1995 - Japan Movie - Uchida Yuki, Tanihara Shosuke, Fujiki Naohito
Omg, I think I have watched this one! I don't remember much of it, but my impression was, lol, it was awful!! But it was really amusing to see these veteran actors playing Makino-Domyoji-Hanazawa, such popular characters nowadays, in their youth days^^ I just have to mention that Kimura Takuya had once voiced Hanazawa Rui for Hanadan CD book in 1993 ^o^

Is this the only manga that gets non-Japanese adaptation only? Or is there any other Taiwanese drama adapted from a shojo manga that has never been adapted to Japanese drama?
We can see Taiwanese has been pretty quick and early in adapting Japanese manga, earlier than Japanese adaptations, what's with that? And Korean suddenly follow the trend of adapting Japanese manga, just recently... what's with that too?^^

2007, 2008, 2010 - Japan Anime
I wonder why it hasn't been adapted to Taiwan/Korea yet? The musical theme too difficult to make?
Ouran High School Host Club (Manga 2002-2010)
2006 - Japan Anime
2011 & 2012 - Japan Drama & Movie - Kawaguchi Haruna, Yamamoto Yusuke, Daito Shunsuke
