Hana-Kimi (2007 TV series)

Mizuki Ashiya arrives at Ohsaka High, a school that accepts students based on appearance rather than merit. She has several awkward and embarrassing encounters with her classmates, including Izumi Sano, a high jump athlete. Sano is the reason Mizuki disguised herself and entered an all-boys school. Mizuki is introduced to the school's three dormitories that compete in school-wide events: Dorm 1, captained by Megumi Tennouji, contains the martial arts department; Dorm 2, led by Minami Nanba specializes in sports; and Dorm 3, headed by Oscar M. Himejima, hosts the performing arts. Mizuki joins Dorm 2 to be close to Sano, and even becomes his roommate, but learns that he quit high jumping because of a torn ligament. For the sake of winning a marathon competition between the dorms, some students injure Mizuki's foot, but she is determined to keep running. Sano hears of the incident and comes to watch, and when Mizuki collapses before the finish, he carries her to the nurse's office. The school's doctor Umeda discovers that she is a girl.

Mizuki runs from Umeda's office without responding. Back at the dorms, the three dorm heads declare they will win fair and square in the next event, the Mr. Osaka contest, which will be a joint event with the girls of St. Blossoms, Ohsaka's sister academy. St. Blossoms' Hanayashiki Hibari, supported by the Hibari 4, is determined to win. During the decorating, Sano gets drunk and kisses Mizuki, which the members of dorm 2 inform her happens whenever he has even a small amount of alcohol. Meanwhile, Nakatsu Shūichi struggles with being inexplicably attracted to the "boy" Mizuki. Umeda informs Mizuki that Sano has decided to drop out of track and field. With Nakatsu trailing after her, Mizuki finds Sano arguing with rival Kagurazaka. Sano tells her later that he is afraid to return to the field; she says he should go at his own pace, as long as he doesn't give up. Mizuki confides to Umeda that in America, she was the reason Sano's leg was injured, so he decides not to expel her yet. Both Sano and Mizuki make appearances in the contest, with Mizuki in a dress. The dog Yuujiro is named King, and Mizuki is Queen.

Mizuki's brother comes to bring her back to the United States. He sets foot on campus in the middle of the dorm members' search for a panty thief who is terrorizing St. Blossoms and is mistaken for a suspicious person, which doesn't give him the best impression of Mizuki's classmates. Sano overhears them arguing and learns that Mizuki is a girl, as well as her involvement in his injury. When Mizuki tells Umeda about her troubles, the gay doctor decides to tease her uptight brother. Mizuki meets Umeda's ex, a photographer, and learns from her that Sano's younger brother is now a high jump star. After Mizuki's brother confronts Sano, Sano tries to chase Mizuki away. But she bounces back from his harsh words, which makes him think about her determination. He tells her brother that he couldn't take the pressure of being a record holder, but now he wants to show the same spirit Mizuki has. Nakatsu determines that he is not homo, but can't fight his feelings for Mizuki. The search for the panty thief uncovers a bra in Mizuki's luggage, endangering her secret, but Sano reveals that Yuujiro is the real thief.

The students learn that Dorm 1 will be temporarily closed for maintenance, and its members will move into Dorm 2 for a few days. Nakatsu takes the place of the third person in Mizuki and Sano's room, causing chaos for them. However, Mizuki is more concerned that Sano appears to be avoiding her. When she goes to Tōkyō High School to observe Sano's brother, Shin, she witnesses a confrontation between the two and learns that Shin is angry that his brother ran away. She asks Nakatsu what might make Sano happy, and Nakatsu convinces her that Sano needs a girlfriend, so Mizuki forces Sano to attend a joint party with St. Blossoms. Sano storms out of the party and blames Mizuki for dragging him there. She is discouraged and is considering returning home to America when Nakatsu pulls her out to the track field, where Sano has been training every night. Sano informs Shin and his rival Kagurazaka that he will compete again.
