Only the Flower Knows

A brief, three-issue romance from Tokyopop's 2012–2013 lineup, Only the Flower Knows tells a quiet story of two college students navigating the unspoken tensions in their friendship. The series is best known for the delicate, emotionally restrained art of its creator, who uses floral imagery as a central metaphor for the characters' hidden feelings. Though short, it remains a fondly remembered example of the publisher's early-2010s foray into original English-language shojo-inspired comics.
