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

    ABSOLUTELY CINEMA, THE BEST ROMCOM <3333

    It's the best romance anime this season, and one of my favorites. I love Waguri-san and Rintaro-kun's relationship. Although the anime isn't over yet, they've done a great job with the episodes so far. And I hope they animate the second, third, fourth and all the seasons that this manga needs. I REALLY REALLY REALLY LOF THEM <3333.

    GOOD

    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.

    WHOLESOME

    "The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity" (2025) is a super cozy romantic comedy anime that'll warm your heart, make you smile, and maybe even tug at your heartstrings.

    If this show sticks closely to the manga, it's got serious potential to be one of the best rom-com anime out there.

    The opening and ending songs are pretty catchy-give them a few more watches, and they'll probably grow on you and can even become your favourite.

    The animation and art style? Straight-up gorgeous! It's some of the best I've seen in the rom-com genre, with stunning visuals that pop off the screen.

    Characters like Rintaro and Waguri are total standouts-you'll love them instantly. I haven't read the full manga, but I'm betting the side characters will get solid development too, as long as the adaptation stays faithful and perfect.

    The show's super heartwarming and wholesome, with clean, laugh-out-loud comedy that hits just right.

    If the show successfully adapts the manga perfectly, that this anime will be 10/10.

    Overall , if you're craving a top-tier rom-com anime, this one's a must-watch. It's already shaping up to be a gem !
