"The Promised Flower Blooms With Diginity" seems to start as your typical romance high-school manga. The idea about 'two schools fighting and not really getting along' may just sound cliché and overused. And it may just be. But don't get trick into thinking that that's what this series is about, 'cause it's really not.
Instead, "The Promised Flower Blooms With Diginity" speaks about the importance of being true to one's self, of being able to rely on those around you, and the so-very forgotten importance of getting to love yourself as much as you love those who you care about.
The intrinsic positivity displayed all thorughout the chapters and that always gets poured out in the interactions between the characters make reading this an incredible heart-warming, unique experience. 'Cause we all like our drama, we all are into our really spicy cliché romance stories with toxic traits and annoying characters, but sometimes we forget about how impactful the portrait of happiness can also be. And I think that's exactly what this manga speaks for.
Because "The Promised Flower Blooms With Diginity" does not speak just for its romance, which also does, and in a really refreshing way, that is. This series dugs into what being young really is about. The relevance of not being afraid of thinking that we can also be a part of someone else's happinnes and the importance of cherishing what makes us happy as well. Characters like Rintarou or Subaru really portrait this in a beautiful way. And that's probably what's made me cried so much.
Maybe that's just the reason why I feel this manga is made just for me. And that's why I think this manga might be made just for you as well, especially if you're still young and able to appreciate those friendships you've formed throughout the years.
And even if you don't feel what I did reading this, I think it's still a very impactful experience you might want to give a go. I'm sure that, one way or another, you'll be able to find a part of yourself hidden between those pages. Even if it's about the you you are now, or that you you left a while ago; your young self which still lies deep within you, along with its many regrets and memories.
'Cause, in the end, interpretations about the same story may differ a lot, but I think we can all agree in one thing: "The Promised Flower Blooms With Diginity" speaks beauty and love in a way not many other manga are able to replicate. Just read it, guys. You won't regret it.
And for those of you who have been able to make it this far down, I'll tell you the most important thing I got out of reading this story, and something I probably won't ever forget:
"Cherish those fond memories, so even when the world seems to be falling apart you'll be able to remember those moments that made you realize how much you love being alive and how much you love those who care about you. Because they exist, they're there for you, and sometimes you're also the reason behind their smiles; even when you can't get yourself to believe something like that. Don't forget it: You deserve to be happy as well."
