Synopsis

Chidori High is a boys’ school that takes in the dregs of society with the lowest grades. Next door stands Kikyo Girls’ High, where the wealthy, high-class families send their precious daughters. Chidori second-year Rintarou, who has a fierce face but a gentle heart, is helping at his family’s patisserie when he meets a girl named Kaoruko. The two hit it off right away…but this blissful peace is quickly disturbed when Rintarou discovers that Kaoruko is actually a student at Kikyo. Worse, she doesn’t seem to realize what a huge problem this really is! Will these two be able to forge a path for themselves, and sidestep the traps (metaphorical and literal) laid by their classmates? (Source: Kodansha USA)

I'm sorry for asking, but when will they stop apologizing?

Even before the anime premiered, I came to know this series because of its massive score in absolutely every aggregator site, the consensus about it seemed to be extremely positive, to the point of being called one of the best romance manga of all time. I always thought that that must be an exaggera…

The characters may apologize a lot, but it ends up being more real than you could ever imagine.

webm(https://v.animethemes.moe/KaoruHana-OP1.webm) Sometimes, looking at the anime I have watched, I wonder to myself, why do I gravitate to the romance genre so much? What is it about two people falling in love that strikes a chord with me? To me, I find the idea of becoming a better person along w…

A romance story where the romance is the least interesting part of it.

_The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity_ is the story of Rintaro Tsumugi, a boy who grew up shunned by everyone else. He values himself so little that he doesn't see himself as worthy of friendship, let alone love. However, after experiencing genuine kindness, Rintaro's eyes are opened to the world…

This heart-felt romance made me quit my anime hiatus (Spoiler-free)

It has been quite a long time since I got invested into anime like my first time with it. I pick up shows, all enthusiastically, and end up dropping them after a few episodes. This is my current trend in watching anime recently, and it really breaks my heart. But not all is in despair, as a very few…

Unique premise, but weak character focus and missed emotional depth held the series back.

Note that I didn't read the original work (nor do I plan to) prior to watching this series. Many points from this review are to be blamed on that work though, but since I'm reviewing the anime I'm mentioning them here. I saw lots of wasted potential, the series was focusing on the wrong people all…

Decent Romance, Boring Characters

A decent romance with many somewhat boring characters. A common complaint is that all people do is apologize, but I think the reason that's so notable is the lack of other action. Subaru initially acts toward Rintaro more than a little inappropriately, and yet Rintaro does nothing but feel bad and a…

A strong teen romantic drama with excellently realized characters that is sometimes a bit too direct and melodramatic

Kaoru Hana is a strong teen romantic drama that covers a surprisingly wide range of topics with both sincerity and flair. Despite being quite on the nose with its themes and character work, it still occasionally finds itself overindulging in the melodrama much of the genre is susceptible to. To the…

A romance that depicts healthy communication as a way to resolve conflict? What a concept!

Not gonna lie, I'm kind of mad at Netflix. I mean, the anime adaptation of one of the most beloved romance manga in recent years is streaming on your platform, and you wait to license it and cause it to not start streaming until two months after it started airing in Japan? Do you WANT people to pira…

Good and cute romance anime with lovable characters, worth to watch it but not worth for hype

I decided to go with hype train and watch this cute, beautiful and adorable anime.

I overall really enjoy the show and resonate well with Rintaro Tsumugi.

I might be a little biased since I read the manga first, or maybe it’s because Rintaro is genuinely one of my favorite characters of all time — but I love The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity more than I can properly put into words. It’s not just my favorite romance anime or manga, it’s honestly…

Un romance scolastico dolce e curato, con personaggi ben scritti ma rallentato da troppi flashback.

Un anime molto dolce in tutti i sensi. Le aspettative su The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity erano alte, visto quanto se ne è parlato bene, e posso dire che nel mio caso non sono rimasto deluso. Non è un capolavoro e non porta nulla di rivoluzionario, in termini di trama siamo davanti a una stor…
