| I didn't expect that this show turns out to be better than the rest of the series I previewed this April. I decided to pick this show since I haven't seen any good "reverse harem" titles lately. It seems like I'm also attracted to the main female character. Honestly, she doesn't seem to look like a typical "damsel in distress" type of character. Lastly, I like the way that the series will have 39 episodes. Actually, I'm beginning to dislike shows with less than thirteen episodes. This will leave you some sort of feeling that the show is going to be a little bit "rushed" if it has lesser episodes. |

| Wow. This seems pretty bad. From the visuals to the characters, script and premise, it all just seems bad. And it's 39 episodes? I'm not really seeing how they could possibly maintain pace and interest for that long. I'll watch a few more episodes, but a lot of red flags have gone off for me. |

| It's the same as others have said: Mary Sues aren't interesting. She's perfect and absurdly sheltered...yay! Absurd really is the key word with all of this. I'm just not really buying any of it. Worst of all was the expository conversation between Kajika and her father. Very cringe worthy for me. |

Maybe development will make things better in this series? |
| Well, yeah, but how do you develop perfect? I kind of see this going the same way that Earl and Fairy played out. She's so charming and independent, yet utterly clueless about love, and winds up having a bunch of men around her to bail her out of close situations, undercutting the "strength" and "intelligence" that she supposedly has. |

Maybe she get smarter, maybe something change her and then you will like her. Me seen too many animes that beginning is bad but later amazing. This old anime so maybe adaptation might be good since many of my friends did not see this since the 80s. |
| The problem with that is that she becomes more perfect than she was in the beginning. You just don't really give the protagonist room to grow when their only flaw is "I've never been in love/don't know what love is/don't want to be in love with you, etc." Of course, I could be wrong, and she could be an utterly flawed character, but it just doesn't seem that way to me. It feels like Li is one of the bachelors, maybe the annoying kid bodyguard, and some other guy that is somewhat close to her, or not at all, and she ends up being torn by all these wonderful men in her life who she loves equally for different reasons and maybe she makes a choice in the end with the one person whose always been by her side. |

Guess it need time to develop. Is 39 episodes after all. |
| This was so much better than I expected, and the story and plot are very interesting for me to watch Hanasakeru Seishounen. I am not surprised that Hanasakeru Seishounen may have 39 episodes, but I realize that show needs time to develop. Besides, I don’t mind about that length, anyway, because I am a big fan of shoujo after all. |
| first episode was a bit dissapointed me but its gonna be 39 episode after all. now waiting a better 2nd ep which meets my expectations. |
 |
| omg I love the voice cast for this show. This is gonna be awesome. and it looks pretty good so far. I'm liking it! just one question... she didn't ask if there was a time limit... so this could be going on for a while, eh? And with 12 volumes, think this will be completed in the 39 eps? or are we looking at two seasons? |
 |
| it's not too bad,i'm just going to keep watching it and see how it goes^^ |
 |
| The animation looked like a cheap hentai and wasn't constant until the end, the situations were corny and the lead isn't that likable so far imo. Kinda got interested 3 quarters of the way through, so I'll give it a few more eps. |
 |
| I loved this anime it really reminds me of Saiunkoku Monogatari and that is one of my most favorite animes. I will see how it turns out. |
 |
| good opening episode looking forward to how it all develops! |

| Leopard-sama is back!! Oh wait.. This time.. Fukuyama Jun gets to voice somebody else rather than his Leopard role! This anime has good animation or the least to say, its the type of animation coloring I prefer as opposed to many animes that have a different style of animation. More over.. There is Leopard-sama and Fukuyama-sama! |

| It really bothers me how Kajika fed the whole strawberry to that girl instead of taking the leaves off. UGH. :/ |
| HSROSE. HOSRE. HORSE HORSE HORSE HORSE. |
| I liked this episode and I'm definitely going to watch the next one. I'm having trouble finding subbed episodes but I'm sure someone will make it happen. I thought the first mention of Mustafa was touching. I could relate to it better than I could've if she was talking about love. I think it's a unique and interesting addition to the anime. Paper said: It really bothers me how Kajika fed the whole strawberry to that girl instead of taking the leaves off. UGH. :/ That bothered me a lot, too. |

| I think this anime may be really good. I'm lookin' forward to seeing next ep. ;) |
| oh wow this looks so good! Normally I find reverse harem kind of a silly genre (even though I still watch it, lol) but kajika seems awesome and I love the relationship between her and her dad. I can't wait to see the 'suitors' he chose! haha |
| mmmmhh a strong leading girl for a reverse harem, i might be liking this anime |
| I'll be honest that I decided to watch this because I was attracted to Li Ren~ I don't have high expectations but hopefully it won't disappoint me :) |
 |
| Wait? She’s 14 and how old r the guys? p.e.d.o.p.h.i.l.e.s -_- |
