Hana Yori Dango Episode Guide


I did my best at listing the episode titles and translations for them. Some were translated by me, some were not, so forgive me if the translations change a bit over time as people point out to me what ones I have listed wrong (surely they aren't all correct =) There will also be episode summaries here as soon as I get the chance to write them up! But beware, the summaries are my views of what is going on. Sometimes I am working from translations, other times I am relying on my own lame Japanese skills, so some summaries may not be perfectly accurate. I am doing my best and will be sure to correct anything I find to be inaccurate. Also, these summaries contain HUGE SPOILERS so read at your own risk :)


Oh, and a little note about my summaries. I call most of the characters by the same names consistently- Rui, Tsukushi, Doumyouji, Akira, Kazuya. However I have a tendency to call Nishikado Soujirou sometimes by his first name and sometimes by his last. I don't know why I do this =) Also, the three snotty girls: Asai, Yamano, and Ayuhara are all so similar in character, that I tend to refer to them as a unit. Sometimes I may say Asai is doing something when it is really Yamano or Ayuhara. I tend to blur them all together in my head :)

(7-12-2000) ALSO: I think I should mention that I wrote all of these summareis back in 1997 while the show was airing in Japan. There were no subtitled versions of ANY of the episodes, so I was just going by my Japanese skills at the time. Since then, at least the first 28 episodes have been subbed into English (yay!) and my Japanese skills have gotten a little bit better, so I can see that there are a lot of sections I don't explain properly, or have been resolved in detail in the fansubs. I'll eventually try and go back and revise my summaries with my knew knowledge about what is going on, but for now please try to enjoy what I managed to write at the time ^_^ I did my best! Thanks :)

*YES, I realize that I do not have summary for episode 25 up yet! I'll get to it!*
