11th episode is out and thats the final one for an amazing show. Honey and clover or Hachimitsu to Clover drama is an adaption from the popular anime series. I’m not gonna review the whole drama, you get some info HERE and HERE. What I want to emphasize here is the characters involved and some missing plots in the drama. No notes for the drama though since its too short.

Reviews is for the drama only as I dont really know the actor/actress from the movie. As you can see from the chart that I’ve made blindly above, there are some and some no resemblence within the anime, movie and drama characters. Takemoto’s role in the movie was damn tard boring, stiff as a log compared to one in the drama. Acted by Ikuta Toma (spotted in Hanazakari no Kimitachi e, this is a good drama - highly recommended), that is well known for his funny roles. Other noticeable characters is Hagumi by Narumi Riko (spotted in the Ruri no Shima series - note the 2 totally different roles done by her) and she’s a really sweet darling. Morita is the next, actor is Narimiya Hiroki (spotted as Nobu in the Nana movie series) both with the same characteristics - big mouth. Another familiar face is Yamada’s father, Yamada Daigoro by Izumiya Shigeru (spotted in Dr. Koto Shinryojo).

There’s no Fujiwara bothers (LOL, hard gay anyone?) in the drama series, but there is a bimbo that acted as Morita’s sales agent. Another weird character here is Romaya senpai that appears out from nowhere and everytime that happens, it really gives me the creeps.

Other than that, the drama is awesomely good, the production company manage to squeeze two seasons of the anime into just 11 episodes of drama, where I’m not happy at all about that. There are some major plots that is missing from the drama series compared to the anime that is :

1. Morita and his brothers plan to take over back their father’s company
2. The cheeky scene where Mayama spend a night with Rika together when they went to search for Rika’s husband birth place. In the anime (towards the end) they show only 1 bed that obviously being shared by them together with Mayama woke up without any clothes on compared to the drama where there is two separate beds.

Highly recommended.
