Plot Summary: Makino Tsukushi, a working-class girl, attends an elite escalator school called Eitoku Academy (Eitoku Gakuen), populated by children from rich, high-society families. She is the “weed” of the school, surrounded by all the rich kids, including the “Flower” Four (F4). The F4 leader and son of the wealthiest, most powerful family in Japan, Domyouji Tsukasa, takes an interest in Tsukushi, because she is the only girl at Eitoku who doesn’t fawn over him. However, his hot-headed nature and bullying ways are originally a major turn-off for Tsukushi, who has her sights set on someone else.

Over the course of the series, however, Tsukushi’s feelings evolve, and she begins to appreciate the degree of change that occurred in Tsukasa once he fell in love with her. He becomes fiercely loyal to Tsukushi and believes in her beyond all doubt, and slowly gets her to see him in a different light. The physical obstacles and emotional challenges of their rocky high-school courtship form the basis of the story. Other themes include Tsukushi’s attempt to fit in at the school, the problems of her family’s lifestyle and income, and the decadent lifestyle of upper-class Japanese girls. (Source: A6).
