Anime streaming service HIDIVE has added another series to its winter 2025 schedule.

Announced today, Flower and Asura will be headed to the service in the following season in North America, UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. The show is an adaptation of Ayano Takeda’s manga of the same name. The Japanese voice cast includes Minori Fujidera as Hana, Miyuri Shimabukuro as Mizuki, Fuka Izumi as Anne, Shoya Chiba as Shudai, Seiichiro Yamashita as Matsuyuki, Kiyono Yasuno as Ryoko, and Taito Ban as Setaro. The anime was produced by Studio Bind (Mushoku Tensei, Onimai: I'm Now Your Sister!) with Ayumu Uwano (Edomae Elf, Lapis Re:LiGHTs) as its director.

John Ledford, President of HIDIVE said this about the show:

“We’re excited to add Flower and Asura to our exclusive line-up of Winter 2025 simulcast series. This new slice of life drama based on a work of Ayano Takeda, beloved creator of Sound! Euphonium, will be a heart-warming celebration of friendship and fans will not want to miss a single episode of Flower and Asura!”

A synopsis for the anime reads:

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.
