April Showers Bring May Flowers (also titled A Bouquet for an Ugly Girl) is a rom-com series centered around Hana Tabata, who is known for her unpleasant looks. Despite her name's meaning ('Hana' translates to 'flowers' in Japanese), Hana's appearance contradicts flowers in every way.

However, this doesn't stop her from dreaming about a charming prince who would save her from this cruel world. One day, Hana encounters Yousuke Ueno, a classmate known to be both beautiful and kind. As brief as their conversation might be, it makes Hana think about Yousuke's reason for talking to her, sprouting the flower of love in the female protagonist's heart.
