Love Through a Prism Anime Gets Novel Adaptation
The official X/Twitter account for Shueisha's Jump J-Books novel imprint announced on Wednesday that the Love Through a Prism (Prism Rondo) original anime series from Boys Over Flowers creator Yōko Kamio is getting a two-volume novel adaptation. Both volumes will ship on December 4 and will feature newly drawn cover art.



The series debuted on Netflix on January 15.
Kamio is responsible for the original story and original character designs. She also wrote the scripts with Saki Fujii. Kazuto Nakazawa (Vassalord, B: The Beginning) directed the series at Wit Studio. Yasuko Takahashi (B: The Beginning, Fena: Pirate Princess) served as one of the chief animation directors and character designer. Naoki Chiba ("naotyu-") composed the music for the series.
The anime inspired a manga adaptation by Maki Minami (Special A, Voice Over!: Seiyuu Academy) that launched on Shueisha's Shonen Jump+ service and on the Manga Mee girls manga app on January 8.
Guinness World Records awarded Kamio's Boys Over Flowers (Hana Yori Dango) manga as having the most published copies of a shōjo manga series written by a single author in 2023.
The manga was adapted into a Japanese anime, a 1995 Japanese live-action film, and a more well-known 2005 Japanese television drama, the latter of which spawned a sequel and a hit film. Taiwan also remade the manga into a live-action university drama titled Meteor Garden. Crunchyroll streamed a Korean live-action adaptation in 2011. A Filipino adaptation was announced in November 2017, but was never released. Hunan Television produced a Chinese live-action series adaptation in 2018. Thai television production company GMMTV produced a new live-action series that premiered in 2021.
The manga also inspired a stage musical adaptation ran in Japan from January to February 2016. The all-female Takarazuka Revue adapted the manga into a musical that ran in 2019. A new stage musical from Takarazuka Revue will ran from June 9-30.
