Do you mean? "Hanazakari No Kimitachi E"? That one is usually known as "Hana no Kimi" right?

I read it, it's so good and funny! But I think there is sometimes, nudity in some of the art and of course, some conversations between characters that are just a bit sexual? Because, it is a cross-dressing series... I think, if I remember, there was a random character who was homosexual. But this series had nothing for me to be too mad about without enjoying it!! ^v^ So I think you should be fine. The series is still running and I think there are 22+ volumes!

p.s. At the end of volume one, (depending where you read it/who publish it, if it's a published version) there was a short story, that have nothing to do with the series. Honest, I was more uncomfortable with that short story than with the main series. It's wasn't so bad, but...

This IS a long running series, I've been keeping up with this series for a few years. The latest scanlations are around Chap 130+. This is a series that I enjoy for various reasons, however, there are some warnings attached.

Story Description: America-born Mizuki becomes so impressed by high jumper, Sano Izuki, on TV that she moves to Japan to attend his high school. Problem is this school is an all boys-school. She enrolls herself as a guy. The series entails a whole bunch of adventures as Mizuki disguises her gender identity and pursues her dreams & love interest.

Pros: Well-developed main characters, great supporting characters, a hard-to-hate cool strong yet naive/dense [when it comes to love] female protagonist, lotsa comedic scenes, sweet romantic moments between the two main characters, decent plot with everyday school activities (Ex: club activities, field trips, festivals) and additional emphasis on friendships/teamwork

Cons: Two characters are openly homosexual (the school doctor and one student). Expect some scenes of two guys kissing but nothing more than that (from what I recall). One character has a bit of psychic abilities (to sense ghosts/spirits). Two side stories have teen sex. The main story does not. Expect some mild nudity but nothing explicit. Some cover drawings may be regarded as sexy.

I liked HanaKimi because of the art and characters. ^_^ Hope this helps. Feel free to ask anything further.
