Once again, great episode (never get tired of saying this about this anime =P).
Loved the beggining of the episode. The part with Mayama and Yamada's father was really funny xD
Also, I found the ending to be pretty touching.

Yamada's father bashing Mayama was funny as. 38,000 Yen worth of damage XD
Didn't expect Hagumi to decide and stay.

Hagu should wear her hair down more often. This series has a certain charm to it that makes me want to keep watching the next episode, one after the other. It's nicely paced and the music is lovely. The characters are all warm and entertaining to watch, hell even Hagu whom I dislike wasn't that bad this time.

<3 the clover scene.

I loved episode seven, particularly when all four characters escaped, though for a brief moment, from their individual problems. Also the scene where Hagu was tearing up in front of Shuuji, and depended his well-being and success on finding that four leaf clover, almost had me in tears.

Actually, that clover scene was pretty similar to an afternoon I spent with my friends before we all went to different colleges (we were searching for lost keys XD), so this episode has a pretty strong resonance with me. The ending was especially touching :-D

What an amazing and strong episode!

It makes you feel the saddest emotions inside at the same time, provides a beautiful feeling of happiness.

The beginning part was hilarious. XD
And again, it must be painful for Rika.

"There's a wad of money inside my pocket! ~
Really.. If you tap it, the wad of bills will become two. ~"

HILARIOUS!! Morita strikes again. :D

Aw, I wish they found one. Why does Shuu have to go? :(

So Mayama isn't planning to give up. But I think Shuu suits Rika better.

Takemoto still feels like a junior with Morita (and I’ll bet everyone else) around even though he’ll be a third year soon. That’s gotta come with its own problems.

Mayama does work at that company now and pretty hard by the looks of it. He also decides to leave Rika but not without that promise to return. Rika lost Hanamoto sensei too since he’s leaving to work on that book.

Hagu and sensei are really close since they both feel lonely knowing that they will be seperated. Also did you see Mayama looking at Yamada and Hagu looking at Takemoto while they were looking for the 4-leaved clover?! Judging by the preview, Yamada still has a chance! I thought she didn’t have one at all!

This was a good episode, but I feel like the show is beginning to get pretty formulaic at this point.
Every episode has a few jokes, some big dramatic moments, a custom song near the end of the episode, and some bittersweet resolution at the end.

This is probably would have been the best episode yet, but it's impact is diminished by the episodes that came before it that followed the same exact formula. I kind of wish this show would build up to it's dramatic moments instead of shoehorning them in to each and every episode...

So-so. Mayama's words to Rika seem to imply he's choosing her despite warming up to Yamada more.

Morita is still hilarious.

Kinda glad we're seeing more actual talking from Hagu, even though she does still act pretty childlike.

Awww, that was a really great episode.

I can't believe Sensei is leaving to go travel with his sensei. Poor Hagu and none of them could find the four leaved clover.

This was a solid episode.
Apparently the odds of finding a four leaf clover are 1 in 10,000. That's the only number I can find, but I doubt it's that round of a number and just repeated over and over again from experiment.
Anyways, there were really well animated moments like the bracelet scene, her body language said it all.

i don't know why but i always get this bittersweet, melancholic, i-want-to-cry feeling whenever i watch honey & clover, even listening to the OP gives me a lot of feels. the art & sound direction is really amazing. also it's so relaxing to watch at the end of the day

i'm glad mayama & yamada are getting along better now and he's really making an effort as well, the ending the previous episode where mayama admitted that he sees himself in her (wrt unrequited love) that was just heartbreaking, even if they can't be together i hope they can develop a stronger friendship from here on

oh dear god i'm glad hagu-chan is having way more decent lines & NORMAL dialogue this episode. it'll be way better if she stopped referring to herself in 3rd person as well lol damn it just speak normally hahaha i'm warming up to her as well. but why does she look even more (relatively) grown up when she was a high school student in the flashback, clearly they could have drawn her slightly less child-like -______-

her side profile looks really pretty & more mature, even with those ridiculously huge twin buns. i wished they showed her more like that. she also looked so pretty & grown up when she was with takemoto looking for the 4-leaf clover her hair looks way better down

anyway poor hagu :( she must have felt so lonely, i'm glad shuuji was there for her and helped her develop her artistic potential

yay i'm looking forward to watching yamada live with hagu, she's always so in awe of yamada it's so cute

that end was beautiful, really moving episode, as always

So this episode teases us with the idea of people coming to terms with things and moving on.

Mayama and Yamada are finally able to interact as friends without one, or both, having to feel guilty or embarrassed over unrequited love. Hagumi is willing to stay behind as Shuji leaves for a year, going so far as to have Yamada move in with her. While likely not completely moving on, Mayama at least seems willing to give up on Rika, for now. Shuji even seems to cement this theme when he says Hagu didn't need to give him anything more. Then we get to the hotpot scene.

I am almost certainly reading too much into it, but the eye lines during this brief scene are amazing to me. Yamada is staring at Mayama almost the entire time, with both Morita and Takemoto doing the same with Hagu. This feels like too much of a contrast to the rest of the episode to be nothing.

Outside the episodes main theme, we got a few interesting looks into character's personal lives.

Yamada's dad is the same brash, yet cool, older guy as Kazu and Harada.

Morita is now answering job requests directly, and not using his phone just to fuck with Mayama.

A look at Hagu's past goes along way to explaining her early mannerisms and social anxiety. Though, and maybe I just missed it but, I don't remember Shuji saying anything about her parents dying so I don't know why she was living alone with her grandmother.

Finally, on the subject of things I may be unaware of, is there a cultural context to it, or is it a little weird Rika talked to her dead husband and called him by their shared family name?

This anime is alright if you can look past Hagu's loliness. Has picked up since episode 5 and especially episode 6 even if it's still following a predictable episodic formula.
