Volume 1
Japanese-American track-and-field star Mizuki has gotten herself to transfer to a high school in Japan...but not just any school! To be close to her idol, high jumper Izumi Sano, she's going to an all-guys' high school...and disguising herself as a boy! But as fate would have it, they're more than classmates...they're roommates! Now, Mizuki must keep her secret in the classroom, the locker room, and her own bedroom. And her classmates--and the school nurse--must cope with a new transfer student who may make them question their own orientation...
Plus a bonus story, The Cage of Summer!
Volume 2
High jump champion Izumi Sano has realized that his slender new roommate Miyuki is a girl, but he's decided to keep her secret so she doesn't get kicked out of their all-boys' high school. Now they're becoming good friends, without worrying about "guy" or "girl" stuff--or so Miyuki thought until Izumi kissed her one night! Before Miyuki has time to freak out, in steps a bigger problem: her American half-brother Shizuki, who's not too thrilled to find out that his little sister is cross-dressing 24 hours a day. But handsome Shizuki has problems of his own...
Volume 3
Izumi, his friend Nakatsu and our crossdressing heroine Mizuki are hired to work at a beach chalet run by the family of weird school nurse Dr. Umeda! But when Kagurazaka--Izumi's high-jump rival--shows up with his two younger sisters in tow, the job gets personal!
Kagurazaka's attractive sister Tamami has a crush on Izumi too, and she sees Izumi's classmate Mizuki as a way to find out about the object of her affections. And then someone realizes that Mizuki's actually a girl...
Volume 4
All-male Osaka High School is holding its annual war of the dorms, and for the students, there is no escape!
Unfortunately, even though she'd be happy to just compete in the 500-meter relay, Mizuki is forced to enter the Cross-Dressing Pageant...and pretend to be a boy pretending to be a girl! Worse still, a rival dorm targets Mizuki as a threat to their athletic supremacy! Can dorm chief Minami Nanba make winners out of this class while dealing with his own secret traumas?
Plus a bonus story, The Thirsty Moon!
Volume 5
It's the final day of the Osaka High School Festival, and two big competitions are still up in the air: the relay race and the cross-dressing pageant! You'd think Mizuki, an actual XX-chromosome girl disguised as a boy at an all-guy high school, would be a better cross-dresser than her classmates, but things are never so easy--and what if winning the contest blows her cover? That might be a relief for her classmate Nakatsu, who doesn't know that Mizuki's a girl, just that he's in love with her. But when a real girl falls in love with Nakatsu, his love life gets even more complicated...
Volume 6
When a sports reporter comes looking for a scoop on Izumi Sano, Japan's most promising young high-jumper, Mizuki's own secrets are brought into the light! Can she hide the fact that she, Sano's roommate, is actually a cross-dressing girl? Meanwhile, Mizuki's classmate Nakatsu, unaware of Mizuki's female-ness, struggles to choose between his girlfriend and "the love that dare not speak its name." But a wrench is about to thrown into these relationships from two thousand miles away. Julia, Mizuki's best friend from America, is coming from Japan to go to school!
Volume 7
Julia is Mizuki's girlfriend?! As the shocking lie tears Osaka High School apart, Mizuki's classmates make their moves on the blonde, blue-eyed transfer student! Then the whole class leaves on a school trip to Hokkaido, complete with an overnight stay at the hot springs! With their "chaperone" Dr. Umeda busy getting to know the locals, it isn't long before people start taking off their clothes (to bathe, all right?). But how long can Mizuki's gender stay secret inside the boy's bath?
Volume 8
Tired of Sano and Mizuki taking their relationship so slow, Julia confronts Sano to get him moving faster. But Sano has more things to worry about...his younger brother, Shin, has run away from home! Then, when a photo of Minami, Nakatsu and Sano appears in a girls' fashion magazine, the men of Hana-Kimi find themselves stalked...and propositioned!
Volume 9
Framed by a teacher?! Falsely accused of using a cheat sheet during an exam, Nakatsu must confess to a crime he didn't commit or be kicked off the soccer team forever!

Then, suave photographer Akira Hara sets his sights on another model...Mizuki!
Volume 10
Award-winning fashion photographer Akiha Hara wants Izumi, Nakatsu and Mizuki for his new photo shoot! But the handsome, bisexual Akiha may have a more than professional interest in his models.

Volume 11
Mizuki and her friends go to the country, where they meet and try to help a ghost pining for his lost love. Then, for the big Christmas dance party, Mizuki and Nakao are recruited to help make up for a shortage of girls--by dressing up as girls! This turnabout for Mizuki, however, proves to be the least of the complications that flare up when the whole ploy proves too successful!
Volume 12
The Christmas dance party begins, and Mizuki looks for a chance to give Sano a present. Later, Mizuki flies home for New Year's and an unexpected reunion with Gilbert, her first love.

Volume 13
Mizuki is broke, so she lands a part-time job with Akiha, the photographer. Among her first-day experiences: spilling tea on male diva supermodel "Alex."

Meanwhile, at Mizuki's school, food is disappearing, with the culprits leaving flowers in place of what they've heisted!

Dr. Umeda reflects on his past after hearing from an old friend, while Mizuki and Sano find their mutual attraction pulling them ever closer to the brink!
Volume 15
Unable to forget her near-kiss experience, Mizuki finds herself drawing ever closer to Sano, and not in a "roommates" way, either. The tension builds when Nakatsu asks Sano point-blank: Do you like Mizuki? Can Nakatsu and Sano's friendship survive the answer? Meanwhile, Sano's old high-jump rival returns, along with a surprising new challenger!

Can Mizuki just sit back and watch as Sano fights the father he turned away from...and the brother who never forgave him for doing so?
Volume 17
As the giant track meet approaches, Mizuki and Sano face an assortment of foes: Sano's old high-jump rival Kagurazuka, and Sano's own little brother Shin! But Shin's trainer is the one man Sano hates the most: his own father. Can Mizuki mend the rift in Sano's family? While Sano focuses on winning, one person is focused only on Mizuki: Nakatsu, the other boy who loves her...
Volume 18
Under his father's disapproving eyes, Sano faces his own brother in a high-jump competition! Then, a schoolwide treasure hunt turns into a grudge match between Kayashima and his self-proclaimed rival, Modoru the onmyôji, a traditional Japanese occultist. Will psychic powers or black magic prevail? But Modoru has something else on his side: the power of cuteness!
Volume 19
This is what it's all been building up to...Shin, Izumi and Kagurazuka compete against one another in the high jump! Then, Sekime gets his own moment in the spotlight when his classmates see him with a strange girl. But if we're talking "strange," she doesn't even compare to the woman who comes onto campus and sweeps an embarrassed Nakatsu off his feet...Nakatsu's mother!
Volume 20
Nakatsu's mom is in town, and she has plans for her son: she wants him to go home after graduation to take care of the family business!
