    Peak

    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.

    The Fragrant Flower Blooms

    The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity is shaping up to be one of the most emotionally authentic and visually soothing romances of Summer 2025. With nuanced character work-especially from Rintaro Tsumugi and Kaoruko Waguri paired with CloverWorks' refined animation style and thoughtful score, it's already earning praise as a highlight of the season.

    It is one of the best romance anime

    The drawings etc. Of the anime impressed me from the beginning, and I liked the story too.

    As I continued watching The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity, I found myself captivated not only by its elegant animation style but also by the delicate way it portrays emotions. The subtle expressions, soft color palettes, and quiet moments between characters made the romance feel more authentic. I appreciated how the story didn't rush the relationship, allowing it to grow naturally. Hananoi's intense yet respectful love and Hotaru's slow emotional growth were portrayed with a sensitivity that felt refreshing compared to many other romance anime.

    I Love this show

    I completely agree with the widespread praise for "The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity". This show is a beautiful, heartwarming, and genuine romance that will capture your heart from the very first episode. The characters are well-developed, relatable, and authentic, making it easy to become invested in their journey.
