Hana-Kimi

Mizuki Ashiya sneaks into an all male boarding school by disguising herself as a boy, hoping to get close to her idol, the high jump ace Izumi Sano. Once inside, she discovers Sano has stepped away from the sport, turning her mission into a careful game of cover stories and steady nerves. The daily grind of an all boys dorm, late night pranks, and constant surveillance tests Mizuki's resolve as she dodges questions, threads carefully through friendships, and keeps her crush under wraps. With humor at every turn and a growing sense of responsibility, she juggles secrecy with the urge to meet the athlete she came so far to see.

An animated adaptation of Hisaya Nakajo's Hana-Kimi, releasing in 2026, with Aya Yamane voicing Mizuki Ashiya and Taku Yashiro as Izumi Sano, joined by Kikunosuke Toya, Koki Uchiyama, and Yuuichirou Umehara.

The show leans into the blend of lighthearted comedy and earnest drama as Mizuki negotiates identity, obsession, and friendship within a tight knit dorm. It asks what it means to chase a dream while staying true to yourself.
