The story of Hanabi is about Nakazawa Harumi who searches for the mysterious red flower from her past, the symbol of the last happy days spent with her parents, before they passed away when she was a child. To fulfill her dreams, Harumi becomes a Horticulture student, assisting the famous Dr. Emi Stratsbury, in hopes that she will gain clues to the whereabouts of her elusive flower. Along the way, Harumi meets Takahashi Akira, a total opposite in personality and social stature and angry sparks fly at each encounter as they fight against the prejudices they have for each other.

After losing her parents, Harumi fears to love again and she hides her growing feelings for Akira, afraid of the pain of rejection that she might feel. Akira, on the other hand, has never experienced love before and is disturbed by the chaotic feelings that Harumi causes in him. He tries to stifle the passion and jealousy with his mean and cold attitude and tries to avoid her at every moment. Despite his efforts, he is uncontrollably drawn to her, just as she is always seeking him out.
