From It's Dinky
In The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity, the long-standing animosity between Chidori and Kikyo schools originates from a tragic incident a decade prior, involving a Kikyo student and possibly a Chidori boy. Flashbacks show Kikyo teacher Toki-sensei's deep personal connection to this past event, fueling her prejudice and suggesting a possible institutional cover-up by Kikyo. This history is now impacting the present, putting the main couple's relationship at risk and forcing the younger generation to uncover the truth to move forward.
