Técnicamente no lo he leído. Lo empecé, pero lo he dejado a medias y tampoco seguiré con la serie.
No sé qué me pasa con este manga, me engancho unas pocas páginas y en cuanto se ponen a hacer el tonto me empiezo aburrir hasta que ya no tengo ganas de seguir leyendo. Ni idea de por qué, pero no tiene sentido seguir intentándolo.

The scene: sunset on a series of youthful friendships. The setting: suburban Japan. The time: Last year - or perhaps ten years ago. It does not matter, for the story itself is timeless. That transitory period - the one right between teenage-and-adulthood - of five young art students' lives is the focus of Honey and Clover.
By Volume 3, it has become no surprise to the reader that both Yūta Takemoto and Shinobu Morita are in love with the doll-faced, naive (and somewhat oblivious) Hagumi "Hagu" Hanamoto. And Ayumi Yamada still suffers through pangs of enormous, as-yet unrequited, love for Takumi Mayama, who is in turn enthralled with the older Rika Harada, a woman for whom Mayama has worked.
Although the theme of inexpressable love and romance permeates each page of Honey and Clover, it is certainly not the sole driving force behind the stories. In fact, were it not for these particular characters, there would be no Honey and Clover as it has become known and revered (Characters, each with their own particular neurosis: Hagu with her extreme social phobia; Mayama with his obsessive drive to "stalk" the unwitting object of his affection; Yamada's overtly aggressive stance (and difficulty holding her liquor); Morita's manic compulsions which drive him to frantic activity for days on end before finally crashing for many hours at a time; Professor Shūji Hanamoto's fanatical (and often eerie) devotion to his young niece Hagu...). There is seemingly no end to the chaos aroused by the emotional conflagration of these irrational behavioural traits, with tranquillity rarely prevailing - much to the amusement and delight of millions of readers worldwide.
In this installment of six chapters, which represent the late autumn through early spring of the character's collective lives, the romantic angle is further explored and delved into, both by the individual characters... and their peers. Hagu sees the oppressive, imminent return of her social phobia (seemingly conquered by the end of Volume 2). Mayama has become a "gainfully employed adult". And Morita-senpai... well, to tell any single thing of his antics would serve as an unforgivable spoiler to any Honey and Clover installment.
Interestingly enough, Volume 3 ends on a very rare cliffhanger-of-sorts, promising a very different series of stories to be told by the subsequent book in the series. Can the series be the same without the inclusion of one of its main players? Readers have seen the temporary displacemernt of Professor Hanamoto to Mongolia (who makes his celebrated return in this volume), though it will be fascinating to see how the story plays out sans one of its biggest names.
Honey and Clover represents the bittersweet successes of growing up... and of growing older. As time progresses, the end of the series seems to loom large, yet never casts too ominous a shadow over each fun-filled tale of friendship, adulthood, and near-miss romances.

I'm not typically a nostalgic person: not for music, or any media for that matter, nor any decade, or for any particular time of my life... except for my 20s. Those "new adult" years full of hanging out, expanding horizons. Learning what lines I wouldn't step across, and which I'd leap across with little or no provocation.
This manga makes me nostalgic for my own college days, much like the first series of Genshiken did. As I recall from watching the Honey and Clover anime (I didn't get much further than here when I first tried to read the manga), this story eventually gains a vibe that makes it lose its charm a bit, but I love this part of it.
My favorite part of this volume was the bonus story where Hagu and Ayu make tea cozies. It made me laugh because it reminded me of at least a couple of craft projects I put together when I was about their age, where the conception and ultimate reality were, ah, somewhat at odds with each other. I treasure a stuffed toy my sister made for me when she was a teen where something very similar happened, nearly 40 years after its creation. 💗

The pictures of this manga are beautiful by using a lot of tones, so artwork is good. However, story board is not good. I didn’t think I wanna keep reading,so I will stop it.

Yay!! I really enjoyed this volume! This series is sort of like the emo version of Friends :-p For the most part, I really like all of the characters, though... even still on the third volume, a little perturbed by Hagu-chan... and now I'm slightly disturbed about her and Hanamoto-sensei... even though they are relatives (slightly distant, if I remember correctly), I wouldn't put it passed Japan on anything :-p
I think Yamada and Takemoto are my favorite characters!! I thought Mayama would be cuz I really dig his nerdy look...but sometimes he makes me angry for reasons that are unknown to me. I just get pissed off. Haha! Hopefully I'll figure that out.
Morita is fun, but sometimes he's a bit too much... going back to that thought I shared last volume where sometimes I feel like Umino-san is trying too hard. This volume had a lot less of those moments but when it comes to Morita, I get that feeling again.
I loved all of Yamada's 3rd generation buddies! Hilarious!!
I'm actually excited to start volume 4! Woot!

I’m not a drama lover. This manga series is very meaningful. It’s not princess like fairy tale drama. Definitely not for young people.
You will only understand the deep meaning to every words once you experienced them. This series is grown up and some young viewers will find it boring.
The Highlights
Characters: Emotionally rich, complex and believable.
Romance: Beautifully painted with a brush of authenticity.
Animation: Soft and visually pleasing.
Ending: Unsatisfactory but complete nonetheless. [http://www.nihonreview.com/anime/hone...]

I can't believe I haven't mentioned this before, but not only is Umino's story really good, but her artwork is likewise wonderful. She's got such a beautiful to denote when things are tender and lovely, as well as the cute cliché which this wouldn't be as sweet without. The entire series is slightly nostalgic for something I've never experienced, but the lines are really fun most of the time, never letting us take it too seriously.

These college kids are starting to grow on me. Going through life, ups/downs, new love. I still find the character of Hagu a little disturbing, though. Not sure what's affected her development. Anyway, it's interesting and I'll be moving on to volume 4 eventually.

5-stars because I get Morita's brother in this volume. There's a lot of good in "Volume 3". For Hagu x Morita fans, this is volume satisfies. My boy, Takemoto, is unsure yet I like that he doesn't push. There's a bit about fighting for what you want (For Takemoto, that's Hagu), but I appreciate that Takemoto doesn't rush because he's unsure of himself and Hagu.
But my fave part is really the interaction between Morita's brother and Takemoto. It isn't long but it is enough to introduce a character who later in the series becomes one of the most fascinating to me.

I liked the art in volume 3, and the author captured the bittersweet sentiments of a senior savoring the moments with friends and feeling how fleeting those times are. The love triangles are out of control, and to be honest, I am not sure who Hagu likes. I am curious enough to want to get a couple more volumes and find out, so this is a four star rating from me, and I think I'll hit up Half Price Books when I go to Trader Joe's for some groceries because it's right next to that shopping center.

Sokadik és nem utolso kedvenc jelenetem ezúttal Morita állatságaiból,amikor csak úgy szimplán felkapja Mayamát és hozzávágja Ayuhoz..síírtam a nevetéstől:DDD
Hagu újabb ajándékot kap Moritától,ami szerintem olyan aranyos. Bizonyítja,hogy Morita nem csak egy idióta állat,hanem nagyon is tud gondoskodó és kedves lenni.
A hajóskirándulás is nagyon jó rész,és megint csak egy oylan részhez érkeztünk,amit nagyon szeretek. Az óriáskerékhez. Az idézet az animéből van,de muszály betennem ide:
"Kicsi koromban soha nem értettem, mi a jó az óriáskerekekben. Lassúak és magasra mennek, ennyi. Egy kör után eluntam az egészet. Sokkal jobban érdekeltek az izgalmas dolgok, mint a hullámvasutak vagy az óriás vízi csúszdák. De most azt hiszem, most már talán értem: az óriáskerekek arra valók, hogy lassan, csak szép lassan átússzunk az égen azzal, akit szeretünk, és közben talán néha beszélgessünk."
Morita mondjuk itt is hozza a formáját:'DDDD
Hanamoto tanár úr hazatér az útjáról és mindenféle ajándékot hoz a lányoknak…és a fiúknak….:D
Morita: egy kő
Mayama: egy bélyeg..
Takemoto: egy képeslap…
És engem meg szedjetek össze mert már emgint szétesek a röhögéstől:DDD
Hagu teljesen össze van zavarodva,és nem érti miért nem érzi jól magát Moritával. De legalább Shouji tudja…:) Morita megkattanása sokadik jelenet: a nagyon váarlan csók…ami olyan kis aranyos,de utána totál emghülyül:DD imádom*-* „egértekercs” x'D
Kaoru ismét feltűnik,magával rántva takemotot is,aki lélekszakadva rohan Morita után…De már nem éri el…

I still can't figure out what's going on between Morita and Hagu. Some romantic tension, story seems to be getting more serious, more poignant. The designer shower and Shinobu's Zundoko-bushi, hilarious. Some 'mild' language, one 'anatomical term' near the end threw me off; could have done with out that. Hardly any sexuality, if at all. The 'bonus' chapters at the end seemed to just be filler for extra pages.

While Professor Hanamoto is away on a research trip in Mongolia, Hagu is struggling to cope with her loneliness. Her friends try their best to help her but as graduation draws near it threatens to pull these friends apart, Morita is the one Hagu pulls towards...

Super story and character development.
The art is lovely as well.
a group of college students become friends and the story follows their individual progression as artists, friends, and at times, lovers.

Hagu makes rainbow rice balls for the flower viewing picnic, but while they are pretty they don't seem to taste good according to Mayama. Ayu's dad thinks the tea cozy she made was a hat for him.

Takemoto likes Hagu. Hagu likes Morita. Morita likes Hagu but went away because he has work to do. Away, and via airplane.

I'm still enjoying it - plenty of humor and pathos so far. Moving more and more toward the pathos side which feels about right at this point. Still 7 more volumes to go to see how it wraps up.
December 9, 2016
Didn't get through it as easily as the first two volumes. I liked it, but it felt kind of repetitive. I really did like the ending, though, so we'll have to see what volume four brings.
