A review by louandlife
Honey and Clover, Vol. 1 by Chica Umino

3.0

I don't know how I originally found out about this series, but I ended up buying it second hand when I did a large purchase from one of my favourite sellers on eBay. This manga was quite underwhelming, and it kinda felt wrong to read. It seems like a Lolita type book because of how the female love interest is presented. I think she's 18, but she's characterised like a 6 year old in how she acts and behaves and it didn't feel right with two of the guys crushing on her. I would have preferred it if the main female character wasn't dressed and acted like a younger girl that she was. In terms of the plot, I felt like not a lot happened. I wasn't invested in this book so I won't be continuing with the series and I'll end up unhauling it.
