“The boy and girl are swayed”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Honey and Clover<\/i> has that “feeling” about it. It’s dramatic, but still comedic. Honey and Clover<\/I> doesn’t make me feel like this<\/a>, but it is still very good.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I really don’t know what the focus of this series is supposed to be, and that’s a good thing. From the start you’re supposed to believe it is Takemoto’s show, because he does the narration. Now he just pops in and Mayama is at the fore. <\/p>\n

While Mayama does seem like a “bad person” when you consider Yamada’s feelings, he does have his own. The understatement of the relationship between him, “Shuu-chan” and Rika is just about perfect. So much is going unsaid, but the animation and music manage to communicate it all.
\nOf course, Yamada isn’t the nicest person herself.<\/a><\/p>\n

This episode shows Hagu-chan in a more childish light, especially when partnered with one of the students’ younger sisters. The dream that Takemoto has at the end is both interesting and puzzling; I really wish I knew what was going on there.<\/p>\n

A good episode on the “Mayama love” front and also the “Hagu-chan isolation” issue.<\/p>\n
