A heartwarming tale of youth, love, soul-searching, and self-discovery, intricately woven through the complex relationships between five friends at an arts college.

Yuta Takemoto is a student at an art college and pays cheap rent for an apartment in an old shabby house...

I just saw the moment when a person falls in love for the first time. Oh boy

Honey and Clover (Original Japanese)

Takemoto and Mayama soon discover Hagu's artistic talents. They, as well as Hagu, discover Morita's website which contains a collection of pictures featuring Hagu. Hagu gets upset and throws random objects at Morita, which included her wish list.

I panicked a little when I saw Hagu-chanhey, wait / The two affections start to turn

It is late summer. Takemoto, Mayama, and Morita are coming back from an evening bath when Takemoto receives a phone call from Hagu inviting them all over for dinner the next evening.

Hey. Why me? / These were two unrequited loves

Mayama continues to battle over his feelings for Rika and his feelings for Yamada. Meanwhile, Hagu is overwhelmed by other people's expectations of her artistic ability.

Actually, I don't like Christmas all that much / They boy and girl are swayed

Takemoto goes home to visit Mitsuko Aida, his mother, for the first time in a while. Takemoto's father died years before, and Takemoto does not like Kazuo Aida, his mother's love interest.

Yeah ...I'm home / Thinking of mother back home

Takemoto, Hagu, Morita, Mayama, Yamada, and Professor Hanamoto go to the zoo. Professor Hanamoto talks to Mayama and tells him about Rika's husband. Professor Hanamoto lived with Rika her husband, and was very close to both of them.

Hey, Yamada, how come you fell in love with a guy like me? / The past, the tears, the confession

Professor Hanamoto is offered to travel with his old teacher for one year to gather research and survey material for a new book, and offers to bring Hagu along for the trip.

Hagu, let's go together / We look for a miracle

Yamada has moved in with Hagu, and the two invite Takemoto, Morita, and Mayama over for a strange dinner. It's shown to humorous effect that Hagu and Professor Hanamoto greatly miss each other.

Yeah... that's far / I couldn't leave you alone

Morita makes and discreetly gives Hagu a brooch she wanted, while Takemoto fights feelings of jealousy and whether or not to tell Hagu who gave the brooch to her.

Did she notice? Why is it that I don't tell her? / That brooch was so heavy

After the school festival and Christmas passes by, the entire group goes on an outing by going on a water taxi ride along the Sumida River. On there, Mayama reveals to Takemoto he knows about Takemoto's feelings toward Hagu and tells him to not give up.

It's not something you can just throw away that easily, is it? / We cross the sky

Takemoto and Yamada talk about Mayama's future and how Hagu has grown before they are interrupted by Professor Hanamoto's sudden and early return from his trip to Mongolia.

That wasn't fun at all / Love pushes us around

It is spring again. The whole group attend the annual school festival. Some of them tell stories about what happened recently to them, while others think of their loved ones. Later on the next day, Hagu is still in an uncomfortable mood.

You idiot, what are you thinking?! / The sudden kiss, the unexpected parting

Takemoto, Morita, Mayama, and Professor Hanamoto all reminisce about Lohmeyer, a friend of theirs. In a flashback, it is revealed that he is a large, bulky guy, and known for his generosity and his kindness.

What was I expecting her to say? / All I wanted to hear was that little thing

Mayama dreams of Rika. One of his co-workers, Miwako Teshigawara, says that when one dreams of another, it is because the person in the dream wants them to meet so much that the soul escapes the body and comes to the dream.

I met with her in my dream / I touched her in my dream

Mayama's work is going well with his co-workers. Miwako noticed how well Mayama and Nomiya potted bowls. But this leads to Mayama discussing to his co-workers about his feelings toward Yamada. Yet he still misses Rika.

Rika-san. Is it possible that Harada Design might still have work for me? / An unfair me begins to run

Nomiya tells Miwako that the firm will split into two locations. One will stay in Tokyo, while the other will move to Tottori. Nomiya intentionally wants Mayama to go to the firm in Tottori.

The third answer doesn't even reach my lips / The moon is calling her

If Morita-san came back What would she...? Then... / He came back

Before Mayama starting working at the Fujiwara Design Office, Miwako becomes upset to see Yamazaki in a fashion magazine. It is explained that Miwako bought a shirt for Yamazaki as a practical joke device.

You are the king of fashion / Fujiwara Design SPECIAL is this sort of story

Unbelievable... It's a nine-hour drive! / I don't want to see your tears

I was the first one who couldn't take it any longer. I knew that, at least / I won't let you go anywhere

Oh, God. Please help her... / I reflect on my own powerlessness
