The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity or Kaoru Hana wa Rin to Saku Chapter 71 was released on May 11, 2023, and surprised everyone with yet another backstory from the side characters. The manga took a step away from Kaoruko and Rintaro and explored the past of Rintaro’s friend Natsusawa. This flashback came after the backstory of Ayu Sawatari when she tried to apologise to everyone for the things she did. Natsusawa’s story seems to have worked as the last chapter ended with Ayu having a smile on her face.
The friendly lunch in The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity has been going on for many chapters now as every chapter brings forth new stories as everyone reveals their insecurities and failures to everyone. This might be a letdown for some fans as the manga has been nothing but thanks and apologies for several chapters now but they should know that this is the true essence of The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity. With the next chapter releasing soon, we can finally hope for some progress in the plot so stay tuned!
The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity Chapter 71 “Natsusawa’s Past”: Recap
The chapter opens up with Natsusawa telling everyone that if he got a chance to meet his past self, he would probably punch him and stop him that day when he hurt the only person who came close to him without knowing anything all the while hurting his pathetic self too. The flashback begins, Natsusawa ends up with a strange guy(later revealed to be Rintaro) in his third year of high school who came up to him and challenged him for a match at the upcoming mid-term exam.
Natsusawa was a student who got first place during every exam in his first and second years which made Rintaro the eternal second place as he always lost against Natsusawa. Rintaro was a person who loved to study, even in his free time one can find him working on something at his desk. During the class, he always gave all the answers to the teacher’s questions as if he had some goal to accomplish and he even helped others study too.
Natsusawa says that he wasn’t surprised when Rintaro set his eyes on him as they were already destined to cross paths but things got even more intense when both of them decided to go to the same high school. They were never friends but still, Rintaro never judged Natsusawa or treat him like a different person from all the other people, instead he only worked towards achieving his own goal of beating Natsusawa in the upcoming exams. Natsusawa felt relaxed being in Rintaro’s company as he was different from everyone until one day.
Natsusawa forgot his earphones in the classroom and so he went back to get them but he found Rintaro sitting there. Rintaro says that he has some extra time so he decided to study when he accidentally drops a piece of paper. Natsusawa picks up the paper and finds that it’s a mark sheet with a C grade. He gets worried about Rintaro as he never got anything lower than a B grade and so he asks him to take it easy for a while. Rintaro asks Natsusawa to stop talking as if he understands what he’s going through.
Natsusawa asks Rintaro if he loved studying and then what happened. Rintaro replies that someone like Natsusawa can ace any exam without even studying and get accepted anywhere easily but he’s someone who only faces disappointment and defeats no matter how hard he tries which is the reason a genius like Natsusawa will never understand how he feels.
Natsusawa feels that Rintaro wasn’t any different from others and so he walks away. They both go their separate ways and stop talking to each other but one day Natsusawa learns of how Rintaro suffered in his past when he overhears some students laughing at him and he feels guilty and ashamed for his actions.
