Honey & Clover is about art college students and love triangles. There’s equal part heartache and laugh till your tummy aches in these pages. I would like to recomend this manga to anyone who’s looking for a manga with real heart and great humor. There’s Hagu-chan the 18yr old who looks 12 and also an art genius who steals the hearts of everyone who lays eyes on her. And Mortia the lazy bum who should’ve graduated a long time ago but manages to sleep through enough final exams to keeping him trying again and again. Mayama who’s a little cold, but he’s Takemoto’s friend and the object of Yamada’s unreturned affections. Takemoto is a freshman who seems to be the series clearest cut main character. he’s also in love with Hagu…not that we’re sure she knows.
Not a lot happens in the first volume…it spends more time profiling the characters and laying the ground work. But it will make you laugh and cry and ultimately enjoy it.
