Honey Lemon Soda is a beautiful soft, and fuzzy anime. Lovely coming-of-age romance, though slightly predictable. The way Ishimori is such a soft, and overly emotional character is a refreshing scene to see. Her character growth while staying this shy girl is incredibly wholesome, peaks of confid...

Honey Lemon Soda - I was intrigued by the title when I started watching it. The premise seemed quite refreshing too. But as the anime progressed, I couldn't hold it together whenever Ishimori cried, and my god she cries a river everytime. Although I do understand her awkwardness but Miura drives ...

Disclaimer - This review is going to be biased as I have been reading and collecting Honey Lemon Soda since 2015. Hence, this manga and its characters are very dear to my heart. If you are looking for a classic shoujo anime with the nostalgic trope of a bullied, damsel-in-distress heroine who wan...

if you're looking for a light and simple slice of life shoujo with a bit of drama mixed in, I think this is perfect. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, some may think it's cringe-worthy but honestly you can't judge MC's actions probably unless you've been in the same level of anxiety or years o...

Honey Lemon Soda is a catfishing scam on this dating app called Jc Staff. You can think of this production as two animes in one, because episodes 1-6 are one, while episodes 7-12 are a completely different one. The anime starts out like that ideal person you meet on a dating app. You feel a genui...

I came for the unique class-wide chemistry and stayed for the sweet, positive vibe that only this show captures; yet Miura’s cringe-worthy lines, Ishimori’s non-stop tears, and the jarring, budget-starved stylistic detour in episode 11 kept pulling me out. It’s a flawed, cliché-strewn shoujo that...

The side characters are more likable than the mains and the heroine’s family conflict briefly sparks interest, but those minor positives are drowned out by relentless second-hand embarrassment, a single-episode resolution that wastes the only promising arc, and leads who feel shallow next to bett...

Great animation and absolutely fantastic opening and ending themes almost justify the watch on their own, delivering an uplifting story of a loner finally finding friends. Unfortunately, most of the drama happened off-screen, leaving me disconnected from the supporting cast and underwhelmed by th...

A light, simple slice-of-life shoujo whose realistic depiction of social anxiety and gradual self-improvement sets it a notch above many peers, even if some may find it cringe-worthy. While only “a bit above average” in the crowded genre, its gentle charm and occasional blush-worthy moments make ...

The first six episodes deliver beautiful character development with Uka's journey from bullying victim to confident individual, supported by strong lead chemistry that carries the old-school slowburn romance. Everything collapses in episodes 7-12 as the story abandons all character growth, forces...

This anime has a differential of other school anime, is worth the time invested Although in some situations he follows a very predictable course, in general he will leave his heart hot The development of the characters is gradual. Get ready to cling to more than one character. That's right! This ...

I was so so upset about the end and the story in general...Like the MC pissed me off so bad, I know life is though but like it was just so annoying to see her every time. I was disappointed, it was boring as hell, the only good thing might be the male lead's apparitions but that's all. I also lik...

A school anime that stands apart by giving every classmate room to grow, warming your heart as their arcs unfold. Some plot turns stay predictable and a few clichés sneak through, yet the gradual character evolution keeps you invested. Recommended overall. The protective classmate’s sudden, gut-w...

Honey Lemon Soda is a soft, fuzzy coming-of-age romance whose shy heroine Ishimori delivers refreshingly wholesome growth without losing her gentle heart. Though the plot is slightly predictable and development unhurried, every episode lands “just right,” and the loving side cast turns the famili...

Short, sweet, and undeniably cute, the show still feels rushed and surface-level, skimping on character depth and brushing past emotional climaxes in seconds. The nagging suspicion that the manga delivers a fuller, more intense rom-com experience keeps undercutting whatever enjoyment its brief ch...

Similar to Horimiya, a lot of the drama surrounding the main character is stuff that occurred off screen and in the past, so the show is more so the aftermath of a character whose spent their whole life in darkness and solitude finally finding friends and discovering the will to live. It's very u...

(Coming from someone who didn’t read the manga) It was short. It was sweet. It was cute- but it did leave me thinking, “the manga must be pretty good.” Which isn’t a good thing in this matter. Sadly, I felt like the anime was rushed and left much to be desired. I can assume the manga is well flus...

When I started watching this I remember being creeped out by their eyes (trademark of the manga it seems) and after hearing some of Miura's lines I was thinking "Oh, my God, why is this so bad?!". I don't even know how I got to episode 2 as I was seeing it week by week. But now that it ended, I a...

Honey Lemon Soda delivers an inspiring, beautifully paced story of Ishimori’s blossoming from bullying victim to brave heroine, wrapped in a fluttery, heartwarming romance. Every character pops with personality, and the season ends on a deeply satisfying note that already fulfills expectations. W...
