Just finished watching Hachimitsu to Kurōbā or better known as Honey and Clover. This is probably my third or fourth re-run of the entire anime series. But heck, it's too good to resist. There are plenty of reasons on why you should watch Honey and Clover.
- It's a comical and a thought provoking anime at the same time.
- The animation is simply superb.
- The theme songs and inert songs between each episode is just fantastic.
- The monologues of the main characters are to die for.
- The storyline of the anime is simple, light, and easy to follow.
- There is just something special in this anime, where everyone can relate to.
Primary Characters
Morita
Secondary Character
Kaoru
At the end of the day, Honey and Clover is ultimately a story about the love a person has towards his or her friends and also unrequited love. At the end of the series, it also made me realized the importance of moving on and overcoming the ups and downs of life. Sure it may sound as if it was a clichè, but during the course of the anime itself, I am able to identify a lot with a few of the anime characters, namely Takemoto and Kaoru.
Below is a list of my favourite character through out Honey and Clover;
Honey and Clover top 5 characters
- Takemoto Yuuta: Some of his monologues are the best ones I've heard in my life. An average Joe where everyone can relate to.
- Morita Shinobu: A jerk and a jester at times, but nevertheless deep down lies a sad and complex charter which one can relate with.
- Morita Kaoru: It's hard not to sympathise with him when you know first hand what it feels to be ignored by your own father. Kaoru's envious confession at the end is also worth mentioning.
- Hanamoto Hagumi: Cute and charming as ever. Yet her determination and courage far out beat anyone I ever met so far. Her artistic talent and mental is also plain astounding.
- Hanamoto Shūji: Ever there for Hagu. Ever cool, calm, loving, patient and caring. Need I say more?
By the way, if you are curious on why the whole anime and manga is named as Honey and Clover, I recommend that you watch the last episode of Honey and Clover II. But beware of spoiler though. I truly hope that Honey and Clover is able to leave a lasting impression on you as it did on me.
"Although time will pass and the day when everything will become a mere memory will come, I was there, you were there, everyone was there, looking for only one thing under those miraculous days. No matter when, it feels sweet and painful at the same time. It will remain in that distant place in my heart. Always feels nostalgic, always turning". The End.
