About Honey and Clover

Honey and Clover (Hachimitsu to Clover) arrives as a comedy anime by J.C.Staff (2005), and the premise is easy to summarize. The premise: Yuuta Takemoto, a sophomore at an arts college, shares a cheap apartment with two seniors—the eccentric Shinobu Morita, who keeps failing to graduate due to his absenteeism, and the sensible Takumi Mayama. Takemoto had not given much thought to his future until one fine spring day, when he runs into the endearing Hagumi Hanamoto and falls in love at first sight.

Also worth knowing: Incredibly gifted in the arts, Hagumi enrolls in Takemoto's university and soon befriends the popular pottery pupil Ayumi Yamada. Ayumi is already well acquainted with the three flatmates and secretly harbors deep feelings for one of them. Hachimitsu to Clover is a heartwarming tale of youth, love, soul-searching, and self-discovery, intricately woven through the complex relationships between five dear allies.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. It will appeal most to viewers who want something light between heavier series.
