I personally think that Honey and Clover II is more sad than the first one, but both are truley amazing. The storyline for Honey and Clover II is just utterly brilliant. Unexpected situations would come upon the characters and things just get so complicated, and it makes the story overall just plain sad. Love and family problems set the characters on a run, but they soon overcome them. I just love this anime so much that I can watch it over and over again without getting tired of it.
I would advise someone to watch this because after watching the first Honey and Clover, you would think that this one would be the same, am I right? Honey and Clover II is a very sad story in my opinion. A few episodes made me cry so much. I advise you to watch this because it's just utterly brilliant. Watch this and I think you would like this anime, too.
