Imadoki
Genre:
Drama
Romance
Imadoki Synopsis: For Tanpopo Yamazaki, life at the elitist Meiô Academy seems way out of her league. The daughters of wealthy families snub her; other students make light of the fact that she actually tested into Meiô instead of relying on family connections, and the cute boy she saw tending a dandelion the day before wouldn't even acknowledge her existence. Hoping to make friends and have some fun, Tanpopo starts up a gardening committee, but will this help her survive in a school where superficiality and nepotism reign supreme? IMA DOKI follows the trials and tribulations of a budding horticulturist as she makes her way down the winding road to friendship. From Yû Watase, one of Japan's most beloved shôjo artists, IMA DOKI packs comedic charm and heartfelt antics into an adorable bouquet of whimsical fantasy.

Hilarious yet touching Jun 04, 2007 reviewed by Deejay_Beta
Imadoki! is one of those rare mangas you will encounter. Though it is a typical high school story it is more. It is about friendship, determination, courage, and most of all love. Yamazaki Tanpopo enters Meio Academy where everyone is rich and snubs her. She being a middle-class person tries to befriend the lord of the school Kugyou Koki. B/c he wants nothing to do with her, Tanpopo starts up the gardening committee. Gradually Koki's barriers around his heart are broken and he becomes her friend. They are joined by other students slowly, and little by little Tanpopo has an impact on their life as do they on her.
I must say Imadoki is probably one of the most hilarious mangas I have read. I found myself laughing almost every page--mainly because of the character Flippy but also because of how naive Tanpopo is. But I love her...she is a strong, determined, couragous girl who puts friendship before anything else.
I think you will find yourself wishing The story could be continued beyond the five volumes but we can't push Watase-sama to hard ^-^

Imadoki: a flower of it's own Jul 28, 2008 reviewed by Star_Angel_Genesis
I found this series to be very light hearted. It's most certanly a drama bringing forth several life issues that many girls face. And guys too for that matter. I felt this series, while not Yu's best, was a very cute read. Rejection, team work, lost family, and love triangles are really only where it starts. Its a very High school drama-ish type manga series. Very cute by all means and highly recomended to every manga collection, cause lets face it we can't be ALL fire and brimstone. It's definatly a great series to warm your heart.

Another Great Series by Yuu Watase Apr 15, 2008 reviewed by XxInsaneRagdollx
I have to say i fell in love with this series, it has real life themes to it, and troubles the modern teen can relate to, yet there's a sense of fantasy to it as well. I won't name anything specific, but there are a few surprises in the series. I have to say i fell in love with the characters in this story, they were comical, yet really dynamic. Any fan of Yuu Watase MUST get this series, I doubt they'll be disappointed.

My Favorite Manga Series Yet... Jan 10, 2009 reviewed by SaraDiva
I'm just gonna get out and say it... I LOVE Imadoki. It is one of the best mangas I have had the pleasure of reading. This is a nice, clean, simple manga with a wonderful story about love, friendship, courage and loyalty. I love the characters and could feel for both sides when the friction of the story set in. The story also seems realistic, but continues to be fun, funny and entertaining. Although, personally, I don't think it ended quite like it should have. But that's okay, no points deducted. I recommend this series to all of my friends who would enjoy a simple yet heart-wariming romance. And to anyone else who would consider the same. This series is hard NOT to like, and is worth any amount of money paid for it. I love this manga series...

Sometimes less is more. Jun 02, 2007 reviewed by honeypeaches
I love this series because it's the perfect length. I read the whole manga series and it's awesome. I love the story and how all the characters mesh together. The main character has such a wonderful personality.Tanpopo's character exemplifies all that we should be and all that makes a good romantic manga!!
