What does hana yori dango mean?? I know its also called boys over flowers but in an online japanese dictionary it says dango means dumpling... just curious.. thanks a bunch..!
Hana Yori Dango?
"The title Hana yori Dango, literally "Boys before Flowers", is a pun on a Japanese saying, "Food before Flowers" (花より団子, more exactly "dumplings rather than flowers", see dango 団子). "Food before Flowers" refers to the fact that food, being more practical and more necessary to survival, should be chosen over flowers, something pretty but not essential to life (and the real reason most people today attend Hanami). The author furthers the pun by changing the kanji of the title to mean "Boys over Flowers" (花より男子, "Boys over Flowers"?), implying that boys, like food, maybe are a necessity to life rather than a luxury like flowers. Note that "boys" (男子, "boys"?) is normally read danshi (だんし, danshi?), but the furigana force the reading dango (だんご, dango?)"
