We fans were instantly drawn to The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity. Every week, we waited for the next episode. Now that the anime ended with 13 episodes on September 28, 2025, everyone is waiting for news about the sequel.

Season 1 has finished its broadcast run in Japan. Netflix’s global release began on September 7, 2025, with a two-episode drop and weekly after. With 13 episodes, it adapted the opening part of the manga and stopped at a perfect pause. Now the biggest question is when The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity Season 2 will come out?

When Will The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity Season 2 Come Out?

As of now, there is no official renewal or release date for The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity Season 2. The anime’s official site and social pages have not posted any sequel news. Season 1 aired in Japan from July 6, 2025 (JST) to September 28, 2025 (JST) as a single cour with 13 episodes in total.

Based on anime production timelines and CloverWorks’ past patterns, the most realistic prediction for Season 2 would be around mid to late 2027. Well, with the condition that a renewal is announced soon. Sequels are usually greenlit after Blu-ray sales and manga performance are reviewed. Blu-ray will run until early 2026. So fans can expect an update within the next year if the project moves forward.

What Will Season 2 of The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity Cover From the Manga?

Season 1 adapts approximately Chapters 1–37 (Volumes 1–5). For reference, Episode 11 features Kaoruko’s birthday (covered in Vol 5), and the Episode 12–13 arc is the beach confession → summer festival stretch that lines up with Vol 5 (around Ch 33–37). This is the natural stopping point that the anime used.

Volume 6 – Confession and Aftermath

Volume 6 (chapters 38–45) is where things take a major turn. Here, the long buildup finally reaches a confession, leading into the start of a dating relationship. The story does not stop there. It follows the immediate aftermath and shows how friends around them react to the change. It mixes fun with emotional honesty, making it one of the most exciting arcs for fans waiting on Season 2.

Volume 7 (Ch 46–53) – Daily Life and Growth

This block follows the group right after summer and opens with Saku Natsusawa’s birthday. Rintaro hand-bakes a cake for the party, and we meet Mio Natsusawa as the family’s focus deepens. The next chapters track Saku and Subaru patching things up and the boys’ circle growing closer (titles like “Beginnings of Friendship,” “Friends,” “Grateful” make that clear). We also get Kaoruko’s part-time job subplot (“Waguri-san’s Part-Time Job”) and a closing beat on judging character (“A Good Person”).

Volume 8 (Ch 54–61) – Family Visits and New Challenges

This volume begins with “The Cake Reward”, where Rintaro thanks Kaoruko with a date and a homemade cake. Soon after, we see Rintaro’s first visit to the Waguri home, leading to chapters on Waguri family life and the introduction of Kosuke Waguri. The middle chapters focus on how their new relationship is judged and verified, followed by small encounters that push side characters forward.

Toward the end, the spotlight shifts to Kikyo and Chidori, and the arc closes with “Fantasy and Reality”, contrasting ideal romance with everyday truth. The volume also includes a siblings bonus story and profile pages for Fuko and Kosuke, expanding the supporting cast.

Volume 9 (Ch 62–69 + Extra 64.5) – Public Exposure and School Tensions

This volume brings the first signs of conflict after the confession arc. Rintaro and Kaoruko’s date is noticed by classmates, which sparks gossip and pressure from Kikyo students. Rintaro meets Kaoruko’s family, while Subaru tries to ease the rift between Kikyo and Chidori circles.

If season 2 continues as a single cour, volume 9 would be the cleanest stopping point. A 13-episode run can neatly adapt Volume 6-9 without rushing. If the producers decide on a longer season, they might push into Volume 10, but the natural break at Chapter 69 feels the most likely.

Which Studio and Staff Are Making Season 2?

At this stage, there is no official staff or studio listing for Season 2, since renewal has not been announced. However, looking at how Season 1 was made, it is reasonable to expect CloverWorks to return if a sequel is confirmed. The anime is listed on CloverWorks’ official WORKS page under its 2025 TV projects, showing that the studio holds the title in its current slate.

Season 1 Creative Team

• Miyuki Kuroki – Director
• Satoshi Yamaguchi – Assistant Director
• Rino Yamazaki – Series Composition
• Haruka Tsuzuki – Series Director
• Kohei Tokuoka – Character Designer and Chief Animation Director
• Moeki Harada – Music Composer

On the technical side, Takayuki Hamano directed the sound with Magic Capsule producing. Photography was done by Yukiko Nagase, and editing by Kazuhiro Nii. Distribution in Japan was handled under the Aniplex umbrella, while Netflix streamed it worldwide.

If Season 2 moves forward, it would make sense for the same core team to continue, since their work has been praised by both Japanese and international fans. Still, until official confirmation comes from CloverWorks or Aniplex, we can only treat this as an expectation, not a guarantee.

Where Can You Watch The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity Season 2?

There is no streaming or TV listing for a second season yet. But Season 1 gives us a clear picture of how a future season would be released.

In Japan, Season 1 aired on Tokyo MX, BS11, and other networks from July 2025. At the same time, Netflix Japan streamed episodes weekly in sync with TV. For international fans, the show was licensed as a Netflix exclusive, but with a delay. The wider rollout started on September 7, 2025, with two episodes on day one and then one episode weekly.

If Season 2 is confirmed, this distribution method is the most likely again: weekly TV and streaming in Japan, followed by a Netflix global launch.

In the End

The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity became a fan favorite with just it’s first season. That explains why this anime is good and deserves a season 2. It felt refreshing, with scenes that reminded fans of small real-life moments. Fans could relate studying together, hanging out at festivals, or sharing honest feelings.

Season 1 left us with a clean stopping point but also with the promise of bigger changes to come. That is why fans are already waiting for news of a sequel. The summer arcs, the confession, and the new relationship phase are things everyone wants to see animated.
