April Showers Bring May Flowers

TV Show · Anime · Animation

Fifteen-year-old high schooler Hana Tabata loves shoujo manga, flowers, and everything cute – but she's already given up on the idea of a fairytale high school romance, believing that she's too ugly to ever be the main character. However, she gets the teenage meet-cute she never saw coming when her kind, handsome classmate Yousuke Ueno happens to run into her early in the morning as she's replacing the flowers in their classroom. Yousuke had always wondered who changed the flower arrangements, and begins pursuing a closer friendship with Hana after learning that it's her. Their budding relationship isn't without its challenges, though, as Hana must overcome deep insecurities about her self-worth and Yousuke learns that love isn't as simple as just having feelings for someone. Will this young romance grow into something long-lasting, or is it meant to just be a youthful memory?
