Honey and Clover

Shot in the dark but anyone else following this series?

I didn't bother with any of the shows this year but there was a Honey and Clover wallpaper thread on 4ch and the art caught my eye.  Interested me enough to grab an episode and have enjoyed what I've seen of it since.

In a way, it feels like a Genshikan of the drama genre, in that light hearted self-parodying way.  The love story is pretty much light shoujo fair but the comedy itself tends to be more clean-cut shounen/otaku style than shoujo.  (All relatively speaking of course).  The art is pretty up there too, very nice and soft palette.

I would recommend this series to anyone who enjoyed Marimite and wouldn't mind a much less serious drama series.  I hesitate to categorise this series as shoujo though, it seems more like a light-shoujo series made for guys.

I dunno, I didn't really find it to be that much of a break from shoujo in terms of humor. There are a lot of shows for girls that use that sort of slapstick pacing, like Fruits Basket, for example. Gakuen Alice and Kodocha are like that as well. Granted, those shows are kind of the exception rather than the rule, but still...

dude, "irregardless" isn't a word. It's a comedy psuedointellectual term made up by a bunch of yahoos in the 1920s.

The show is introduced with a mail lead, but the two women in the show really serve as more of a focal point for the plot.
