Hana-Kimi Pt. 3 (with Ashley Hawkins)

Covers volumes 16–23 of Hana-Kimi by Hisaya Nakajo.Welcome back for the final Hana-Kimi episode! The Ashleys are back to discuss how wild this ride has been: The strange results of the final character poll, what the series says about gender, how it compares to other gender-bending series, and of course, finally, the ships. Also: Can you believe this manga kept up the premise of Mizuki's gender being a secret the ENTIRE TIME? We just don't get manga like this anymore! REFERENCESHana-Kimi is available from Viz MediaThis series is the precursor to OuranOther manga mentioned:Tokyo BabylonGirl Got GameBasaraNot Your IdolPrincess JellyfishFruits BasketKimi ni TodokeOutro song: "The Streatham Hill Gods" by DanosongsCONTACT USAshley Hawkins' website: Manga LibrarianAshley Hawkins' Twitter:  @manga_librarianShojo & Tell on Twitter, Tumblr, and InstagramHost Ashley on Twitter: @AshMcD00
