The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity (Kaoru Hana wa Rin to Saku) is a manga series written and illustrated by Saka Mikami. It began serialization on Kodansha’s Magazine Pocket manga website and app in October 2021. Kodansha is publishing the manga, and they describe 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?
