A Stellar Creative Team
The anime benefits from a powerhouse of creativity guiding it behind the scenes.

Adding to the magic, music composition duties are expertly handled by Masaru Yokoyama. To top it off, SHISHAMO kicks things off with the vibrant opening theme "Jibun Kakumei" (My Own Revolution), while Satō serenades us with the closing notes of "Rōrō" (Resonant).
Immersing in Island Life
Set against the serene backdrop of Tonakishima, a quaint island of 600 residents, ‘Flower and Asura’ weaves a tale of discovery and connection. At its core is Hana, a high school student with an infectious love for recitals. Her passion captures the attention of Mizuki, president of the Broadcasting Club, who sees Hana’s innate talent for drawing people into stories. As Hana joins the club, she navigates uncharted territories with her peers, bringing a sense of wonder and adventure to the narrative.
The manga serialization of this enchanting story began in June 2021 in Shueisha’s Ultra Jump magazine. With its inaugural volume released in January 2022, the eighth installment recently hit shelves on January 17.
