Boys over Flowers 11 (
After meeting Teen of Japan shoo-in Ayano Kurimaki, Tsukushi Makino receives encouragement from Tsukasa Domyoji to continue. She is able to pass the first two rounds, mostly due to luck. In the final round, she comes up against Ayano who has returned to Japan for Seinosuke Amakusa.
Book description[]
- "Tsukushi Makino is from a poor family, but she's attending an elite school for the super rich. Her life has become intertwined with the ruling boys of the school in a whirlwind of love and confusion.
Tsukushi has just two weeks to prepare for the Teen of Japan contest! She can't do it all on her own so Tsukasa's sister, Tsubaki, offers her tutors in everything she'll need to know to win. She must stay at the Domyoji mansion while she receives her lessons. Can Tsukushi stand the rigors of this training, and will anyone bolster her spirits?" - —Viz description[2]
Summary[]
Tsukushi Makino's training for Teen of Japan gets off to a rough start. She starts to feel discouraged after hearing about Ayano Kurimaki, who is a shoo-in to win. In the park after school, Tsukushi runs into Seinosuke Amakusa. He advises her not to enter the contest since his childhood friend will surely win. Ayano coincidentally walks up at that moment. That night, Tsukushi attempts to leave Tsukasa Domyoji's home.[3] He convinces her not to leave and comforts her for the rest of the night. Afterwards, Tsukushi's training greatly improves. The day before the contest, she meets Seinosuke who offers to help her pay back her loan. Tsukushi politely declines, feeling that "This is no longer just a matter of money."[4]
In the first round, the contestants are tasked with picking out clothes that expresses their individuality. Tsukushi feels lost amongst the designer clothes until Tsukasa shouts encourage her to continue. Her outfit earns laughs from the audience, but one judge calls it a "stunningly original statement." Tsukushi passes on to the next round.[5] In the dressing room, an argument breaks out between Sonoko Maekawa and Ayano after the former criticizes Tsukushi. Ayano's engagement to Seinosuke is brought up. Once Sonoko leaves, Ayano reveals to Tsukushi that she came to Japan to face her head-on. In the second round, the girls' English skills are tested by the judge, Jody Grand, who converses with them over tea.[6]
During Tsukushi's turn, she stays silent before finally saying "Hallo." The conversation goes relatively well for a while, before Mrs. Grand begins to feel faint. She begins talking too fast for Tsukushi to keep up. Just as Mrs. Grand is falling over, Tsukushi shouts "pale" and catches her. The word happens to be what Mrs. Grand was talking about, impressing her. Tsukushi and Ayano pass on to the final round.[7] The two finalists are given a fifteen minute break, during which they meet Seinosuke backstage. Ayano becomes emotional when she reminds him of his promise to marry her that he made when they were children. Seeing how hurt Ayano is, Tsukushi promises to give Seinosuke her answer after the contest.[8]
