''Hana no Kishi'' is a 2010 [[Shojo]] manga series by Mai Nishikata.

 

As fellow knights seek to [[Throwing Down the Gauntlet|challenge]] Ran for her title for their own ulterior motives of using the Ohtori family's authority, Sei is being tested as the future head of the Ohtori family, and Sei's [[Arranged Marriage|arranged fiance]] [[Brilliant but Lazy|Ibara Tennou]] discovers Ran's secret, Ran and Sei struggle to overcome their trials.

 

* [[Alliterative Name]]: Saiki Souda and Shuuya Shizuka.

* [[Aloof Big Brother]]: Ibara's older brother and {{spoiler|Rei as "Midori."}}

** When Houjou finds out that {{spoiler|Rei is alive as Midori, Sen Kashiwazaki's "First Knight,"}} he is desperate to fight him and demands that Sei allow him to fight instead of Ran, but both Sei and Ibara make it clear that Sei's First Knight is Ran.

* [[Anguished Declaration of Love]]:

** Rin confesses to Ran, but his feelings are unrequited.

** {{spoiler|Ibara confesses to Ran, and while Ran feels mutually, she decides to stay by Sei's side as a "man." Ibara agrees to wait for Ran until she completes her goal and is able to step down from her black uniform and being a knight.}}

** Ibara ''tries'' to kiss Ran, but she stops it in Chapter 25.

* [[Generation Xerox]]:

** In Chapter 18, Sei is being opposed by traitorous knights who proclaim that denounce that she is the "true" head of the Ohtori family. As it turns out, in the past, this is what happened to one of the heads of the Ohtori family, Jin's older brother Gen (except he was destructive and violent), and this is what allowed Shidou, Jin, and several knights to betray him, thus making Gen "unqualified" to be the next head and it was passed on to Jin.

* [[Green-Eyed Monster]]:

* [[Love Dodecahedron]]: Sort of. Momokawa has a crush on Sei, who may or may not have feelings for Ibara, who is in love with Ran, who feels the same way. Rin also likes Ran, and Houjou has shown an interest in Ran as well. And then there's that joke about Sei loving Ran (whether it's platonic or romantically is left up to debate), as well as the subtext between Rei and Sei...

* [[Love Epiphany]]: After Momokawa asks Ran for help on confessing to Sei and proclaims how much his heart pounds when he sees her, Ran begins realizing she has developed feelings for Ibara after her heart pounds after sharing his shirt to cover both of them in the rain in Chapter 9.

** Sei admits to Ran that she is in love with someone, {{spoiler|which is implied to be Ran's older brother Rei}}, but she will not put love over her duty.

** Double subverted in Chapter 29. {{spoiler|Ibara confesses to Ran, who returns his feelings, but chooses to stay by Sei's side. By the end of the chapter, following the [[Time Skip]], they eventually become the [[Official Couple]].}}

* [[Used to Be a Sweet Kid]]: {{spoiler|Rei.}}

* [[Wham! Line]]:

* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]: Souda.

* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: Ran.
