Originally was going to give this a 7
I actually enjoyed most of the series. It was fun. But the ending.... was dogshit.
its sad the author pulls the open ending garbage like there actually good author's making good decisions but sadly that is not the case.
Many of characters barely grow in this time span as well as the fact that the romance is kept open ended while keeping the pacing a snail.
Overall it could've been good fun show. But the ending ruined it. the journey saves it from going into the negative but the ending ruins any chance for it being actually worth watching

Your Feelings Categories Dec 1, 2011
If you’re reading these lines you’re wasting time you could have spent reading one of the best manga’s out there. But if you insist you can read my review first and then read Honey & Clover…
Honey & Clover popped up many times on my radar, but I never started it. I just thought it was another school Manga with a loli complex. Gosh was I wrong. The story plays in an art university and being a student myself I could easily relate to the situation. If I had to cut it down, it’s really about a bunch of Students and their close surrounding. As boring as ... Apr 10, 2010
This is an oddly enjoyable manga. It's very simple and basic, the drawings just plain, clean lines, But something addicts you to reading it. It's a fun manga, barely any deep feelings, But then, when there are, It's described so thoroughly and whole-heartedly it makes you cry. (unless it's something happy being described)it's hilarious too. I can't stop laughing when i read this.
SPOILER (Sort of) there's this part where one of the main characters builds a tower thing for his grad project, and the teachers stand there and are like "it's good but.." so the guys friend takes a piece of wood and makes up a ... Oct 2, 2021
I knew from reviews that the romance was going to be lacking, and the main focus would be friendship. However, I felt that the friendship was even done poorly. The group of college students that are supposedly meant to be friends are so.. distant, so... uncaring in a way. They treat each other with little thought continuously and I fail to see any real connections between them. The one guy is in love with this girl and they're portrayed as being practically besties, but this one scene were the guy is confiding in her about his feelings and she just kinda... ignores him and changes

one of my favorite manga and my biggest inspiration!
story - it's not just typical slice of life, every chapter left something for us to learn and the story is realistic, especially when you are uni or college students. also don't forget the comedic situations and the expression! this manga will make you laugh like crazy, and the next chapter you bawl like a baby. art - at first it's a bit rough, but gets even better. I don't know how to say it but I can feel the warmth of the drawing and it looks so soft. character - every characters feel so real and can relate ... Jul 15, 2019
tl;dr on bottom
Honey and Clover is a manga that makes it really hard for me to pin down how I feel about it. It's a story packed full of love but no romance, is full of development yet things feel stagnant, and has characters that feel realistic but at the same time unbelievable. The story follows primarily a group of 6 residents in a small house at an art school. The manga as a whole is then split up to follow each of the six characters as they learn to deal with their own personal struggles of love, talent and purpose. It's honestly a little ... Jul 24, 2021
I love this manga. safe to say that i really enjoyed this read.
its a story about people and how they struggle with love, passion, careers and relationships in a way that is realistic and relatable. every character in this series has depth and story that keeps you emotionally driven while reading it. it talks about how people deal with unrequited love. how they manage it, how they choose to hold on and to let go. not only love for a person, but love in work and hobbies such as art. with that, they talk about how people's struggles with balancing love and passion especially ...

i don't usually write reviews, this is my first one, in fact, but i just felt like i had to write one when it comes to this manga.
at first, hachimitsu to clover probably reads like any other slice of life. some guys living together, getting through hardships idk. but hachikuro does it differently, and you need to see beyond just the summary. the characters are very well fleshed out in my opinion, and they have such good moments with so much personality in them, it really makes you get attached, especially for our main guy takemoto-kun. the comedy is also enjoyable, it comes naturally with whatever ...

The first great work by the author of 3-gatsu no Lion, Honey and Clover is a triumph of slice of life and josei romance. If you are an artist yourself, or a fan of the mangaka's other stories, consider an investment in the entire series and purchase all ten volumes of "HoneyClo". It will be money and time well spent.
The romantic relationships in Honey and Clover are every bit as messy as real life. And the most common complaint about the series is that there are too many stories. Most of the characters just don't get enough time or pages to bring their stories ... |
