Kodansha has officially released the 24th collected tankobon volume of Saka Mikami's romance series The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity (Kaoru Hana wa Rin to Saku). To commemorate this publication milestone, the production committee has initiated a special limited-time free streaming campaign for the television anime adaptation on the official Full Anime TV YouTube channel.
Limited Streaming Window
Viewers can access episodes 1 through 6 of the anime adaptation at no cost through Kodansha's official YouTube streaming platform. The limited engagement runs across a two-week window:
- Episodes 1–6 Window: September 9 through September 22
The campaign features a dedicated marathon playlist curated directly on YouTube, allowing both new viewers and returning fans to experience the pivotal opening arc of the series.
A Story of Overcoming Prejudices
Serialized on Kodansha's Magazine Pocket platform, the narrative centers on Rintaro Tsumugi, a student attending Chidori High School—an institution notorious for harboring troublesome underachievers. Directly adjacent stands Kikyo Girls' High, a prestigious academy whose student body harbors deep disdain for Chidori.
Beyond the drawn curtains lies a world I thought I would never touch.
Rintaro's imposing stature and fierce demeanor lead most peers to shun him. His routine shifts when he encounters Kaoruko Waguri while helping out at his family's pastry shop. Approaching him without fear or prejudice, Kaoruko forms an unexpected connection with Rintaro—unaware at first that she is a student of the rival Kikyo academy.
The ongoing manga serialization continues on the Magazine Pocket platform, with Volume 24 available across major Japanese retailers and digital storefronts.
