| Ah, since my name has been nominated, I'll answer. It's not a surprise that it is the best-selling shoujo manga in Japan, and its No. 1 ranking is not surprising; it is a manga that is read by almost everyone who likes shoujo manga in Japan, even though it is not highly rated or read by many people at MAL. I wonder if there is a shoujo manga lover in Japan who hasn't read this manga. I'd rather ask myself, "Does it even exist? Even men who mainly read shonen manga sometimes mention it as the only shoujo manga title they have read. I think most women in their late 30s and early 40s have read it. I think most men in this generation have some idea of the contents of the manga just from the titles, even if they have never read the manga. Although the anime version did not become popular, the live-action movie, drama, and musical (Takarazuka Revue) are among the successful ones, and in Asia, several countries have made live-action dramas of the series. Even if you are not interested in manga, if your favorite actor or idol appears in a live-action drama, you may get hooked and read the manga on which it is based. Therefore, women of various generations are reading the manga, and although it has been quite a few years since the series was completed, it is still selling well. There is a pattern of two generations of mothers and daughters getting hooked on the works. I have read the manga, and I have reread it maybe three times. I also bought the manga for a while. I even bought Margaret, the manga magazine that serialized the work, for a period of time to read the serialization of the work. |

This was followed by a Japanese live-action feature film in 1995, The first live-action television adaptation was one produced in Taiwan, titled Meteor Garden (2001).
