Treasures (トレジャーズ,Torejāzu) was a magazine sold in Japan. It was popular among teenagers, including students from Eitoku Academy. Junpei Oribe modeled for the magazine and once appeared on the cover with Tsukushi Makino.
Junpei Oribe, under the name "Jun," was hired to model for the February issue of Treasures. He brought Tsukushi Makino to the shoot. After introducing her to the photographer, Junpei convinced him to take some photos of him and Tsukushi together. Tsukushi was quickly dressed in men's wear and had her hair and makeup done. She was not thrilled, so Junpei assured her that the shots would not make it to the magazine. The editor, however, ending up choosing one of the pictures for the cover. Tsukushi was annoyed upon seeing Treasures and nearly ended her friendship with Junpei. He then cried, leading her to shout "I was just mad!"[1]Tsukasa Domyoji approached the two while holding the magazine. He was angry about her appearing on the cover with Junpei. A fight then occurred between him and Junpei.[2]
The magazine appears in the episode, "Shock! Horror! Another Red Card!," of the Boys Over Flowers anime (1997). It has a near exact appearance to the manga version, except for the bottom text which has been changed. Like in the manga, Tsukushi and Junpei are on the cover. She becomes angry when she sees it, nearly ending their friendship right then and there. It also becomes a point of contention among Tsukasa, Yuriko, Erika, and Minako.
A magazine, titled Hot, appears in episode eight of Meteor Garden (2001). Dong Shan Cai (Tsukushi) and Xiao Shun (Junpei) pose for the magazine as his friend is the photographer. Their photos only appear in an article, not on the cover. Shan Cai is embarrassed to see the title of the article, "How to Arouse Your Partner," and becomes slightly annoyed with Xiao Shun. Dao Ming Si (Tsukasa) also sees the article and confronts Shan Cai about it.
It appears in the first episode of Hana Yori Dango Returns (2007). Junpei promises that the photos will not appear in the magazine. When Tsukushi sees them on the cover, she tells him that they might not be able to be friends. Treasures is also a popular internationally as Tsukasa sees it while living in New York. Sojiro and Akira mistakenly think Tsukushi took the photo to get Tsukasa's attention.
