Honey and Clover (Japanese: ハチミツとクローバー, Hepburn: Hachimitsu to Kurōbā)[a] is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Chica Umino. It was serialized in Takarajimasha's shōjo manga magazine Cutie Comic from 2000 to 2001, before being transferred to Shueisha's josei manga magazines Young You (2001–2005) and Chorus (2005–2006); its chapters were collected in ten tankōbon volumes. The series depicts the lives and relationships of a group of art school students who live in the same apartment building.
An anime television series adaptation produced by J.C.Staff was broadcast for two seasons on Fuji TV. The first 24-episode season aired from April to September 2005; the second 12-episode season aired from June to September 2006. It is also the first show to premiere on the Noitamina programming block. The series was also adapted into a live-action film premiered in July 2006, and two separate live-action television dramas in 2008, one broadcast in Japan on Fuji TV from January to March 2008, and the other broadcast in Taiwan on CTS from May to August of the same year.
The Honey and Clover manga has had over 8.5 million copies in circulation. In 2004, the manga won the 27th Kodansha Manga Award in the shōjo category. It also topped the Kono Manga ga Sugoi! list for female readers in 2006 and 2007.
