always great. 

[bluetoile]

Omg, I hope the drama is good. I absolutely the Japanese 2005 version.

[Misa]

Anticipating!

[Meliss]

Lmao Hana Yori dango will never die, there's the remake of meteor rain coming out too. How many more versions do we need?

[blossoms]

im so excited for this!!!!!!! give it to me noww

[Sana Nana]

OMG! It's that girlie with the bitchy attitude in Pieta in the Toilet and that guy who's always crying and had a sensual feel from Closest Love To Heaven!   It's not a remake so I might watch this. HYD Japan (2005) will always be the superior live-action tv drama version to me though.

HYD Season 2 is the name of the continuation of the manga series. Season 2 of the original HYD is just that, a season. Plus they only divided the original series into 2 seasons because the manga was long and Japanese dramas are usually only 10 episodes long.

Seems interesting

Why is a Shoujo manga being published in a Shounen magazine? Strange...
