Just started watching the Live Action version of the series Hana Yori Dango, which I read the manga series a while back.
I was told to watch the series instead of reading it, but I think so far the manga is winning in my opinion. Of course, they can't really get the same amount of details into 9 episodes (also quite short ...) compared to several hundred chapters of activity.
The casting is so so. I guess that is always the problem when you compare bishi manga to real people because you can't really always find people who are 'beautiful' to fill in their characters.
The story of course is still along the same lines but the speed of movement is also quite fast too to fit timewise. I don't know how the series will end because there is a second series, so perhaps that continues? I won't know until I finish this one at least.....
The main guy Domouji is the main guy from the first season of Gokusen..
