Ashiya Mizuki arrives at Ohsaka High, a school that accepts students based on appearance rather than merit. Almost immediately she has several awkward and embarrassing encounters with classmate Sano Izumi. Sano, a high jump athlete, is the reason Mizuki disguised herself and entered an all-boys school. Mizuki is introduced to the school's three dormitories that compete in school-wide events: Dorm 1, captained by Tennouji Megumi, contains the martial arts department; Dorm 2, led by Nanba Minami, specializes in sports; and Dorm 3, headed by Oscar M. Himejima, hosts the performing arts. Mizuki joins Dorm 2 to be close to Sano, and even becomes his roommate, but learns that he quit high jumping because of a torn ligament. For the sake of winning a marathon competition between the dorms, some students injure Mizuki's foot, but she is determined to keep running. Sano hears of the incident and comes to watch, and when Mizuki collapses before the finish, he carries her to the nurse's office. The school's doctor Umeda discovers that she is a girl.

St. Blossoms' Hanayashiki Hibari, supported by the Hibari 4, is determined to win. During the decorating, Sano gets drunk and kisses Mizuki, which the members of dorm 2 inform her happens whenever he has even a small amount of alcohol. Meanwhile, Nakatsu Shūichi struggles with being inexplicably attracted to the "boy" Mizuki. Umeda informs Mizuki that Sano has decided to drop out of track and field. With Nakatsu trailing after her, Mizuki finds Sano arguing with rival Kagurazaka. Sano tells her later that he is afraid to return to the field; she says he should go at his own pace, as long as he doesn't give up. Mizuki confides to Umeda that in America, she was the reason Sano's leg was injured, so he decides not to expel her yet. Both Sano and Mizuki make appearances in the contest, with Mizuki in a dress.

Sano overhears them arguing and learns that Mizuki is a girl, as well as her involvement in his injury. When Mizuki tells Umeda about her troubles, the gay doctor decides to tease her uptight brother. Mizuki meets Umeda's ex, a photographer, and learns from her that Sano's younger brother is now a high jump star. After Mizuki's brother confronts Sano, Sano tries to chase Mizuki away. But she bounces back from his harsh words, which makes him think about her determination. He tells her brother that he couldn't take the pressure of being a record holder, but now he wants to show the same spirit Mizuki has. Nakatsu determines that he is not homo, but can't fight his feelings for Mizuki. The search for the panty thief uncovers a bra in Mizuki's luggage, endangering her secret, but Sano reveals that Yuujiro is the real thief.

When she goes to Tōkyō High School to observe Sano's brother, Shin, she witnesses a confrontation between the two and learns that Shin is angry that his brother ran away. She asks Nakatsu what might make Sano happy, and Nakatsu convinces her that Sano needs a girlfriend, so Mizuki forces Sano to attend a joint party with St. Blossoms.

Special

[edit]

A television special with the regular cast reprising their roles was subsequently produced, and was broadcast on October 12, 2008.

The story starts off half a year after Mizuki's secret of being a girl has revealed. It is near Valentine's Day, and Sano and Nakatsu are talking about the last week of summer vacation. The story then flashes back to the last week of summer holidays, which is between episodes seven and eight.

The shooting started on March 19, 2008.[5] A conference was held on September 18, 2008, announcing the completion of the special, subtitled Sotsugyōshiki and Nana to Hanbunwa Special (卒業式&7と1/2話スペシャル).[6]

Differences

[edit]

There are many differences between the manga and the television drama. Though the concept and characters are the same, the story is described differently. For example, in the comics Sano became injured from saving his friend, while in the drama he became injured from saving Mizuki. Genders are also different in the drama. Akiha is male in the comics, but portrayed as female in the drama. In the comes, Sano found out Mizuki's true gender when he accidentally "felt her up", but in the drama Sano finds out Mizuki is female when he overhears Mizuki talking to her brother. Nakatsu also finds out about Mizuki's gender a lot earlier in the drama, while in the comics he finds out Mizuki's true gender along with everyone else.
