Ms. Nakajo clearly sees Mizuki as an American girl, a nisei born in the U.S. to Japanese-born parents. The live-action dramas play this down, presumably to save on the cost of having to recruit and direct an actress who speaks American English and also Japanese (or Mandarin, in the case of the Taiwanese drama) with near-native fluency. But it seems to be an important part of Ms. Nakajo's conception. To say that "Mizuki Ashiya is a young Japanese girl, living in America" is not quite right.

I don't really think the ending of it was bitter sweet though, since everyone got what they were after in the end. What is good though is that there's talk of it getting an anime series as well. Long over due for that IMO I loved HanaKimi, it's one of my all time fave shojo series.
