love the new OP visuals!

loved how the drew hagu in this episode, there were many stills where she looked way more mature

yamada Tt_______tT how painful must it be for her to spend more quality time with mayama yet knowing it will go nowhere romantically. loves the symbolism of that plant..... & that was so heartbreaking, i cried so badly during the fireworks scene her monologue was so sad. it doesn’t just apply to unrequited feelings, it evoked a lot of emotions about relationships in general, reminded me a lot of a past relationship when i knew it was coming to an end..... yet another great episode. honey & clover is such a great SOL-drama-romance

wish mayama would at least give her a chance, she’s such a great girl. but easier said than done when it comes to love. i love how realistically portrayed the romance/unrequited love is







but i’ll probably remember over and over again
you were there and everyone else was there

New OP animation kinda makes me think of FLCL ED (probably the scooter despite it being the completely wrong colour) also partly live action, i'll give a new more episode for deciding which one I like more.

On to the actually episode, it was extremely bitter sweet, the firework scene on the riverbank makes me feel really bad for Yamada, she's a really fun character and look amazing in a Yukata (then again I don’t think i’ve ever seen someone look bad in one) hopefully after this she will start being able to move on, never an easy thing to do especially when you have been hung up on someone for 3+ years. I think she is also the person who’s had the least positive things happen to her in the show so far.

The plant analogy for relationships was intriguing and rather fitting, the leave on the tomato plant (Beefsteak as my subs called it is a type of tomato) after the break would still be green and look healthy as while the plants flow of nutrients have been cut off by the break they aren’t going to immediately die off similar to how people can think a relationship looks healthy for a time even after major issues have arisen.

As to Hugu not the easiest person to get a read on, when don’t know how long it seems since the kiss, can’t have been to long given Takamoto telling everyone where Morita went off to but still feel like it needs to have been 2-3 days.

Also new ED, I like of like the previous ones song better but given I’m one of those people who needs to listen to things a few time to warm up to them will also withhold my judgement here.

Overall, the official North American English translation in the manga is superior to the English subtitles of the anime. There are so many subtleties in the story, in the speech of the characters, that seem to have been lost in the anime translation. I strongly recommend reading the manga prior to watching the anime.

The new opening and ending credits animations are a welcome change. I'm glad they kept YUKI's opening theme song.

Watching poor Yamada pine away for the jerk Mayama is heartbreaking. I have been on team Yamada from the beginning. No matter the other plots, I am focusing all my positive energy on this poor girl, praying that she will forget the sociopath Mayama and open her eyes to the good men all around her.

Glad they got rid of those disgusting visuals from the OP. And Hagu and Morita's "romance" is still the worst part of this show. It's completely forced and contrived, right from the beginning. It would be better if they focused more on Yamada and megane-kun's relationship. At least we saw it develop in front of us. With Hagu and Morita we are simply expected to go along with it when wen never saw anything believable happen between them.
