AMC Network’s HIDIVE streaming service will stream the slice-of-life drama “Flowers and Asura” exclusively in North America, the U.K., Ireland, Australia and New Zealand as part of its slate of Winter 2025 simulcasts next year.
The series is adapted from the popular manga by Ayano Takeda, the novelist known for her signature work “Sound! Euphonium.”
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.
