Flower and Asura episode 4: A brief recap
Flower and Asura episode 4 opens with Hana practicing her vocal exercises under Mizuki's guidance. Later, An advises Hana against selecting classical literature for the NHK contest, stating that it makes winning more challenging. Though Hana has yet to decide what to read, An's reasoning leaves her deep in thought.
The following day, Hana joins the senior club members for lunch, where they discuss how to choose material for the competition. Mizuki later pulls Hana into her first experience as an anchor during the school's radio broadcast.
Despite her struggles to improvise and unimpressive performance, the senior members reassure her to keep practicing and not give up. Afterward, during a conversation with Miiko, Hana receives suggestions that may help improve her on-air presence.
Determined to try again, the next day, she chats with Ryoko before the broadcast, and they bond over Ryoko's love for classical literature. Ryoko invites Hana to join her for the next broadcast, promising to stick to the script and guide her gently. Hana agrees, but once on air, Ryoko deviates from the script.
While initially thrown off, Hana eventually gains confidence, with her earlier bonding with Ryoko and Miiko seemingly playing a significant role in her progress. While Hana's broadcast is well-received, An appears visibly annoyed after listening to it, leaving the episode on a heartfelt yet tense note.
