The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity, a gentle and heartwarming romantic comedy anime based on Saka Mikami’s manga, is set to stream on Netflix in the U.S., UK, and most regions starting September 7, 2025.

It originally premiered in Japan this summer on July 6, 2025, and has been airing weekly.

Here’s the trailer:

Set against the backdrop of two rival schools, Chidori Public High for boys and the prestigious Kikyo Private Academy for girls, the story follows the endearing relationship between Rintaro Tsumugi, an intimidating-looking but gentle soul working at his family’s bakery, and Kaoruko Waguri, a kind-hearted scholarship student.

Kaoruko is very clear about getting to know Rintaro despite their hatred shared between their respective schools. This anime will explore a Romeo-and-Juliet kind of dynamic between these two without anyone dying of course.

So, if you’re into mature anime rom-coms, you should definitely give this one a try.

CloverWorks brings this delicate romance to life under the direction of Miyuki Kuroki, with series direction by Haruka Tsuzuki and writing by Rino Yamazaki.

You might want to have an insulin pen on hand, though. Kaoruko is adorable as hell, and you might get diabetes watching her and Rintaro for a couple of episodes.

You’ve been warned.

(Yeah, I put a link up there. I’m serious. Stock up, guys)
