The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity 11

By Saka Mikami

Two rival schools stand next door to each other: one for elite ladies, one for good-for-nothing boys. But one of those boys might just be a naturally chivalrous diamond in the rough, and one of those girls might be a little more open-minded than is proper...

This cute and twisty manga spin on Romeo and Juliet is the latest hit in Japan, coming to print from a successful digital-first release

To be as far as the vast shore with the farthest sea...

While Kaoruko formally introduces herself as Rintaro's girlfriend to his parents, the Chidori boys, Subaru, and Madoka enjoy a day out together at the arcade--a vision of friendship beyond schools. The seasons change, and with cooler temperatures comes a highly-anticipated school event: the overnight field trip Chidori and Kikyo may be visiting different places, but is that enough to stop Kaoruko and Rintaro from sharing new experiences with each other?
