A manga for the franchise titled Hana-Doll*~Flowering~ Boys were still in a dream ran in Kodansha’s Shonen Magazine Edge from November 17, 2020 to October 15, 2021.
The Reinterpretation of Flowering anime series is described as a “2.5D idol project” that follows a special program called the “Flower Doll Project.” It exists to artificially create the most perfect idols by implanting special flower seeds inside their bodies. The franchise follows the growth of young men who dedicate their lives to musical performance.
