The title means "Flowers over Boys," and like Marmalade Boy, it's a high school romantic soap opera of tangled and confused relationships. Unlike Marmalade Boy, it's set at a realisticly brutal high school of elites, and the characters have much more believable faults.

The action starts as when the heroine, Tsukushi, decides to stop cowering and stand up to the F5, the overpriveledged gang of boys that run the school, and wins the unwanted attention of their leader, Domyouji. Since high school cruelty is more present in this series than others, the question of what characters truly want, what they will resort to in order to get it, and how they change forms a major focus of the story.

Perhaps the real fault of this series is the general unlikability of many characters, but there's much to like about this approach. Most notable is the muted, "watercolor" approach to the art, and a classical preference in the background music as opposed to Marmalade Boy's pop.

The TV show has 51 epidsodes broadcast from September of '96 to August of '97. I don't know of any commercial releases, and this review is based on the fansubs. These web sites have more info.
