Boys Over Flowers is a manga created by Yoko Kamio. Shueisha published it in the magazine Margaret from March 1992 to August 2003,[1][2] collecting the series into thirty-six volumes. Viz Media bought the licensing rights to manga in 2003 for North America.[3] The manga was reprinted in Japan into kanzenban format throughout 2005 and 2006.[1] Kamio has written two prequel stories to the series, including "Story of an Encounter" and "Night of the Crescent Moon."[1] She was commissioned to write a sequel story in July 2006, followed by two-part story in early 2008.[4] These three stories were published as volume thirty-seven on June 25, 2008.[5]
On February 15, 2015, Kamio began a sequel, titled Boys Over Flowers Season 2. The series was released online on Shonen Jump+ and Viz published the chapters simultaneously in English.[6] It was collected into fifteen volumes in March 2020.[7] In December 2016, Kamio began a webcomic, titled Cafe de Hanadan, which is a series of short side stories of Boys Over Flowers. She publishes it sporadically on the Hana Yori Dango app.[8] Kamio also penned a special chapter for Margaret's 2000th issue in 2018.[9]
