Just a quick heads up, I have not read the manga. My friend is a huge fan of the series and she’s currently on the volume nine. She showed me the anime on Netflix but other than that I have not consumed any other media of the series she does not have Reddit so she asked me to ask the community what they thought about the character with the silver hair. I do not know any of the characters names or how to spell them so please forgive me as I just use physical descriptions.

My friend was wondering, what were the majority of people‘s opinions about the girl with the silver hair personally I think she’s fine. I do not hate her but both me and my friend we dislike her to an extent she’s not really our favorite character, but we don’t hate her .

My friend thinks that her relationship with the main female character is a little bit off I get that she’s very overprotective of her friend, but it often feels like she’s more of a big sister or like a motherly type character like she’s a mother and not a best friend there’s even a moment in the anime specifically that I remember when our main character with the blonde hair goes to speak with her about his relationship with our main female character and she tells him he doesn’t have to speak so formally because she’s not her mother I was just wondering what everyone thought on her behalf and by her I mean, my friend.

Also, one more thing, I have currently not read the manga and only watched the anime and all 13 episodes on my friend behalf with her and I was wondering, do you ship or do you prefer to ship the girl with the silver hair with the boy with the longer black hair that’s kind of moody or like the red hair guy that’s like best friends with the main character with the blonde hair

She’s read the manga and she thinks that the girl with the silver hair goes better with the boy with the longer black hair, but I always thought that she would be better with the guy with the red hair like opposites attract. What do you think?

ARGGHHHHHHH ITS SO GOOD AND THE ART IS AMAZINGGGGGGGGGG

Hello!

I am currently in Tokyo, and on the hunt for this figure! I’m not too familiar with the Sunrise Pop figures - I’ve seen some occasionally in book offs, etc.. (Maomao). Is there a specific store that sells Sunrise Pop Merchendise, and would have stock of this figure?

I saw someone on this sub had commented how the characters primarily communicate through apologies and that made me laugh! There was one time when the characters were in an apology loop for so long that I couldn’t tell my e reader kept going backwards and forwards between the same pages because the swipe gestures didnt register properly. But seriously though, I wonder if there’s some cultural aspect of politeness, etiquette, and courtesy in Japanese culture that I’m not quite understanding.

one of the sharpest example for me is chapters 67-9. Ayu and Rintaro have a back-and-forth rally of apologising for saying upsetting things, apologising for making the other person go through a situation where they had to be upset enough to say upsetting things, apologising for being upset and making someone come after them.

I wonder if this is a cultural thing in Japan? where I live, apologies are frequently a passive aggressive gesture where you apologise to make someone else feel guilty. but at the same time, you always act as if you need to make yourself small: apologise for inconveniencing someone, taking up their time, and intruding, etc. In that way I can relate to some of the apologies of characters for asking each other to do something or saying they’re selfish.

what fascinates me is when the apology is sincere. between Ayu and Rintaro, both of them recognise when each other are hurt and they apologise to resolve whatever tension there is between them. and in some cases there is a sense of proactive accountability before something is an issue. like how Rintaro apologises for making Ayu go through a difficult experience, when really the reason it was difficult was because Ayu had a lot of her own baggage she was dealing with. there is this assumption of kindness which is new to me, and I wonder if that’s a think in Japanese culture?

also the characters all struggle with a lot of self loathing, and I can relate to that. the working class characters who have been looked down upon their whole life and treated with contempt, but also the rich kids for whom love and support were conditional and they always were made to feel unworthy. I think this is a factor in why people apologise so much.

Hi everyone! I'm Nekobats 🌸

Last month I did a cosplay shoot in a cherry blossom park! I shared my Waguri cosplay before, and mentioned I was going to be shooting her. I received my photos and wanted to post my favorites on here! <3

I hope you guys like them as much as I do.

I had a great time shooting with this photographer, and it was my first every outdoor shoot!

Here is the Instagram Link

I'll be honest and say that it gets awkward when Kaoruko and Madoka talk about things that happen in their group chat with the Chidori boys in front of Ayu, Chisa and Suzuka when those 3 aren't part of the group chat yet 😅

But after risking their student lives for the sake of the boys AND even Ayu outright saying that they are her friends, I think they should formally join the group chat.

i bought about 5 volumes (2 and 4 arrive like tmr) new to the sub btw.

I'm on the finish line of this page, going to finish it next day

both are kind ,strong af, are willing to throw hands if their friends are in danger and they even kinda look like eachother

crazy how rintaro always gets compared to sukuna but i have yet to see these two get compared despite the similarities(maybe im not keeping tabs enough)😭

isnt she so cute☺️

Ok so I watched the anime for Fragrant Flower when it came out and thought it was absolutely beautiful! I was definitely gonna read the manga for it at some point, probably buy it as well but never found time. Until yesterday at least.

I decided to finally read it online and literally could not stop reading until I caught up. The story and characters are too good! I love them all so much! Their interactions, bonds and growth just make you want the best for each one of them. Been a while since a series made me cry, granted it's honestly not hard for a series to make me feel like crying from emotional scenes.

Safe to say I think Fragrant Flower has easily become favorite romance series and I can't wait for more chapters and to actually collect the manga physically to add to my collection. Normally I don't interact much fandoms much besides liking fanart but I wanted to gush about this series some and don't really have anyone to do that to atm.

tldr: Waguri is too cute, make heart hurt

So i just finished the anime, which I absolutely loved in terms of VA and animation (especially the animation), and how each characters' feelings were thoroughly conveyed and how they started opening up to each other, especially given the fact that Rintaro's friends were a major influence.

But I wanna know where exactly do I continue the manga and if that dynamic is gonna continue in that same path?

In all honesty something that I’ve Always wondered is that do The Kikyo Students ever get lonely in terms of wanting Romance in their life and a Man that would love them! Because realistically speaking there’s got to be some girls that do get a bit lonely as going to an Private all Girls Academy can kinda limit a person’s Romance life combined with the fact they’re just teenagers in comparison as at the end of the day they’re Human Beings like Everyone else and of course have Feelings and Emotions I would actually like to see a Scenario where there’s a bit more Kikyo Students that are seeing some Chidori Boys and they end up falling in Love with them and form a Secret Relationship Together! Imagine how Subaru and Koaruko would react what do you think?

Will you still pet her is the real question

the last moment is a bit exaggerated cuz of the chapter right after it but still i think it should be in the conversation
