The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity (Japanese: 薫る花は凛と咲く, Hepburn: Kaoru Hana wa Rin to Saku) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Saka Mikami. It has been serialized on Kodansha's Magazine Pocket website and app since October 2021, and its chapters have been collected into 22 tankōbon volumes as of March 2026. The story follows a boy attending a delinquent-populated public high school in Minato, Tokyo who encounters a small-statured girl from an elite, all-female private academy attended by members of noble families.
An anime television adaptation produced by CloverWorks aired from July to September 2025. Both the manga and anime have received widespread critical acclaim, particularly for their writing, characters, art style, voice performances, and emotional portrayal.
By December 2025, the series had over 10 million copies in circulation.
