I definitely get the impression that others seem to like it more than I do. It has, after all, been adapted into not one but two Asian dramas (Japanese and Taiwanese), with one more (Korean) on the way soon!

I've been wondering about <i>Hana-Kimi</i> since reading others' comments in passing; the local library (well, the small system that owns a copy) has claimed to have vol. 1 "in transit" for three months, which might mean it's lost. I'm still curious for myself, but now I feel less inclined to purchase a copy as the next step in quelling my curiosity. Interesting–thanks for posting this.
