Just finished watching Hanasakeru Seishounen anime!!!!
Omg. The plot is omg! Completed this anime in a few days.
The genre of it is reverse harem, with romance and politics.

There's lots of guys in this (since this is reverse harem). /o/
Ended with my main ship, but I find the others likeable too. T__T
Ship them with me, okay? Lol.

Hanasakeru Seishounen
By: Itsuki Natsume

Manga Status: Completed
Anime Status: Completed

Summary: Kajika Burnsworth (14), daughter of Harry Burnsworth, has got into a husband-hunting game set by her father. The Burnsworth is an influential family in America. So yupp, his dad would plan 3 meetings with 3 men, without letting both parties know, and let Kajika choose who she wants to marry! But actually the husband-hunting game is not as simple as it looks. It's because of some political reason, that's why! Story is strongly connected the Reginei.

Opinion:


Kajika Burnsworth

Ta-da! Our protagonist.
Tbh, I thought she looked like a guy at first. Lol. I mean the art.
But she soon grew on me and I think she's quite pretty too!

She's really cool and doesn't act like a typical helpless heroine.
WHICH IS GOOD. Hate those kind of characters. Zzz.


Fang Li Ren

Childhood friend of Kajika.
In charge of the Fang group.
He got my heart since the beginning since he looks so cute in his child form with Kajika. ♪\(*^▽^*)/\(*^▽^*)/
He was really calculating at some points and I was sort of ๏_๏. But my love for him lets me oversee those parts. LOL.


Eugene de Volkan

This is the reincarnation of what Kajika belives to be Mustafa, her beloved deceased leopard.

This is the leopard:

Lol.
She got this leopard as a pet from her dad bc she'd been living on this Givoli island at a young age.
Actually, Idk why she had to live there.
I don't believe Eugene is the reincarnation of Mustafa too.
Since Eugene's like 20 years old?! The soul would have to die before it gets reincarnated right.

Anyway, so this Eugene person is a typical playboy!
Has a way with girls, goes out with lots of girls, etc.
Made 3 girls commit suicide bc of the way he phrased his words. @@
He wanted to kill himself at the age of 20 like his mom, but Kajika stopped him.
Complicated family matters.
His dad (who is actually not his real biological dad) placed his brother's frozen sperm (who is already dead) and placed it to impregnate his third wife or sth. Wth. ●︿●
Bc his dad hates his brother and placed all the hatred onto the wife.
And Eugene is born! He found out the truth reading his mom's diary.
His mom already died then.
But yupp, things get resolved - his dad said he regretted etc.
Eugene became a person who felt like living again! 

I find his POV in love interesting.
Like he doesn't want to get married. \( ^o^)/
He doesn't mind if it makes Kajika happy~~


Rumati Ivan

Prince of Reginei.
Complicated succession system. Omg.
He was childish at the beginning, and made me feel so (屮゚Д゚)屮 at times.
But he matured, and I quite like him after that~

He has lots of charisma and feels a lot like a king, which he did become later, lol.
Oh, and deep respect to the seiyuu. Dk how he managed to sound so authoritive in the role of Rumati, and also like an old jii-chan (aka grandpa) cause he was also the seiyuu of Mahati. ⊙▃⊙


Carl Rosenthal

Last guy to meet with Kajika!
Actually, I think he had the least time with Kajika story-wise. ●︿●

The Rosenthals and Burnsworths are at enemy positions bc long ago, Kajika's dad, Harry Burnsworth (a company going bankrupt) got the oil contract from Reginei instead of Nelson Rosenthal (which is a rich company). So, Burnsworth, with this contract, grew into a big company, whereas the Rosenthal declined. That's why Rosenthal has been holding a grudge.

Why Harry Burnsworth got the contract is bc he is the son of Mahati!!!
Mahati fell in love with Catherine in his stay in America 55 years ago.
So yupp, they got a baby~~~~ Who is Harry! But yupp, Catherine didn't go with him bc it's for his future. After all, a king has huge responsibilities~

Anyway, what it means is that Harry is actually supposed to be king. & Kijika the rightful heir of the throne!
Since Harry is the first born~

Ok. Back to Carl. Lol.
He only had like a few moments in the episodes to see Kajika!
First was he had an attack in the lift when it blacked out. He has claustrophobic.
All thanks to his 3 half-sisters. He fell into a well when he was young and they didn't help him. щ(ºДºщ)
They even pulled this black-out thingy again, bc he discussed with their dad to cut their allowance to $100,000.
$100,000 a month isn't enough?!?!?! (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
Luckily Kajika was there both times.

And one irritating sister sent Kajika's lineage to Quinza, like the main evil guy in this story.
So obviously, evil guys won't allow you to live if you know any information.
An assasin was sent and Carl protected her and got a gunshot wound. Wth.
Why you make Carl go through this!!!! (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

So yupp, this is Quinza:


Could hardly find an image with him that looks bright. LOL.
Think this was cropped from this image:


Left, Quinza; Right, Najayra

The main evil guy in this entire story who made hell of Reginei. Lol.
But he has his good points!
Like he is so loyal to Rumati even though his thinking is twisted.
He used lots of people. E.g. Najayra, a crazy psycho who really did love him.
In the end when he was dying, Najayra went to hold his hand but got pushed away. T__T
Feel sad for Najayra. They have a baby but it's only a one sided love. Sigh.
But at least she'd have a baby to remember him of right??

Ok. So the story ends with my ship!!!


This scene is when they kissed at episode 34 I think?
The last 2 episodes had Zao threatening Li Ren to marry Leng Lee to strengthen the Fang family, if not he'd kill Kajika. .__.

I had thought all was well in Reginei already. =_=!!!

Kajika in the end, cut ties with Burnsworth, to be free of ties, to go 'rescue' Li Ren. Lol.
The ending is like a cool. It's like Kajika is the guy!
She went to the Fang residence to get Li Ren with the help of Eugene, Noei etc.
She got on a helicopter and got off with Li Ren. Lol.

For myself, I shall ship Carl with me. LOLOL.
I admit I have a weakness for blond anime guys. ☆;。+(*pq′ー`)+。;☆゚

Still feel a little sad to all the other guys who got rejected.
But they're all young, so I'm sure they'd have a bright future! (´^ω^`)
I had wished that everyone got a pair though, including Yui, Kajika's girl friend from Japan!
