The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity 9

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 quench the fire of pernicious rage… Rintaro and Kaoruko reach an important relationship milestone when Rintaro formally introduces himself to her mother and brother. However, before they can make another leap forward, Kaoruko’s friends from Kikyo discover them mid-date. At school, Subaru tries to ease the other girls’ minds about their Chidori friends, even suggesting they meet the boys for themselves. Rintaro wants to offer his support, too, and comes up with a very visible way to show it…
