Yes, Hagu chose Shuu. No one really knows if they'd end up together or something romantic would grow from Hagu, but she considers art as her life, more important than love. We all know that she loves Morita, but she goes with Shuu because he can support her with her art endeavors. Well, Shuu seems to be romantically inclined to Hagu (Episode 11), however, as I see it, it's one-sided.

I have to rewatch that scene to be accurate, all I can remember is that they were talking about goals and meaning of some things and stuff. Then again, I'm pretty certain there were no parts in there that said that she'd wait for him. Chances are, if she'd wait for someone, it will be Morita, not Takemoto.

Ahh I see ...I feel bad for Takemoto,well i guess things don't really go our way in life ...maybe the last train scene kinda made me think that hagu kinda has some feelings towards Takemoto ...well never mind,thanks by the way Lorelei for your explanation ^^

This is one of my favourite anime series ever.
With my favourite character ever - Morita.
I really wished that Hagu would chose him, but the ending left me with the feeling that he'll come back for her.
The characters were brilliant (except for the good-for-nothing Takemoto), the story was too. I'm so sad it's over.
Well I guess it's time for the manga now! ^^

Bah! The voice actor change ruined everything for me.
I'll try to rewatch the DVD version but I feel that It may be too late.

Wich is too bad since I loved both seasons of this show and the ending would've been great but all I could think about was how Takemoto's voice sounded so wrong...
Too lazy. Maybe later.

I really want Morita x Hagu ending, I support this pairing since the beginning of the 1st season. uhhh..but I won't complain that it was a great ending to a great series. Gonna miss Honey & Clover. Yeah, Takemoto's last words was really touching. And I noticed that Takemoto's voiced changed.

This was a great series, actually preferred this season to the first. The last few minutes with Takemoto's ending words and the honey and clover sandwiches had me pretty much in tears.
Would've preferred a clearer conclusion for Yamada/Nomiya and Mayama/Rika, though I'm just going to make my assumptions that they both got together. Shuu loving Hagu was a bit of a shock since I always saw that they had a father/daughter relationship the rest of the series, but I don't mind about the Hagu storyline that much as I never really liked her.
Definitely one of my favourite animes now, the storyline and characters were brilliant. 10/10 overall.

Finally, Japan does a romantic story that's realistic. I'm actually glad Takemoto didn't get his way in the end. That's how life works. Season two was so much better than the first.

I thought this was so much better than the first season. Some say they thought it was too serious, but I preferred that angle and how characters relationships deepened so beautifully because of it. I like the comedy in Honey and Clover, but injecting too much into the sequel would have weakened it.

I cried when Takemoto found the four leaf clovers on his sandwiches. I finally felt something for Morita when they stopped making him being there solely for the point of humour (I was waiting so long for development on his part), and his brother's story was amazing. I wasn't too enamoured with Hagu and Morita's relationship, so I'm happy with the way it ended, even though I can't see Hanamoto and Hagu's relationship as romantic.

10/10.

I totally loved the second season, it was better than the first one. The pace was a bit faster and the drama more intense and wow all the character story's were pretty heavy sometimes... I'm glad I finished it though and I'll def miss it :(

I liked the ending for Hagu and Shuu-chan but poor Morita and Yuuta, they were the only ones without a really happy ending... But the last lines of Yuuta were just so touching and I now know why it's called Honey & Clover... <3

I think it was a really good and powerful ending....it just struck me as weird when she got all touchy with Takemoto at the LAST episode...when all she was ever thinking about before was Morita...UGH.

Overall, i'm disappointed in the ending, but i still give the anime a ten.

Bittersweet ending. It is truly a beautiful series, although the left field ending kinda left me with a wut expression. I guess I am one of the few who was glad morita didn't end up with hagu. Although I had hopes for takemoto I kind of dig how they don't toss him any bones really. His life sucks but he just mans up and deals with it. It's honestly crazy how this anime replicates life, as silly as that sounds.

It was pretty good but I didn't enjoy it as much as the first season, which I thought was amazing.
A few things bugged me about season 2 that left me with a weird feeling.

First, is Shuu confessing his love for Hagu. I don't really care for the age gap. My main gripe lies in the fact that Hagu is Shuu's cousins daughter (according to season 1). That would mean Shuu is Hagu's biological uncle. Nevermind the fact that he raised her as a father figure ever since she was so little she peed her bed (according to season 2 episode 12).

Second, Takemaru seemed a bit neglected in the story. Whatever happened to the end of season 1 with his bike journey? In that episode the most important thing for me was that he actually found some courage and decisiveness for once which leads him to confess to Hagu. However, that is all missing in season 2.
He kind of passively does nothing the whole season except give excuses to not try. Only time he gets near hagu is tagging along with Yamada, or when Morita rushes the hospital-- a far cry from seeing her as the important thing from his bike journey. Very dissapointed.

So in the end - Hagu stayed with her cousin Shuuji. It makes sense as she has been with him most of her life and her future is now in question as an artist. He indicated that he loves her - was it romantic or other - I just find it fuzzy.

What love is it for Shinobu?

What type of love for Yuuta?

I fell that they left ayummi in the dark......

Any thoughts?

Takemoto must be the worst mainchar ever. First of all I couldnt see any charm in Hagu, who was supposed to be a gifted kid but I can't recall seing her complete any work at all. Only the teacher guy had a believeable reason to like her, which was still somewhat a mix of loli fetish and maternal instinct. Others took a shine to hagu since she was the only undecided girl around i suppose, because otherwise, why? In the end noone but the glasses guy had any will to fight for anyone and he carried the anime to be barely watchable.

The series was probably the best romance anime I have ever seen.

The bike ride and train scene seemed kind of cruel, nails into the coffin type of thing. I can't agree with Hagu's pairing sadly enough. The Train scene was the only scene that really made me tear up. I couldn't feel most of the other relationships very much. And my favorite character had the worst ending lol. I still never grew to like Nomiya.

But enough with the put downs, the show is an amazing anime.

Loved watching H&C, However, I wanted Hagu-chan to be with Yuta, and when I relized it wasn't going to happen, I was so sad and mad at the same time. :/
But I guess i'll live because they had a moment in the end. TT.TT

This is the best slice of life anime ever, i watched 12 episodes within a day.

I was touched at the ending, when Takemoto says his first line, "a six tatami room with no bath, 10 minute walk from the college yada yada blah blah blah" after that I shiver, big time! And when he cried out loud inside the train, I can't help myself from crying too ahahaha.

My bias character would be Yamada, because I feel the same way you can't tell the reason why you love a certain person even if it hurts you so bad. But finally there's Nomiya-san who's on her side.

I'll give this anime a 10/10 :)

Still a good ending.

This anime needs no alterations (except for a redub of Takemoto's voice in the last episode). The characters were the most natural in any sort of media I've ever seen.

I had a few minor nitpicks* (gave both seasons a 10/10) but felt this was an excellent series and moving way to end it. The series (ending especially) did seem rushed (12 episodes wasn't enough!) but it worked in the realistic sense: your life can suddenly change at the drop of a hat.

*I wish we could have seen more of an outcome with Rika/Mayama/Yamada/Norita love square (the credits sort of answer that though a lot of the ending credits is up to viewer interpretation). Also the Shuuji/Hagu angle seemed to come out of nowhere (compared to Takemoto and Morita) but I don't think it was necessarily in a romantic sense--all this time, Shuuji was looking after Hagumi because it was what he wanted to do and WAS truly happy with.

Realistic and touching, simply wonderful. The cast all found the missing thing from their lives (Four Leaf Clover symbolism) in one way or another.

Slice of life with such maturity even when it had its scenes full of quirkiness and comedy it never felt out of place. The characters were all brilliantly written out with their own individual story lines that yet still managed to intertwine till the very end.
Everything about this anime is what I love and look forward to when I watch animes of this genre.

Going up there with one of my favourites, no question.

Oh well, I'm just glad that Ayu seemed to have gotten her happy ending too. But it's sad to see them part ways. Guess that's how life goes. And it's not like they're never gonna meet again.
