Joō no Hana (Japanese: 女王の花, lit. "The Queen's Flower") is a Japanese historical romance manga series written and illustrated by Kaneyoshi Izumi. The story revolves around Aki, a cheerful princess who is treated coldly by others, despite her royal title. One day, Aki meets Hakusei, a slave boy with golden hair and blue eyes. The two form a bond, overcoming their differences in status; however, danger awaits them.[1][3]

The manga premiered in Shogakukan's Betsucomi magazine in the November 2007 issue (released on October 13).[4] It was serialized on an irregular basis until the June 2010 issue (released on May 13), after which it was serialized every other month.[5] The final chapter was published in the January 2017 issue (released on December 13, 2016).[2] Shogakukan collected the individual chapters into fifteen bound volumes under the Flower Comics imprint from August 26, 2008, to March 24, 2017.[6][7] The manga is licensed in France by Kazé Manga.[8]

In 2015, Joō no Hana won the 60th Shogakukan Manga Award for Best Shōjo Manga.[1]
