Hana Yori Dango Final: The Movie US DVD specs

Discotek's Asian sub-label Eastern Star will be releasing Hana Yori Dango Final: The Movie on US DVD in August and the impressive specs are now out, along with a first draft of the cover art.

Hana Yori Dango was originally a manga that inspired a TBS TV drama that got huge ratings over two seasons. The show started with the trials and tribulations of "tough weed" Tsukushi Makino (Mao Inoue) as one of the only poor girls at her ultra-rich high school, Eitoku Gakuen. She ran afoul of the "big men on campus", collectively known as F4, who in turn made her life completely miserable. However, over the span of the first season the leader of the group and richest kid at the school, Tsukasa Domyoji (Jun Matsumoto) fell in love with her, much to the dismay of his snobby mother who spent the better part of both seasons masterminding elaborate schemes to break them up.

The film picks up after the show, with the couple finally prepared to get married. Domyoji's mom even seems happy for them and gives Makino a family heirloom: a tiara worth 10 billion yen called "Smile of Venus". Of course, being Hanadan, nothing is ever easy -- so a thief eventually breaks into their hotel room, steals the tiara, and leads the couple on a madcap adventure around the world. Can they recover it before Domyoji's mom finds out it's missing and dooms their wedding? Maybe with the help of F4 and special appearances by almost every side-character ever to appear on the TV show.
