Comments of Hana no Mizo Shiru

Law student, Arikawa Youichi, has portentous dreams about someone named Misaki, an enigmatic and formless "presence" activated by a pretty floral crystal pendant that Arikawa suddenly found in his possession (the result of a mishap), never realizing that Misaki Shouta is a man whom he met by accident and happenstance, on two prior occasions, and heard about by rumour, once, thus setting the scene for a story about predestined love. Upon actually identifying Misaki, at university, Arikawa instantly declares his love and fascination. His straightforwardness comes across too forcefully to Misaki, who veers off, but since Arikawa has been hired by Misaki's professor as an assistant, they are forced to share time and space in the botany lab where Misaki researches microorganisms in soil cultures. As they grow accustomed to each other, Satoshi Kawahata, a parental authority/conflicted would-be lover from Misaki's past, tries to re-assert himself as the central person in Misaki's heart, revealing the back-story behind Misaki's reticence. Can Misaki overcome his insecurities and defeat his loneliness?

This story has many nice touches, including the symbolic language of flowers, the differences between free expression and withholding, a secret garden, the magnificent prequel Hana No Miyako De "The Flower Capital" [http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/hana_no_miyako_de/] and a twinkly "magical fairy-godfather" type. After the initial declaration by Arikawa, it moves along at a fairly slow and realistic pace, but I like the introduction of subconscious elements, like the dreams and the connection with the grandfather. The artwork is beautiful, too, with Takarai Rihito's delicate line drawings enhanced by the floral subject matter, but some of these drawings are undermined by poor quality scans and cleaning, especially in the first volume. Other than that, this is a must-read!

That glasses senpai is SO SICK, keeps insulting the Uke for being gay but not lets him go. He treats him cruelly and becomes violent, causes him trauma. The Uke's tense till has Hyperventilation by just recalling that incident.

It was okay. I wish the backgrounds where more creative. Pure black and white and no patterns or texture makes it blah. However story is good!

THE FEELS... I really love this manga, is so adorable <3

The artwork is amazing, the sweetness of this love story will make you melt! It's really worth to be read in the field of romance

It's okay to read. There's a couple of chapters with bad quality -apart from that, everything okay. It's a nice one.

cute story but couldn't feel a connection to the two

i had higher hopes for this than i think it delivered, but
it's not bad. Closed off guy with an unresolved, controlling crush meets cheerful guy and confusing emotions ensue. Didn't completely understand the Dynamics between misaki and kawabata the first go round, but I'm glad they were able to be honest with each other and move on. Nice art.

it was alright. I liked Ten Count and Seven Days more.

I have mixed feelings about this one. At first I thought the necklace was magic and making the feelings happen so the shift to actual feelings seemed strange to me. It is good in tackling many issues, with deep feelings too, but parts were drawn out and boring. I love this mangaka's work overall.

by all means this is a recipe for goodness, but i personally couldn't get into it. i think it lacks passion? it's really pretty and visually pleasing and thematically intriguing in a magical realism kind of way tho. aesthetic and all

I found the beginning a little confusing, but I got used to it. It was a beautiful story! I really like it :)
