posted on by Joanna Cayanan
Amazon Prime Video in North America is now streaming all 13 episodes of the anime adaptation of Roku Sakura's April Showers Bring May Flowers (Busu ni Hanataba o) manga.
The anime premiered in Japan in July 2025.
The anime stars:
- Saori Hayami as Hana Tabata
- Shimba Tsuchiya as Yosuke Ueno
- Yoshino Aoyama as Sumire Uguisudani
- Yoshimasa Hosoya as Tetsuo Gotanda
Sakura launched the manga in Kadokawa's Monthly Young Ace magazine in April 2016, and ended it in September 2022. Kadokawa published the manga's 12th and final compiled book volume in November 2022.
Yen Press is publishing the manga in English, and it describes the series:
Pessimistic high school student Hana Tabata doesn't believe her life could ever be like that of a heroine from the shoujo manga she reads—she's convinced she's ugly, and she's always alone. Still, she can't help but imagine herself as a leading lady when she's changing out flowers early one morning...until she's caught in the act by her handsome classmate Yousuke Ueno! Hana can't wrap her head around his kind words at first, but as they grow closer, she finds her life slowly beginning to change…
Sakura launched a new "special edition" series for the manga in Monthly Young Ace in March 2025. While the series had ended in its fifth chapter on July 4, the series received extra chapters starting on August 4, and the final chapter was published on September 4.
