Boys Over Flowers

Boys Over Flowers is attached to two Meiji promotions: five chocolate packages featuring Tsukushi and the F4, and a 40-artist exhibition marking Meiji Milk Chocolate's 100th anniversary. Both tie the series to the confectioner's product lines.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated 2h ago

Boys Over Flowers now appears in two Meiji Chocolate promotions. The newer one is a set of five packages. Two Big Packs, Almond and Macadamia, show Tsukushi with all five F4 members together. Three BOXes, Milk, Black, and High Milk, each pair Tsukushi with a different character or group of characters, and the BOX designs set Hanazawa Rui and Domyoji Tsukasa against a shared third design. The packages go on sale at supermarkets nationwide and other locations.

The earlier promotion is the Meiji Milk Chocolate 100th Anniversary Exhibition at Tokyo International Forum Hall E2, running December 23 to December 30, 2026, from 11:00 to 20:00 with last admission at 19:30. In the manga corner, Yoko Kamio is one of 40 manga artists contributing newly drawn celebratory illustrations and messages, alongside Mitsuru Adachi of Touch, Tsukasa Hojo of City Hunter, Ai Yazawa of NANA, and Kanehito Yamada and Tsukasa Abe of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. A separate artist corner gathers 21 creators, and the venue holds more than 60 contributors in total across manga, art, and prose.

Across the two stories, the series moves through Meiji's confectionery lines: Milk Chocolate's centenary exhibition and the packaging for Almond, Macadamia, Milk, Black, and High Milk. The exhibition places Kamio's work in a roster ordered by serialization start, and the packaging puts Tsukushi and the F4 on supermarket shelves. Neither story reports new manga, anime, or film activity.
