The Up-Coming Special (thank GOODness)
So I definitely was not satisfied by the ending of this series. As other people have stated, they definitely didn't have enough character development for Sano. HOWEVER, there has been an announcement that there will be a one episode special!!! I felt that there was too much left unsaid between Sano and Mizuki. I knew that she loved Sano, that much was obvious, and that there was no way she could love Natsatku like she did Sano. However, the only way Sano seemed to express his feelings was to everyone but Mizuki. He did so much for her and because of her, without letting HER know. so... naturally I've been frustrated..
ANYWAY- about the special-

Last summer's "Hanazakari no Kimitachi e" drama series is returning for a one-episode special. Starring Maki Horikita, Shun Oguri, and Toma Ikuta, the show was very popular, especially among female viewers. It averaged 17.3% ratings, with the final episode reaching 21.0%.
According to Fuji TV, the special will take place half a year after the series' end. With Osaka Gakuen getting ready for an upcoming Valentine's Day event, Sano (Oguri) and Nakatsu (Ikuta) reflect on the final week of their last summer vacation, which falls into the timeline of the original series between episodes 7 and 8. The special also includes a graduation scene and addresses the relationship between Mizuki (Horikita) and Sano.
Filming begins on Wednesday, but no broadcast date has been specified yet.
