The only reason I know about that is because the Boys Over Flowers Wiki mentioned it on one of the pages, when I was on the website for research purposes the other day (us fanfic writers are always researching). You can always find the most fascinating things on that wiki.

At least you published your pics. I'm still in the pre-planning/drafting/research stage. Did I mention I've had this idea in my head since 2020, and I'm only writing it now 😅 I get you on the stressing of details. I decided I wanted to start writing chapter one the other day, and I spent 30 minutes trying to find out when a sweet shop closed in Japan. Which involved a Google search and me watching the Japanese Drama. Details.

Anyway, it's nice to find out there's a fellow fanfic writer. I'll be sure to check your stories out.

Makino's school uniform design, or, what are the colors of her clothes anyway?!

Hello, here is another post of me dissecting this 30 yo manga. This time we are focusing on Tsukushi's many uniform designs over the years! Enjoy!

If you ever read the manga and watched the anime, you may have noticed that Tsukushi's school uniform looks a bit different in both versions:

Her manga uniform has a gray tone, indicating that it is a dark color. Meanwhile, her skirt is checkered

In the anime, her uniform is yellow with a blue (not checkered!) skirt. It's a bit different from her manga design, but that's what usually happened with anime adaptations back then.

(They also changed the direction her suit buttons close. That's because the manga one was an oversight from the mangaka, girl's uniforms don't close that way.)

I imagine the animation studio changed the color pallete and a bit of the design to make the animation easier (again, as was common for anime from that time) and the mangaka kept them in her illustrations to keep the characters recognizable

also, were the black socks in this one an oversight or a reference to some of the dramas? Probably an oversight i'm reading too much into this

I know what you are thinking: "This is just our regular manga vs anime design difference from the 90's, why does it deserve a post?"

Because there is more!

Some of the anime merch shows her... wearing a red uniform?!? Its more often found on the VHS tape covers, but you can see it on some other merch too, like this puzzle i just saw on mercari:

?????????

Why red??? This is not the manga design, the suit color is dark but the skirt is different. It's also clearly anime merch. Was that some kind of prototype color pallete before the anime release?? Was there some version of the anime using a different color pallet? What is going on???? I have no idea.

This color was clearly the inspiration for the J-drama uniform, though (with a few changes).

So what was the original color of her uniform anyway? Well, we may never know. Correct me if i'm wrong, but i can't find any color art of her or another character in uniform from before the anime aired. The color images from the early days of the manga tended to show the characters in normal colors. Unless there is some Margaret color page I don't know about.

However, when you look at the color version of the manga (released digitally, many years later) you can see they colored it blue with a yellow checkered skirt.

I don't know if this is the originally intended color, or if the colorist designed for the job just thought it fit the design (though, i imagine they had some guidance for the colors), but it might be the closest thing to the original vision for her uniform colors.

This design + the black and white manga one was clearly the inspiration for the k-drama uniform (again, with a few changes)

(it might not look like in the picture, but Jandi's uniform is dark blue)

Also, in a few scenes she is shown to wear something else beside the normal uniform. Probably an alternative uniform for hotter days:

Which i think served as inspiration for the thai-drama/lakorn uniform

(I also think it served as inspiration for the coat Jandi wears under her uniform in the k-drama, but i could be reaching here)

What's the point of this post? Idk, it's late and i should be sleeping and this is probably full of spelling mistakes i'll only notice tomorrow and cringe at, but i hope you enjoyed the random uniform trivia.

Thanks for sharing this. I've always been intrigued by the fact that the uniform worn by Tsukushi has changed throughout the years. I will be honest; I've never liked anime uniform colors. It reminds me of the ugly uniforms high school students had to wear at my private school until we convinced the school board to change them. I was so glad the uniforms were changed a year before I entered the high school department.

Also, I had no idea that the uniforms worn in the K-Drama Boys Over Flowers were inspired by the colored manga version. Not only that, but also that there was a maroon version of the anime uniform! My favorite uniform has always been the J-Drama one and I always wondered why they had gone with that color pallete.

Honestly, one of my favorite facts about the Eitoku school uniform was that this was the original summer uniform:

I'm glad it was changed. I prefer the newer sweater vest version they used towards the end of the series. I'm working on a Hana Yori Dango fanfiction right now (when I should be focusing on grad school), and one of the things that keeps me up at night is what uniform am I going to have Tsukushi wear in my fanfic. I wish I were joking. I mean there are so many versions. I'm leaning toward the J-drama version.

Anyway, I too need sleep. But I'm glad I was able to see this on my feed.
