The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhgfgfffh so cute

Not my cup of tea personally. I’d prefer more time between just the two main people as opposed to 6 people being together loads. I’d have preferred maybe only 1 or 2 friends for the ML so it feels less crowded

This looked pretty vanilla at first but in the end, I rather like it, essentially thanks to the characters. They're all a bit too nice to be honest but I'm OK with that for now, I enjoy the ride.
Thanks to the translator who's doing a great job to catch up with the raws.

the level of maturity and communication between all of the characters makes this a wonderfully relaxing read. i was really pleasantly surprised—a lot of times when shoujos introduce threads of drama, i feel a sense of unease and dread, because you think it'll blow up, right? but that is not the case with this series; drama gets handled so smoothly that now 50 chapters in when trouble arises, i instead have full faith in the cast to be able to take it on without the conflict blowing up. the main cast is pleasantly transparent, sincere, and trusting with each other, so much so it makes me think of my own close, longstanding friendships. that's how compelling and strong i feel the cast's friendship is.

the manga puts less focus on the two leads and more focus on how the people around them react to their growing relationship, which is rather rare for romance manga. this sort of narrative may not be what people are looking for in romance manga, but i find it refreshing and reassuring. it's wonderfully reflective of healthy relationships in real life, be it romantic, platonic, or familial—real life relationships don't just revolve around one's special someone, so seeing the two leads have a healthy support network of friends just as important as their partners is really refreshing.

if you are looking for a high-stakes narrative, a rollercoaster of emotions, or tooth-rotting fluffy interactions between the main leads, this manga probably isn't for you. ah, i guess slice of life is in the tags, so the first few might be a given. i think those who are looking for a drama-light narrative about a cast of kids growing and developing as people will find enjoyment in this manga.

At the time of reading, chapter 58 is the most recent. And holy sh!t is that how you do a cliffhanger. I NEED THE NEXT CHAPTER!!!!

I think this manga deserves its high score for what it is. Its a bit of a simple premise but it does all the things right, with good pacing, no dumb conflict/drama, being mature about it and wholesome. The integration of the friendship and romance is beautiful, shows that there's more to both leads' lives and really helps flesh them out and make them well rounded characters. In a time where there are so many titles trying to be quirky or fail to nail the basics despite an interesting premise, this is very refreshing.

Finally made some time to read this series and gotta say it's been one of the best reads in a long time, there's nothing I dislike about this series!!
This and <You and I Are Polar Opposites> have been just pure joy and fluff to read through.

Incredibly heartwarming to the point where I feel an immense longing for companionship in these dark times. I'm grateful that this was recommended to me and I look forward to more. 10/10 Read it. Though I guess listening to Kudasai on loop while reading this may have affected my feelings lol.

I love this manga sm, amazing artstyle, the romance is done insanely well, love the characters and we’re finally starting to tackle the main conflict which I’m excited to see how it’s resolved

 

[Very_Cool_Guy]

A romance manga about a cute short girl who likes to eat, and a guy named Rintaro. I feel like I've read that before, but I can't remember what it's called.

 

[lewd]

This manga is like a fantasy of a perfect life, everyone is happy and understanding and communicates their feelings. There's never any struggle or misunderstandings that can't be overcome in a short discussion. It makes me feel like a demon staring at a cross, it's too pure for this world.

I only recently found this manga and I’ve caught before I knew it. My first impression was “how could this be at the top of the romance category on MangaDex?” Upon reading however, I learned why. It‘s start is kinda the generic RomCom tough/scary looking dude who's actually soft on the inside. As I read along though, I began to really grow attachment for Rintaro and all of the characters introduced. How the author portrays one’s innermost thoughts is honestly really amazing. Each character feels so relatable and human and I honestly could go on forever gushing about this series. While this may not be everyone’s favorite manga it certainly has become mine and I hope that this message pushes people to give it a read as well.

Apparently, the manga got licensed by Kodansha and will appear on their app. No indication if it’ll be simulpub.

 

[kuroneko1881]

well, hopefully kodansha push their apps to other region, because i cant read without a vpn 😭

also thanks to scanlation for translating this manga thou

 

[ARRR]

cute manga, but too chummy for my tastes, 90% of the content is people apologizing. If someone is looking for something wholesome i guess it's good, but for me it lacks comedy or drama that would make it interesting.

 

[mxhehe]

i get why this is rated so well, nice read

It's sooo good! All the characters are so emotionally mature, such a nice change of pace from the usual high school romance/slice of life!
