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 know what you mean about classifying it as shouojo.  Irregardlessly, it's a fantastic drama/romance/comedy, and anyone who likes shoujo should watch it.  A lot of people I know, including myself, kind of got bored around 5 eps in and stopped watching - resist that temptation and keep watching it.  You won't regret it.
