Teenage romance, magic, and urban fantasy blended well together in Lan Mo De Hua or simply known as Lan Mo’s Flower, a Chinese anime that first aired in 2018 from Colored-Pencil Animation. It was one of my earliest Chinese romance anime, while I think it’s not the best, it prepared me a lot on what should I expect from the romance genre in donghua. It has been a fun ride, and my youthful heart had enjoyed the little things in its story, the message it tries to deliver, and the adorable moments between the characters. It was romantic and I think many of us can relate to the story in one way or another, especially those who had an exciting love story from their teenage years.
Synopsis
Ordinary girl Lan Mo once got a headdress flower that could transform her into a dream girl. She uses this image to chase her childhood sweetheart, Liu Yi Feng. The story that happens between them is sweet and touching, however, every wish has a price to pay.
Lan Mo De Hua was released on July 13, 2017, until August 14, 2017, with a total of 9 episodes with a 15-minute length each. The anime is also known as Blue Flower, A Wonderful Flower, but to many non-Chinese fans, it’s known as Lan Mo’s Flower.
I know that I am not the only one whose interest in Chinese animation had been further inspired by Lan Mo De Hua, so I would like to share a list of Chinese anime like Lan Mo De Hua that fellow viewers and fans can check to further expand their horizon on the Chinese anime romance genre and cliche.
