The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity Vol. 05

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!

Capulet & Montague, Chidori & Kikyo

After spending so much time together, Rintaro has begun to suspect he may like Kaoruko as more than a friend. But just as the school term was drawing to a close and Rintaro began looking forward to spending his first summer vacation with all his friends, Subaru springs a surprise on him: Kaoruko’s birthday is only a few weeks away! So now, after agonizing over what to get her, he finally decides to bake her a cake with his own two hands. Will the effort and devotion he’s putting into his cake be able to touch Kaoruko’s heart…?
