The fourth son of the famous Caluanthes family is, well, quite infamous. Mockingly referred to as a bird of paradise, Fourth dresses gaudily, spends money like water, and has turned the trip he's been sent on to learn more about the world into his own personal gourmet dining tour. His behavior makes the rest of high society whisper about him behind his back. The only exception is Eiri Lawrence, who finds Fourth and his entourage intriguing rather than laughable - and who is everything that Fourth is not. Theirs is the world of high society, where truth and falsehood, and dark and light, intertwine.

In a society where money is king, the young men known as "flowers" hold a special role. In exchange for the financial support of those who have the means to patronize them, they serve their flower masters as symbols of taste, status, and wealth. Bought and sold at the whim of their masters, theirs is a precarious existence - save for the few who are lucky enough to have masters who can see the person behind the flower.Note - Despite the magazines it was published in, there is no actual shounen-ai in Hanamatsuri. The relationships between the male characters are more along the lines of heavy subtext. [ Roughly translated from Aki's atogaki for the book "...Well, there isn't any BL, sorry! I don't really know what 'homo' means...(laughs)" ]
