Some sad news to share - Shoujo mangaka Hisaya Nakajo, best known for her long-running series Hana-Kimi (For You In Full Blossom) has passed away at the age of 50 due to a heart condition. Hana-Kimi ran from 1996 to 2004 in Japanese shoujo magazine Hana to Yume, and was officially released in English in the US by Viz Media. The series revolved around a girl named Mizuki, who becomes so infatuated with high-jump competitor Izumi that she disguises herself as a boy to attend his all-boy high school to meet him. The series was popular enough to get multiple live-action dramas, including in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. While Hana-Kimi was her only big hit, it was popular not just in Japan, but overseas as well. RIP to a beloved shoujo manga creator.

Re-reading shoujo manga from your childhood where the main plot device is "female main character cross-dresses to enroll in an all-boy's school and be close to the person she likes" truly hits different when you've figured out that you're non-binary later in life.

I recognized that I have missed so many (there's a lot out there lol). I didn't want any sequel to ones that are animated, so here are some others I thought about but didn't ultimately include:
The Water Dragon's Bride
W-Juliet
From Far Away (Kanata Kara)
Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen
St. Dragon Girl / St. Dragon Girl Miracle
Sakura Hime
NG Life
Shoujo Tenshi Milcute
Mugen Spiral
Demon Love Spell
