Honey and Clover

In two months Shojo Beat is finally saying goodbye to NANA [noo ;A;]

But saying HELLO! to Honey & Clover.

I personally LOVE this anime and have been watching it subbed. And I'm soo excited for it to be serialized in Shojo Beat.

They also did a live action film on it, ahh. Which I havn't seen

About Honey & Clover (Possible spoilers):

Quote:

Yūta Takemoto, Takumi Mayama and Shinobu Morita are three young men who live in the same apartment complex and are students at an art college in Tokyo.

One day, one of the art professors, Shūji Hanamoto, introduces his cousin's daughter, Hagumi Hanamoto, who has come to live with him and is a first year at the art school. Upon introduction, Takemoto and Morita fall in love with her. Morita expresses his love for Hagu in ways that scare her, especially calling Hagu 'mousey' and constantly photographing her, while Takemoto hides his feelings and tries to be a friend to Hagu. Hagu herself, though initially timid and afraid of company, gradually warms up to the three.

The group also includes another female: Ayumi Yamada. She is a master of pottery, and is well known by her name "Tetsujin" (Iron Lady). When not at school or hanging out with friends from the college, she helps her family run the liquor store. She is very popular with all the guys, whether they are from the shopping district or the other male pottery students, but Mayama is the only man she is in love with.

Unfortunately, although Mayama considers Yamada a friend, he does not return Yamada's love and is busy chasing an older woman, Rika Harada. Rika runs an art business which she used to run with her husband, Harada before he died in a car accident which also left Rika disabled. Rika Harada and Shūji were very close friends and roommates in college. Mayama is sent by Shūji to help Rika, who has a hard time taking care of herself and running her business.

The story follows these five characters in their love triangles, graduating from college, finding jobs, and learning more about themselves.

Anyone else enjoyed this story yet?

I have a love-hate relationship with Honey and Clover. >_>; It's like--when I first watched the anime, it annoyed me but I couldn't stop watching it (mostly because I like to finish a series when started). I think the thing that really annoyed me was the indecisiveness throughout the show. Yet, I kept watching it and even Honey and Clover II. xD; I thought the ending was bittersweet, when Takemoto was eating the honey and clover sandwhich Hagu gave him. ;3<

Very cute series, I love it! I've seen both the first and second season and I love it really much. I've never read the manga or seen the live action ( Acually I didn't know they have one. )Hagu-Chan is soo cute! >w<

just got the Nov 2007 volume of Shojo Beat

so its in there.
i want to see whats so specially about it.

I loved the anime because I'm an art student and there are some parts where I'm like "yes, that is what its like in an art department."
I really don't like Hagu- Cute to the point of disgusting with no real contribution to anything other than something for male cahracters to creepily fall in love with.
I haven't caught up with my Beat in a while, so I only read the first two chapters I think.

I really enjoyed it! I never finished the second season though, even though I have it downloaded. ;w; It's difficult to pinpoint what exactly I like about the series. It got me hooked on the "slice of life" genre. xD; I love the characters, and the art school aspect. I guess the whole "feel" of the show is what grabs me. ^w^;;

~~I don't get Shojo Beat but I think it's pretty cool the manga will be in it. At least it means the graphic novels will come out~. ♥~~
OH WOW this thread is old. Somebody needs to check out the manga section more often. >_>;;
