Synopsis

Despite being adjacent to one another, Chidori Public High School and the all-girls Kikyo Private Academy seem to exist in two different worlds. While the latter boasts an immaculate reputation and favors students from wealthy backgrounds, the former is a nest for dim-witted delinquents. Everyone at Kikyo harbors a deep hatred for their Chidori neighbors.

Sixteen-year-old Rintarou Tsumugi is a student at Chidori whose intimidating face leads people to avoid him. Rintarou pays no mind to this, as he is content with his group of friends. However, there is something he has not told them yet: sometimes, he helps out at his family's cake shop.

One day at work, Rintarou sees a customer at a table, but she runs off before he can talk to her. The next day, he receives an apology from the girl, Kaoruko Waguri, who explains that she did not run away because of his appearance and that she believes Rintarou is a kind-hearted person. Although he is not used to Kaoruko's bright personality, Rintarou looks forward to forming a friendship with her. There is just one obstacle that stands in his way: Kaoruko is a Kikyo student!

Fragrant Flower refers to a type of flower with a pleasant fragrance that people admire. Story centers on two high school students who attend separate schools—one for boys and the other for girls—divided due to some controversial events in the past. If you enjoy slice-of-life or romance genres, this series is VERY worth checking out. It breaks away from the common tropes often found in romance anime, such as the typical loser protagonist, a weak or shy female lead, or male characters who struggle with dating or display misogynistic tendencies. What makes this story stand out is the absence of the usual heartbreaking twists or ...

I love ts but holy lord, every character is an overly saccharine bundle of honey, always apologising for shit that doesn't matter or thanking profusely for holding the door open for them. the manga's a fun read but you'll have to accept that this doesn't take place on Earth, it takes place in the fuckin halmark christmas universe where no one's an asshole in any way, at all. even kaoruko's kikyo friends come around eventually. if this manga had a few characters that acted like fucking human beings once in a while it'd be a bit easier to read with eager eyes. but some of ...

Preliminary (1/? eps)

This series is the definition of mediocre. Giving it a 1 star isn't really accurate I'd say its more like a 4 but it really annoys me how hyped up this manga and its future anime adaptation when it brings nothing other than good art to the table.
The plot is repetitive and really cliché
The characters aren't unique or relatable and they are overall quite bland. None of them seemed especially unique and all of them seemed super dry.
The romance doesn't really make sense and it barely progresses throughout the series (chapter 10 is the same as chapter 100)
Overall it lacks anything special or even above ...
