Hachimitsu to Clover II

Back from his journey across Japan, Yuuta Takemoto reminisces about his college life so far. He has matured significantly since his second year and is motivated to move forward.

Feeling more confident than ever before, he finally confesses to Hagumi Hanamoto, the girl he has been in love with since their first encounter. However, Hagumi has been confused by her attempts to understand the mysterious Shinobu Morita. Hiding behind a playful demeanor, Morita may be the most burdened by his own potential. Meanwhile, Takumi Mayama has become a full-fledged working adult and has landed Ayumi Yamada several pottery orders through his company in an act of friendship.

The five youths continue to face individual hardships in academics, work, love, and friendship as they push each other toward the paths that they are destined to walk.

(Spanish review on my list)

The final season basically serves to wrap up the romantic storylines of the series and a few other details or objectives in the personal lives of the protagonists...

I'm not entirely satisfied with how the romance ended.

Basically, because everyone was paired up with someone or had a crush. While not everyone ended up together, everyone had an attraction to another character, who, in turn, had to break some hearts.

Throughout the series, different types of love were shown. For example, the professor's relationship with the blonde girl seemed more like a "father-daughter" love to me, but in the end, they made it more ... of a romantic love, which... well, I don't entirely like (I mean, they're cousins ​​after all XD).

But it's really a minor detail. The strength of the anime was never its romance; it was more about overcoming adversity and finding one's place in the world.

The drama is quite good; adversity happens to everyone, and this anime tries to teach you that in the end, everything can be overcome and you can move forward with effort, with the support of your friends, and why not say it, with sweet gestures (honey) and a bit of luck (and Clover).

Mixed Feelings

HIII BARBIE HERE >.<!!!!
Another review by me into the perspective of a woman.
YES i loved the soundtrack theme in general, the photography, the patrons and the following of the story, the great director and creative dude who helped in princess tutu and evangelion and my fave karekano did that labor, the talented and incredible CHIKA UMINO, did this well put it.
My trouble is something more social focused, I liked the characters but my female girls DESERVED better, idk why the fascination of women in asia writing about man, what she did with morita and takemoto she could do it with hagu or ayama, but she ... did'nt and this is something why it's lack for me, I couldn't connect with the men protagonists, they were so boring to me, I wanted more of hagu, rika, and ayama, even miwako, I understand that if you do a manga or anime focused on women is not well received in japan, but how are all this men writing about magical girls, even producing this type of anime?, idk weird. I wished chika developed more of the women, bc they deserved a well story telling, for example NANA is an amazing example of integrating men into the work but nothing revolves about them. I was excited at first bc I was curious just bc of hagu and it really took me a while to finished it, yes the philosophy is great, and has another elements, but it flopped tbh.

I felt mostly the same about this season of Honey and Clover as I did the first, except it somehow worse in a couple ways. It seemed like most Yuuki's development evaporated; It's like he regressed back to early 1st season self for most of the season. The handling of Shinobu's arc was odd, the guy himself hardly seemed interested what was going on in comparison to his brother. The biggest offenders however are easily the love lives of Hagu and Ayumi. (Mostly Hagu). If you've seen Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu or have heard of what happens in Usagi Drop's timeskip, you might have an ... idea of what I'm referring to.

---(Spoiler Warning)---
It's hard to explain just bad Hagu's romance is without spoiling it. Shinobu's arc closes with the romance him and Hagu being reignited, just for to immediately rejected for Shuuji. This initially understandable considering her desire to continue through rehab and continue. Then it's switches to Shuuji's perspective, where he at the very least heavily implies that he has strong romantic feelings for Hagu. Huh? They took the one relationship I enjoyed in this anime, a supportive father-daughter or big brother/little sister dynamic and abruptly transformed it into some incest-tinged nightmare. And no one in the anime bats an eye; they support it if anything. This plot point alone dragged Honey and Clover from a painfully boring to nearly irredeemable.
---(End Spoilers)---

This leaves just the art and music, which were serviceable. No real complaints in this area, just as good as the first season.

Overall, I'd say you're enjoyment of this season would be about same as the first. It's largely dependent on how invested in Yuuki, Shinobu, and Hagu since they get most of the spotlight. I strongly disliked Honey and Clover initially, and the developments in this season left an even worse taste in my mouth.
