Summer 2025’s Biggest Anime Hit With Surprise Delay on Netflix

The Summer 2025 anime lineup is gaining momentum, however, one highly anticipated new series on Netflix has faced an unexpected postponement before its premiere. This season promises to introduce viewers to fresh anime titles over the coming months. The schedule boasts not just the return of fan favorites, but also several eagerly awaited adaptations. Regrettably, it seems that one of these upcoming anime will have a slight delay despite already airing episodes in Japan.

In Japan, the anime adaption of Saka Mikami’s The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity is currently airing its latest episodes as part of the Summer 2025 anime season. However, viewers in North America will have to wait a bit longer for these new episodes. At Anime Expo 2025, Netflix announced that The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity will debut in North America starting on September 7th. The silver lining is that even with this delay, English dubbed versions of the new episodes will be accessible for viewing.

What Happened to The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity Episodes?

Starting September 7th, Netflix will make “The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity” available for streaming across North America. Each episode will be released weekly, and viewers can choose between Japanese and English audio versions, making it convenient for both the original language enthusiasts and those who prefer dubbed anime releases on Netflix. Interestingly, about 80-90% of Netflix’s current audience watches dubbed anime content. Although there’s a slight delay in the release schedule, fans can rest assured that they won’t have to wait long.

As an ardent fan, I’m excited about the upcoming Summer airing of these new episodes in Japan, but it seems that us stateside fans will have to wait until later this year to legally stream the series. This delay may affect discussions around the show as it unfolds, given its current popularity alongside other Summer releases like “Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus” and “My Dress-Up Darling” Season 2 from CloverWorks. However, there’s plenty to look forward to, as we’ll be able to join in the weekly releases come Fall!

What Is The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity?

As an observer, I’m sharing that “The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity,” initially penned by Saka Mikami for Kodansha’s Magazine Pocket, is now being directed by Miyuki Kuroki at studio CloverWorks. Rino Yamazaki is handling the scripting duties, Kohei Tokuoka is designing the characters, and Moeki Harada will be responsible for the music composition. The opening theme song is called “Manazashi wa Hikari,” sung by Tatsuya Kitani, while the ending theme song goes by “Hare no Hi ni” and is performed by UshioReira.

In the voiceover lineup, you’ll find Yoshinori Nakayama portraying Rintaro Tsumugi, Honoka Inoue playing Kaoroko Waguri, Kikunosuke Toya as Shohei Usami, Koki Uchiyama as Saku Natsusawa, Hiiro Ishibashi as Ayato Yorita, and Aya Yamane as Subaru Hoshina. For now, fans must stay patient until September this year to witness the new romance anime for themselves, where a tough guy and a sweet girl will uncover their unexpected shared interests.
