This manga deserves an adaptation of any sort, so I’m extremely glad it is getting both, a TV anime series and live-action movie. Now, I just need to know whom the scriptwriter and director will be for the anime (more than the studio, honestly). As long as the production crew has experience making good drama/slice of life series, I’m cool.
In the meantime, I’m looking forward to hear more from this (PV, casting, release date, etc). I could see this as a Spring or Fall series of next year.

I hope Natsuki Hanae gets the main role.
Ohhhh, I love him, if he voices the main role I'll pass out.

For example there are 87 review on amazon Japan Honey and Clover first volume page and 26 people depict it as shoujo manga and 1 people depict it as josei manga and 0 people depict it as josei muke manga,josei muke comic,ladies comic,young ladies comic.
As you can see most people only use the word shoujo manga only.
I'm not arguing that people don't call it that.
I'm arguing that it isn't Shoujo nor does it have a "Shoujo" artstyle.
Umino's artstyle isn't really fitting under Shoujo or Josei artstyle.
.
I re-read your comment and you didn't mention artstyle being shoujo/josei or not as far as I can tell,sorry if I was mistaken.

I'm so excited for this...I loved Honey and Clover so hopefully this is just as good, if not better.
Sadly, not better but it's better in a way, since it's entirely focused on one character.

I love this series and it's such a nice SOL.
I hope Natsuki Hanae gets the main role. I always imagined his voice when reading it.
hachi-clo's is shoujo and 3gatsu is seinen which indeed having mostly male fanbase dispite shoujo ish artstyle,so it does not matter if you liked hachi clo or not
No, HnC is Josei. I've read both manga and they don't differ much in feeling and atmosphere. Main difference is that 3gatsu has no romance so far.
Its mostly called shoujo manga in Japan(shince the word josei manga is not so much used as a matter of fact),I know English fandom want to distinguish them though.
Cutie comic is shoujo manga magazine(that Honey and Clover started)
Young You is Young ladies comic
Cocohana is shoujo manga magazine for adult as wiki says.
If you google in Japanese Honey and clover and shoujo manga/josei manga/josei comic most people depict it as shoujo manga.
I actually tried and indeed relatively few people/site depict it as josei manga/josei comic and a lot of site/people depict it as shoujo manga.
