"Hana Kimi" After Stories Chp 4 -- Sano and Mizuki

Here is the final "Hana Kimi" After Story and it features Sano, Mizuki, and Shin.  This short takes place directly after Sekime's wedding.  I think that was one of the first special one-shots after the end of the series.  If you recall in that special chapter, Sano proposed to Mizuki in a round about fashion.  I was hoping for a wedding, but what happens here is satisfying enough.  We get resolution on Shin's feelings toward Mizuki, which is something I wasn't expecting.  Actually, the Shin angle seems to be the focus of the one-shot.  Anyhow, Shin is adorable, so all is forgiven. And now, onto the link!

Hopefully, this isn't the last of Hana Kimi.  I really would like to see a one-shot with Sano and Mizuki in the US or something that gives us an indication of Sano's future as an athlete.

Next up is "Magnolia" Chapter 15.  As for ANS Chapter 26, we are still working on it.  Hopefully, we will be able to release it in the next two weeks.  We are truly sorry to keep you waiting, but real life happens and servers crash.  We simply ran out of the time to get it down this month.

Here's the latest Hana-Kimi Extra story from one of the May 2010 issues of Hana to Yume.

I did this quite hastily and I apologize for any typos, misspellings, or grammatical errors you may come across.  I also apologize for not taking the time to thoroughly clean the images.  I figured that a proportional effort was all that was required for a story that I plan to post only for a short time.

I have no idea whether this is the last planned extra story.  Quite personally, the only other extra stories that I will be willing to translate after this is one about Ashiya and Sano's wedding, Sano going to the Olympics, Nakatsu finding a girl of his own, or Nakatsu playing in the World Cup.  Other than those scenerios, I don't care anymore.

Anyhow, I didn't feel this extra story added anything new to the Hana-Kimi series and I didn't like the way it was written.  It's repetitive and employs nonsense to justify the trouble that Mizuki goes through in this episode.  Meh...Hopefully, though, die-hard Hana-Kimi fans will get something out of this.
