What is The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity?

No Description

The official synopsis from Netflix: This story unfolds in a particular town where two infamous schools are in constant dispute: Chidori High, a boys’ school primarily attended by students with challenging academic records, and its neighbor, Kikyo Girls’ High, known for its students from wealthy and prestigious families.

One day, Rintaro Tsumugi, a second-year student at Chidori with a fierce appearance but a gentle heart, is assisting at his family’s patisserie when he meets a customer named Kaoruko Waguri. Rintaro cherishes his interactions with Kaoruko, as she doesn’t judge him based on his looks. However, this serene connection is abruptly shaken when Rintaro discovers that Kaoruko is a student at Kikyo. This revelation sets the stage for their challenging journey, as they strive to overcome the societal barriers imposed by their schools and environment, seeking to carve out their path.

Netflix shares The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity Theme Songs:
  • Opening Theme: Manazashi wa Hikari by Tatsuya Kitani
  • Ending Theme: Hare no Hi ni by Reira Ushio
Netflix also shared a first look at the new promo poster along with the new trailer:
