"Honey and Clover" is the author's favorite youth theme anime in college, the author uses vivid character images, delicate emotional expressions, and the background of the university era to create a youth story full of sour, sweet and bitter, but passionate and wanton.
This anime describes three ways of love and the choice of youth.
The first: dick's love
Yuta Takemoto is a poor second-year student in the Department of Architecture at Hamadasan University of Fine Arts. After his father died and his mother remarried, he felt superfluous and chose to study in a foreign country. Simple personality, gentle and slender, easy to self-trouble.
The first female protagonist, Hanamoto Ye Kumi (Aku), is a slender and beautiful, strong and tough little girl on the inside, after the recommendation of Shuji Hanamoto (Aku's father's cousin, Aku's guardian, and also the teacher of The University of Beauty), came to Hamadayama University of Fine Arts to study oil painting, introverted, not good at expression, extremely afraid of life, but has a super high artistic talent, the world in her eyes is different and colorful.
Takemoto fell in love with Aku at first sight, but he hesitated and was not brave enough, and has since fallen into a bitter unrequited love. Before graduation, due to employment problems and emotional troubles, he embarked on a bicycle journey to seek himself. Sublimated during the trip, he confessed to Aku after returning to school, but was rejected. The final work is a tower of youth full of contradictions and courage, just like his life, full of confusion and struggle.
The second: genius love
Morita Shinobi, a student of the Sculpture Department at Hamadasan University of Fine Arts, has a dashing, off-line, unruly, somewhat cynical, and well-deserved genius, but surprisingly lonely and prone to loneliness. Working with her brother Morita to get back her father's company, she has a strong ability to absorb gold. It took eight years to finally graduate from college, and then I was transferred to the class and became a student again.
Geniuses are lonely, but they are also destined to attract each other. Aku slowly accepts and falls in love with Morita during Morita's ambiguity and harassment. They have no formal beginning, no sea oath mountain alliance, you and me, but in the daily relationship to see each other and feel at ease, in order not to lag behind and work hard to create, such a relationship is easy and satisfied. Everything is reversed in an accident, Aku is hit by a falling glass on the teaching building, and his hands are so badly injured that he can't create. Genius is unable to take care of herself and others, and she finally chooses to create in creation and love. In the end, Aku's hands did not return to normal, but they still paid attention to each other, and Aku would slowly catch up.
The third kind: companionship love
Masayama Yuki, a student of the Architecture Department of Hamadayama University of Fine Arts, has a calm personality, is rational and resourceful, and has always liked Rika Harada (Shuji Hanamoto's close friend, due to a serious car accident that occurred in a late return, and her husband died, which also left her with scars), Rika knows his feelings, but because of his nostalgia for his deceased husband and the age gap between them, he has been politely rejected. Masayama was troubled by unobtainable love. After graduation, she first worked at Fujiwara Design Institute, and then entered Rika's company to accompany her to work hard.
The second female protagonist, Yamada Yayumi, a student of the Ceramics Department of Hamadayama University of Fine Arts, has excellent grades, has an outstanding appearance and figure, and is the first fairy of Hamada, but her personality is an unexpected martial arts faction, nicknamed Iron Man. She has always been in love with Makoto, but at the same time understands Makoto's heart, which makes her feel melancholy. After graduating, he stayed in school, but was later impressed by the sincerity of Nomiya Craftsman (Fujiwara Design Institute, The predecessor of Masayama, who is highly efficient and can be classified as rich and handsome).
Yumi has always liked Masayama, believing that without confession, there is no rejection, no harm, and no need to end this persistence and like. But as Masayama graduates and leaves, she herself understands that Masayama has begun to work hard to get closer to the person he likes, and that her insistence on liking does not save the feeling. Masayama also likes Yumi, but not love, so he loses her on the way to the pursuit, allowing Nomiya to catch up with Yumi and take her to escape from Masayama. Nomiya is actually quite scummy, but he meets the simple Yumi, pursues and falls in love with a positive attitude, and accompanies Yumi. Masayama also impresses Rika with companionship. Meeting the right person at the right time is probably what their love looks like.
The first half of the whole anime is relaxed and cheerful, and the second half is a little sad but thought-provoking, drawing the simple beauty, joy, contradiction and confusion, and brave persistence of youth, which is exactly what youth looks like.
This anime is recommended for high school students and older, and the understanding will be more profound. Just as you are young and we who do not forget youth, let's pursue it together
