Everyone's got their favourite scenes in Hanakimi...here's a few of mine! And if you'd like to submit your own, feel free to send them in (an accompanying image is optional, but please include the volume number and, if possible, the page number/s of the scene).
Where:
Volume 1 page 64
What:
Distressed by Sano's inability to high jump, Mizuki asks the good doctor for advice, and gets more than she bargained for! Ah Umeda-sensei...
your flambouyant nature shines in this scene.
Where:
Volume 1 page 74
What:
After a night of drinking, Sano's other side emerges... and Mizuki loses her first kiss to Sano the Kissing Fiend! Not how I expected
their first kiss to come about, that's for sure.
Where:
Volume 2 page 178
What:
Mizuki's brother is being an ass, blinding himself to her caring for Sano to the point of ordering her back home to America, and even
dissing Sano outright. Umeda, showing just how much he cares (in more ways than one?), uses a "secret weapon" both to force Shizuki to
recognise Mizuki's feelings, and to just be an ass. And what a way to do it... TT;
Where:
Volume 3 page 21 onwards
What:
Mizuki, quite simply, sleep walks into Sano's bed. Least to say, Sano gets zero sleep that night (hehehe).
Where:
Volume 3 page 186-189
What:
After her trial with the pervert Makita, Mizuki is laying unconscious with Sano standing guard in a ravine. Fully conscious (unlike
the last time...) Sano nearly kisses the sleeping Mizuki, but holds back at the last second, instead promising to be by her side
forever (aww!).
Where:
Volume 4 page 24
What:
An innocent tickle fight turns into an accidental embrace...! What I love most about this scene is that both are thinking the same
thing about the "hug" situation, but don't know the other is thinking it!
Where:
Volume 5 page 8-11
What:
Sano spelling out his own doom... Mizuki has a nightmare and awakens, also waking Sano, who suggests she sleep with him
that night to calm down. After falling asleep almost instantly, it's Mizuki who's left this time to deal with her close proximity
to Sano (and I love Nakatsu's reaction when he bursts into their room the next morning, only to find them in this suggestive
situation...hehehe).
Where:
Volume 6 page 78
What:
Looking for help to get Kinuko off her case, Mizuki goes to everyone's favourite gay doctor...Knowing Kinuko's petrified of
him, Umeda offers his nude pictures as a charm to ward her off. Mizuki isn't impressed, but do we care? NUDE UMEDA PICTURES!!
Where:
Volume 7 page 187
What:
Sano warms Mizuki with his coat and his entire self...and poor, dense Mizuki still doesn't figure it out! ARGH! Hair-tearing
scene!
Where:
Volume 8 page 44
What:
After secretly following Mizuki to Umeda's office, Akiha's dreams come true: he's reunited with his past flame. This time it's Umeda
who's attacked, rather than Umeda attacking...hehe.
Where:
Volume 10 page 21
What:
Sano wonders what Mizuki feels for him...and finds out right away. A sleeping Mizuki sleep-talks.
Where:
Volume 14 page 66
What:
After confronting Mizuki with the fact that she first shared a kiss with Gil, Sano's told that kissing like that is common in
America. Out of nowhere, he asks to kiss Mizuki! Stupid Mizuki backs away, and then Nakatsu barrels in, so the moment is lost...
but oh, it was so close!
Where:
Volume 18 page 7-16
What:
Sano's been a jerk and left Mizuki in tears. Nakatsu shows up and comforts Mizuki, telling her how much it saddens him to see her in
tears, and always because of Sano. He asks her if he can take Sano's place and be everything to her...With much difficulty, Mizuki
backs away. Despite her rejection, Nakatsu promises to be there for her, to put a smile on her face when she's sad...
Where:
Volume 19 page 177
What:
Thanks to Nakatsu's mom's ministrations, Nakatsu looks...completely unrecognisable. It doesn't take him long to shake out his mane
and return to his normal self after facing his friends' reactions!
Where:
Volume 20 page 160
What:
Nanba Io's chilling in her younger brother's office at Osaka Gakuen, decked out in a medical cloak, when a random student comes by
looking for the good doctor...and gets the shock of his life, facing what he must think is Umeda cross-dressed! (Or perhaps he's just
excited at the prospect of a female replacement for Umeda...?)
