Kyoko and Keiichiro’s story in The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity

Kyoko and Keiichiro originally met by sheer coincidence when she stumbled into him baking cakes while searching for her Economics teacher to submit her homework. She was soon approached by Keiichiro, who coldly asked her why she had come to the room. After learning the reason, Keiichiro agreed to hand in her homework to the teacher and immediately closed and locked the door behind him.

This left a poor impression on Kyoko, who found him to be rude. Nevertheless, when she later went to thank Keiichiro for his help, he convinced her to assist him with his cakes as a taste tester. Though unsure of what his intentions were, Kyoko tasted his desserts and honestly shared her thoughts on how normal they tasted. Expecting Keiichiro to be offended, she was surprised to see him smiling and grateful for the feedback.

The two continued spending time over the following days, during which Kyoko figured out how dense and introverted Keiichiro was, even as she grew closer to him. Inspired by his efforts, Kyoko also tried to do her best in volleyball but ultimately lost her tournament. Feeling a sense of inferiority, Kyoko put up a front and told Keiichiro she couldn't taste his cakes anymore due to club work.

Keiichiro accepted her decision but asked Kyoko to taste his cakes one last time. She agreed and started bursting into tears upon taking a bite. While Kyoko had previously found Keiichiro's desserts to be hostile, they had become calming and delicious. Her fondness for the cakes gradually turned into affection for the baker himself, and she soon found herself blushing in the presence of Keiichiro.

Keiichiro, for his part, could not properly understand his feelings but knew that he wanted to get closer to Kyoko and cheer her up. Although he initially didn't grasp his father's advice to socialize more to improve his skills, Kyoko had become an important part of his life, giving him comfort alongside his passion for baking.

Though the two continued their bond while suppressing their feelings, Kyoko took the first big step after Keiichiro's graduation by asking him to go out together somewhere. While she wasn't expecting a positive response, Keiichiro immediately agreed.

While The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity manga has only covered their relationship up to this point, the coming chapters are sure to reveal how these two characters, despite their opposing personalities, came to have a positive influence on each other, eventually marrying and having two children.
