| This was a good episode, but I feel like the show is beginning to get pretty formulaic at this point. Every episode has a few jokes, some big dramatic moments, a custom song near the end of the episode, and some bittersweet resolution at the end. This is probably would have been the best episode yet, but it's impact is diminished by the episodes that came before it that followed the same exact formula. I kind of wish this show would build up to it's dramatic moments instead of shoehorning them in to each and every episode... |

| Think they tried to sell the parting a little too much, ended up getting a little turned off by the whole affair and not enjoying this episode. |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| So-so. Mayama's words to Rika seem to imply he's choosing her despite warming up to Yamada more. Morita is still hilarious. Kinda glad we're seeing more actual talking from Hagu, even though she does still act pretty childlike. |
| Nevermind, I thought they graduated/were graduating after last episode. Oh well, still doesn't seem like anything has happened yet. |
| Awww, that was a really great episode. I can't believe Sensei is leaving to go travel with his sensei. Poor Hagu and none of them could find the four leaved clover. Shinobu singing about having money in his pocket was funny <3 |
 |
| there is so much love triangle here. |

| such a moving episode... what a moment of bliss, just watching them look for a clover. |

| This was a solid episode. Apparently the odds of finding a four leaf clover are 1 in 10,000. That's the only number I can find, but I doubt it's that round of a number and just repeated over and over again from experiment. Anyways, there were really well animated moments like the bracelet scene, her body language said it all. |
 |
| I'm glad that Yamada will live with Hagu-chan, I was afraid that she would be left all alone. |
 |
| Yamada is real bae. Better choice than Rika. |

| Ohh... ...my.... ......GOD!!!! What a boring anime! |

| Wow, that was so moving and beautiful, this show is really starting to look much much better since last episode, because they dialed down on the bad humor, and upped the game with some really well-directed drama. |

| i don't know why but i always get this bittersweet, melancholic, i-want-to-cry feeling whenever i watch honey & clover, even listening to the OP gives me a lot of feels. the art & sound direction is really amazing. also it's so relaxing to watch at the end of the day i'm glad mayama & yamada are getting along better now and he's really making an effort as well, the ending the previous episode where mayama admitted that he sees himself in her (wrt unrequited love) that was just heartbreaking, even if they can't be together i hope they can develop a stronger friendship from here on oh dear god i'm glad hagu-chan is having way more decent lines & NORMAL dialogue this episode. it'll be way better if she stopped referring to herself in 3rd person as well lol damn it just speak normally hahaha i'm warming up to her as well. but why does she look even more (relatively) grown up when she was a high school student in the flashback, clearly they could have drawn her slightly less child-like -______- her side profile looks really pretty & more mature, even with those ridiculously huge twin buns. i wished they showed her more like that. she also looked so pretty & grown up when she was with takemoto looking for the 4-leaf clover her hair looks way better down anyway poor hagu :( she must have felt so lonely, i'm glad shuuji was there for her and helped her develop her artistic potential yay i'm looking forward to watching yamada live with hagu, she's always so in awe of yamada it's so cute that end was beautiful, really moving episode, as always |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| This episode gives me the feels |
| So this episode teases us with the idea of people coming to terms with things and moving on. Mayama and Yamada are finally able to interact as friends without one, or both, having to feel guilty or embarrassed over unrequited love. Hagumi is willing to stay behind as Shuji leaves for a year, going so far as to have Yamada move in with her. While likely not completely moving on, Mayama at least seems willing to give up on Rika, for now. Shuji even seems to cement this theme when he says Hagu didn't need to give him anything more. Then we get to the hotpot scene. I am almost certainly reading too much into it, but the eye lines during this brief scene are amazing to me. Yamada is staring at Mayama almost the entire time, with both Morita and Takemoto doing the same with Hagu. This feels like too much of a contrast to the rest of the episode to be nothing. Outside the episodes main theme, we got a few interesting looks into character's personal lives. Yamada's dad is the same brash, yet cool, older guy as Kazu and Harada. Morita is now answering job requests directly, and not using his phone just to fuck with Mayama. A look at Hagu's past goes along way to explaining her early mannerisms and social anxiety. Though, and maybe I just missed it but, I don't remember Shuji saying anything about her parents dying so I don't know why she was living alone with her grandmother. Finally, on the subject of things I may be unaware of, is there a cultural context to it, or is it a little weird Rika talked to her dead husband and called him by their shared family name? |

| Good episode. I like how it went for a simpler style with more animation. Anyways imagine just how awkward it would be, looking at 5 idiots searching the mud for a 4 leaf clover lol |
 |
| Such a beautiful and moving interpretation of the manga. I am so grateful for this beautiful story. |
