Honey & Clover - Hachikuro!!!


Check out the animation series that's captured the heart of Japan, "Honey & Clover." When it debuted in April of 2005 it broke the viewing record for a late-night animation, capturing nearly 4% of the total viewing audience. The story focuses on three young, broke roommates and the various love triangles that surround them. Takemoto and Morita want Hagumi, Mayama wants Rika, Yamada wants Mayama, Rika wants her late husband back, and Hagumi . . . we're not sure just who she wants.

Two love triangles, six characters, and a whole lot of love, dreams, and worrying. Kindness, cruelty, irritation, and a little silliness and nostalgia come together to make a glowing tale of glacially slow one-sided love.

"Honey & Clover" is based on the manga by Chika Umino. Soundtrack includes opening theme song "Dramatic" by YUKI (formerly of Judy and Mary), and ending theme "Waltz" by Suneohair. Volume 4 of the series coming November 25!
