Boys Over Flowers’ protagonists, Tsukushi and Tsukasa, repeatedly go through the same dance steps: bicker, fight, make up. And it’s still addictive, even after 27 volumes.
Tsukushi and her younger brother are forced to move into yet another dump and find themselves with a very unexpected neighbor. However you feel about Tsukasa, it says something promising about his character that he is so eager to cross into her world — even if it means being forced to use a public bath.
Another interesting twist is the interaction between two main supporting characters: Yuki (Tsukushi’s best friend) and F4 playboy Sojiro. I’m excited to see where this leads and to find out about Sojiro’s past.
