* Honey and Clover is a drama adaptation of the Japanese manga Hachimitsu to Kuroba. It was first aired in FujiTV from January to March 2008.

It’s spring time and cherry blossoms are all over Hamadayama Art University where we meet Takemoto Yuta, a third year architecture major.

Takemoto sees Hanamoto Hagumi picking up cherry blossoms beside the pond. Hagumi is a freshman student who went to Tokyo to study oil painting. Takemoto is taken by Hagumi although he fails to speak to her. Before leaving, Takemoto loses a button from his sweatshirt.
