Kaoru Hana wa Rin to Saku

Really good first episode, very nice animation, nice opening and outro, good voice actors, beautiful atmosphere, and very nice art style. It's a bit sad what Netflix has done, but hopefully this series will still be successful. Hopefully, through this animation, more people will hear about this great work and consume it. Very good main characters and the bakery thing works very well. The manga is also very good. One of the best romantic mangas, and hopefully, animes as well. I recommend the series to anyone who likes romantic series. Please watch this series and. Very great characters I recommend it to anyone who likes to see romantic.

My heart can't take this level of pure, wholesome romance. The pacing is slow but intentional, every glance and silence hits deeper than most dramatic love confessions. The visuals are soft and soothing, matching the warm emotional beats. The chemistry between the characters is beautifully subtle yet powerful. I smiled, I blushed, I melted. If you want an anime that heals your soul and makes you believe in quiet love again, this is it. This story deserves a full anime adaptation - it's too beautiful to stay just on paper. The characters feel real, the emotions are honest, and every moment leaves a lasting impression.

This is truly something. Instead of boring plot, unnecessary fan service and stupid things happening we see an amazing slow burn story. The pacing, the fluidity is great. Also the production was top notch. The characters are well written and very likeable. My favourite is Usami ofc (dude is literally me lol😂) The osts were also note mentioning. But what I loved the most is that instead of blue bolling us with stupid writing they went straight to the point. The Ending was amazing. Absolutely loved it. Cannot wait for for. I might just check the manga who knows. Anyways it was such pleasant experience. Fragrant Flowers gets a 8.8/10

/10 from me.

I know, a 40+ dude probably isn't the target audience for this, but I just can't help it.

I'm sitting here watching every episode with a smile on my face and tears in my eyes looking forward for the rest of the show to release.

I think what gets me is that the communication in this show is just what I'd want the real world to be like, but it never is. The characters actually think about the intentions of others and interpret things charitably. While they are filled with self doubt, they express their love and gratitude in a genuine way and I think everyone who's ever felt like Rintaro or Subaru wished they had someone like Kaoruko in their lives.

Most of all it's just so nice to see an anime where you don't spend five seasons of people not talking to each other and instead just assume everything all the time.

It's the type of story that's made for anime, because you get the perfect balance of inner monologue and interaction with others, that would be very hard to pull off in another medium.

Do yourself a favor and check it out, but bring plenty of tissues unless you're made of stone.

The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity is a tender, feel-good romance that glows with quiet warmth. It tells a gentle story of two students from different worlds finding connection through kindness and respect. Soft visuals, calm pacing, and sincere emotions make it a soothing watch, perfect for anyone who loves slow-burn, heartwarming love stories.
