I'm not good at writing reviews, but I'm surprised no one has written a review on this yet.
You have the typical love triangle between a strong, beautiful, hard working girl, and the 4 handsome men of the house. They all have different personalities, but there isn't much character development throughout the story, but that didn't bother me.
The story is basically about a hard working girl called Mugi who has just lost her parents to suspected suicide, and her sister has suddenly vanished. Throughout the story she searches for any clues about her sister and parents, whilst gradually falling in love and overcoming her loneliness.
I
...
really liked the art work because it was very smooth, clear and beautiful, if I had to pick at anything it would be that the men's noses looked a bit flawed to me.
What I particularly liked:
The artwork, how strong the female lead is (she doesn't whine a lot about her circumstances, she always tries hard and never gives up), the tension about what's happened to her sister.
What I particularly disliked:
I wish it was longer (25 chapters are too short for me), how all 4 of the men eventually become romantically interested in the female lead.
Sorry this review isn't written well, I just feel this manga needs to have a review so people can enjoy reading it as much as I did.

I'm not usually bothered about writing reviews, but I have never been so moved by an anime before, that I felt compelled to encourage other people to watch it.
Story:
There were always lots of twists and turns in the story line, which I wouldn't have expected. It was a really interesting plot which I really enjoyed. The romance was great and I couldn't stop watching! The atmosphere of each episode was very mature, and usually beautiful (apart from the action scenes). I didn't like the heavy politics, which is my only complaint.
Art:
I think that type of art in anime is for the 'beautiful boys'. It makes
...
the women look less cute, but more beautiful and mature. I wasn't used to it at first and didn't like it, but I found myself growing to like it more and more with each episode. It certainly suited the male characters, they all looked so mature and handsome, which is never really a bad thing when you're a teenage girl.
Sound:
I loved the music, which is surprising as I'm not usually one for the music in anime. With each mood there was a perfect song to match the atmosphere, which made the overall enjoyment of the romance/action scenes even better. The music was mature and beautiful, and it fitted perfectly with the story line.
Characters:
I loved the fact that each of the characters grew older and developed new personality traits towards the end of the anime, even small things like the length of their hair, and their height. It made the anime seem more realistic. Each character has their own story and unique personality, and each one of them interested and fascinated me (especially Eugene/Mustafa). At times the men could seem a little bit dramatic, but I think that made them seem more realistic and relatable. Kajika was a female lead unlike any other, she was mature and passionate, and she never once annoyed me like most female anime leads do. They're the most interesting characters I have ever seen in an anime, each of them very admirable and beautiful in their own way.
Enjoyment:
I really enjoyed most episodes, but there were the odd episode or two were I was desperate to fast forward through to ignore all the political talks. I'm not really interested in politics, but I did at times enjoy the talks. That's really the only bad thing I can think of which would mark my rating down from a 10 to a 9. It's quite hard for me to cram all that information about the different places, people and conspiracies, but when you do understand and take it all in, it becomes very interesting. I think Hanasakeru Seishounen is probably one of those animes which you need to watch twice to fully appreciate. The romance was great for me, especially the romantic gestures and the beautiful words exchanged between the four men and Kajika. It really moved me when they would talk about finding love, it inspired me too. The whole series is really mature and enjoyable, I've never watched an anime like it before. The best part for me was the fact that it had a good amount of action, which would always leave my heart racing.
Don't be put off if you think it sounds too mature, I'm usually into the cute, happy anime which isn't hard to follow, so this was a different direction for me. Everyone should watch this, it's so beautiful. I think boys would appreciate this anime too, despite the heavy romance. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I did :)

First of all, I hate it when people say 'the only people that can like this anime are 14 year old girls'. I'm 18 years old and I loved this anime.
I'm very into romance with animes, and I always HAVE to have at least one or two kisses. Although Vampire Knight didn't really have one, I still loved it. It provided the right amount of romance, even if there wasn't much kissing.
I like how it has different elements to it, there's some thriller scenes, romance, comedy and some action. I would have liked more action, but apart from that it was
...
perfect for me.
The negatives? Like I said, lack of action, apart from that I can't really think of much else.
The soundtrack was great, it made my heart pound and I loved that. I was constantly singing the theme music for weeks after watching.
The art was better then average I'd say, sometimes Kaname could end up looking a bit odd, but apart from that it was nicely done.
I gave it a 9, but it would have definitely gotten a 10 if there was more fighting.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did :)
