posted on by Egan Loo
After two television series, the live-action adaptation of Boys Over Flowers) manga will end with the Hana Yori Dango: Final theatrical movie, which will screen in summer of 2008 in Japan. The romantic comedy centers on a girl named Tsukushi who struggles with life in a clique-filled private academy and her feelings for the boys in the most elite clique, F4. The movie will take place one year after Tsukushi's graduation ceremony (which was the last scene of the second television series) as a major incident brings the five main characters together.
The series stars Mikio Satake (the penname of actor Takayuki Takuma).
Hana Yori Dango: Final will actually be the second live-action film for Hana Yori Dango. A stand-alone movie featuring TRF screened in 1995, before the 2005 television drama series and even before the 1996 animated series. There was also a 1997 animated movie whose story is separate from all the other versions.
