A new slice-of-life anime is joining the lineup over at HIDIVE for Winter 2025! HIDIVE announced on December 10 that they will stream the anime adaptation of Flower and Asura for the Winter 2025 season. The manga is from Ayano Takeda, who is known for Sound! Euphorium.
On the picturesque island of Tonakijima with a population of only 600, Hana’s favorite pastime is reading literature to the island’s children. Her narration skills are second to none, and Mizuki, the president of the school’s broadcasting club immediately recognizes Hana’s ability to engage with others and draw them into her recitations. Invited by Mizuki to join the club, Hana embarks on a journey to discover her true love of reading — and maybe even change the course of her life along the way.
Official Synopsis
The manga is illustrated by Musshu (There’s No Freaking Way I’ll be Your Lover! Unless…) and debuted in Shueisha’s Ultra Jump in 2021. It is still ongoing, with 7 volumes. It is not yet licensed in the United States.
