Synopsis of Season 1
Makino Tsukushi is the only poor
student at Eitoku Gakuen, the school of the ridiculously rich and privileged
that is ruled by Flower 4 or F4, a group of four boys who come from extremely
powerful families: Domyoji Tsukasa, the leader and heir of the Domyoji World
Finance Group; Hanazawa Rui, the introverted son of a large company; Nishikado
Sojiro, a player who is the heir of a tea ceremony school; and Mimasaka Akira,
a madam killer with ties to the underground. If a student gets on the F4’s bad
side, he/she gets a red notice and is bullied and driven out of school. Makino hopes to pass her days
quietly-- without drawing any attention to herself-- but one day, she stands up
to Domyoji in defense of her friend. The next day, Makino gets the dreaded red
notice. Even though she is harassed, Makino decides to keep going to school
because she is a “tough weed”. She declares war right back on the F4. Her
resolve gets the attention of her crush Hanazawa Rui and oddly enough, rouses
romantic feelings in her worst enemy, Domyoji Tsukasa. The series is based on the
Japanese shoujo manga "Hana Yori Dango" (Boys Before Flowers) by
Kamio Yoko. |
