MADE IN JAPAN ROM/COM ANIME 2

Picture property of Hana Yori Dango Yoko Kamio and Toei Animation.
So here comes my 2nd Favourite Romcom anime: Hana Yori Dango (en english is Boys Over Flowers). All starts when from poor family Makino Tsukushi enrolls into a school that the richest and most powerful families go, Eitoku Gakuen
It is also known to be ruled by Flower 4 or F4, a group of four boys who come from very rich and powerful families: Domyoji Tsukasa (the group's leader and the heir of the World Financial group Domyoji, Hanazawa Rui, Nishikado Sojiro, and Mimasaka Akira
If a student gets on the F4’s bad side, he/she gets a red card and is mistreated by the entire school and possibly driven out of it. 
Makino hopes she passes a very quiet school time until she graduates, but one day she confronts Domyoji to defend her best friend. 
She receives the red card and she starts being bullied by anyone in the school but she continues in the school because she's brave enough to stand by herself no matter what, and declares a war against F4. Rui Hanazawa takes some kind of interest on her, also as time passes between arguments and fights with Domyoji, the leader starts to have feelings towards her. 
It's a very entertaining anime and though she's being harassed constantly on the beginning, somehow I don't feel akward with the situation of hers because she shows so much strength and bravery and you can't help but admire and feel her.
The series is based on the Japanese shoujo manga "Hana Yori Dango" (Boys Before Flowers) by Kamio Yoko.
