Honey and Clover

Yuta thinks back over what's happened in the years since he first met and fell in love with Hagu.

Ayumi starts a project with Rika, and finds it both pleasant and torturous to observe how she and Takumi work together.

After Ayumi is badly shaken by the news that Takumi will be traveling abroad with Rika, Nomiya realizes the depths of his feelings for her.

Shu's memories reveal the reason for Rika's obsession with the moon, and Takumi takes a pivotal trip with Rika to her old home in Hokkaido.

For Ayumi, the scent of fragrant olives brings back bittersweet memories of longing for Takumi, but also the possibility of new happiness in the future.

We start to learn why Shinobu is obsessed with making money, while Hagu's desire to do more as an artist conflicts with her desire not to burden Professor Shu.

Shinobu's brother Kaoru recollects how their father's business was taken away, and prepares to retake it with the money made by his genius brother.

While the Morita brothers spring into action, tragedy strikes the talented artist Hagu.

As Hagu begins rehabilitation to regain use of her right hand, Yuta realizes that he can't be the one there for her to depend on.

Worried about Shinobu's absence, Ayumi has Takumi pass on to him the news about Hagu - but what will the mercurial genius do in response?

Shinobu has whisked Hagu away, and told her that she doesn't need to paint, that her just being there is enough for him - but is it enough for her?

As Professor Hanamoto and the other stragglers prepare to move on from art school, Yuta ponders how love can bring meaning to life, even when unrequited.
