Release Date for Season 2 

Till now, neither Netflix nor CloverWorks, its studio, has made any official statement on the release of The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity Season 2. As of now, we can’t confirm the information. 

We should wait a little longer for the update, as Netflix follows an algorithm and will decide according to the final result. The update related to the sequel depends mostly on the audience reviews and engagement. But if it follows the story of the novel with the same name, then season 2 will definitely be back. 

However, all signs point towards a renewal very soon:

The show performed strongly in Japan during its TV broadcast.

Online reactions on social platforms, especially X and Reddit, show high demand for Season 2.

The manga has over 160 chapters, meaning there is more than enough material left to adapt.

CloverWorks generally takes 18–24 months to produce another course for romance titles.

What Will Season 2 Cover?

Season 1 adapted around Chapters 1–37, ending at a perfect emotional pause.

If Season 2 follows the same pace:

The new season is expected to cover 6 to 9 volumes.

According to the novel’s story, it should be focused on the confession arc.

The relationship phase between Rintaro and Kaoruko will be shown.

It can emphasize the tension growing between the schools.

If the new season is released, it will bring a new and more interesting story. The uncovered volumes of the book have more emotion, romantic moments, and family issues to see.
