Hana Yori Dango / Boys Over Flowers {English Novel Version}

FOREWORD

{A/N: Please read this first before you proceed with the story, Thank U}

This work is basically a Literary Adaptation only. Literary adaptation means adapting of a literary source (e.g. a novel,short story, poem) to another genre or medium, such as a film, a stage play, or even a video game. It can also involve adapting the same literary work in the same genre or medium, just for different purposes. In this case, the literary source used is a manga which I adapted into an English novel version. So technically, THIS IS NOT AN ORIGINAL STORY BUT ONLY AN ADAPTATION OF YOKO KAMIO'S FAMOUS MANGA THE, HANA YORI DANGO a.k.a (Boys Over Flowers).
