The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity is cute but also funny in a bad way sometimes like bro Rintaro gets insulted treated like trash bcs “delinquent school” and he just stands there like 🙂 dignity 🙂 no anger no clapback nothing ., Kaoruko hears her elite school friends talk **** about his school and instead of actual conflict it’s just sad eyes soft voice “pls don’t say that” ahh moment ., and then the whole school rivalry thing is so forced like elite school = evil rumors and poor school = misunderstood angels ., zero real tension ., everyone resolves stuff by being polite and emotionally woke at age 16 ., and don’t get me started on readers going “I wanna protect her” “men should be like him” bro relax this isn’t real life this is sanitized romance ., no one ever snaps no one says the wrong thing no one acts petty ., dignity here just means swallow everything quietly and smile ., comforting yes but also corny as **** when you think abt it .
