Hana-Kimi adapts the Hakusensha-published manga by the late Hisaya Nakajo. Viz Media describes the plot as:
Japanese-American track-and-field star Mizuki has gotten herself to transfer to a high school in Japan…but not just any school! To be close to her idol, high jumper Izumi Sano, she’s going to an all-guys’ high school…and disguising herself as a boy! But as fate would have it, they’re more than classmates…they’re roommates! Now, Mizuki must keep her secret in the classroom, the locker room, and her own bedroom. And her classmates–and the school nurse–must cope with a new transfer student who may make them question their own orientation…
The manga ran in Hana to Yume from 1996 to 2004 and is collected into 23 tankobon volumes and 12 aizoban volumes. It inspired a 2006 Taiwanese drama, two Japanese dramas in 2007 and 2011, and a 2012 Korean drama.
