HANA KIMI

School environment
Osaka High (Ohsaka Gakuen as written in the entrance gate of the school in the Japanese drama adaptation) is an all-boys school and its students are very popular to the girls of the other schools. Its sister school is St. Blossoms, an all-girls high school, where the students are the exact equivalent of those in Osaka High. St. Blossoms' main motto is "to give joy and happiness to the school life of every Osaka High student."
There are three classes for each of the three school years. These nine classes are divided into three "dormitories", as most of the students do not stay around the school area. The culture within the individual dormitories is immensely different.
Dorm 1: The students residing in Dorm 1 are all athletes. Most of them have gotten into Osaka High on a sports scholarship. Their Dorm Head, Tennouji, quite forces them to become a martial artist and often even hurt them, but in a funny and comical way. Dorm 1's crazy antics and martial arts talent contributes immensely on the humor of the story.
Dorm 2: Their head, Minami Nanba, is a boy who can "get any girl pregnant just by looking at her", or so says other students. The people in Dorm 2 are quite funny and they have different personalities so it's much easier to remember them. Their dorm has a mix of athletes and scholars. They are the "main dorm" in the story mainly because the lead characters, Ashiya Mizuki, Sano Izumi, and Nakatsu Suichi, stay there. Also, there is Noe, who is often seen making cosplay uniforms for the dorm, or other stuff. (Loves anime); Nakao, the homosexual who loves Nanba; Kayashima, the spirit quester/aura-reader; Sekime, Sano's teammate whose name is always forgotten by his classmates and dorm mates; and many more.
Dorm 3: The dramatic guild. They consider themselves the most intelligent dorm of all. They are all artists of some sort and/or very intelligent. Their dorm head, Himejima Masao a.k.a. Oscar, believes himself to be of German heritage, and is often speaking in German, even though no one understands him.
Inter-dorm rivalries are common, and would get particularly intense during the school's cultural festival. However, the three dorm heads, known as the Sakura Committee, would work together to help any student who was in any kind of trouble.
