Frisian W 6d This whole series is just people apologizing to each other. Very overly emotional apologies that is. I am hardly exaggerating, it happens about 6 times every episode I think. I can't tell if its a parody or true Japanese culture. But this is a very emo show to me. And the guy seems like 20 and the girl like 13. The size difference is visually setting the series apart, I get it, but it doesn't help that the girl talks and sometimes acts like a little kid. The over the top emotions are somehow part of the charm and it is a great looking show with good characters. But also full of cringe moments. Watching this anime was a weird experience to me. See more Jackson M @Nshvlleindie Feb 5 It will grow on you. Full disclosure the story is unique in that it doesn't involve typical rising action-climax structures, but it very much possesses a lovely and satisfying plot. This may not be everyone's preference but rest assured Fragrant Flower will completely punctuate your day with bliss. Excellent character development that many hollywood writers envy.
