花ざかりの君たちへ [Hanazakari no Kimitachi e]

Hakusensha’s Hanazakari no Kimitachi e ran from 1997 to 2004, a beloved 23-issue shōjo manga series by creator Hisaya Nakajo. The story follows a girl who disguises herself as a boy to enroll at an all-male high school, chasing her idolized track athlete. Nakajo’s warm, comedic touch and the series’ blend of gender-bending hijinks with genuine heart made it a defining hit of its era, inspiring multiple international adaptations. It remains a touchstone for fans of cross-dressing romantic comedies in manga.
