This was one of the first 10 anime I ever watched. Since then, I have watched things like Fruits Basket, Attack on Titan, Tokyo Ghoul, My Hero Academia, Maid Sama, Love is War, Devilman Crybaby, My Dress Up Darling... just, plenty of varied anime from great to mediocre to new and old. I could go on. But three years after I watched this old anime, Hana Yori Dango, I am rewatching and getting more out of it the second time around. So I do recommend it.

The most interesting part of this anime is the character development of Tsukasa Domyoji ... and the evolution of the relationships between the characters.

There will be frustration experienced over the heroine's tendency to be drawn into comprising scenarios "unwittingly" but I can also relate to that as a female who is a people pleaser.

There will be discomfort in relation to Domyoji's awful actions and misogynistic bent towards abuse.

You will be annoyed by the characters and their actions. But this makes them relatable. I'm annoyed with myself more often than not. So... relateable.

If you're a fan of shoujo and romance, it's worth a watch.
