As announced during Aniplex Online Fest, an anime adaptation is on the way for Saka Mikami’s manga series The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity. The anime, which will be produced by CloverWorks, is due to premiere in 2025.
A teaser for the series has also been shared.
Kodansha USA began releasing the manga, which began serialization in October 2021, in English print earlier this year. Kodansha describes the first volume as follows:
“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 Rintaro, 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 Rintaro 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?”
