Yuuta Takemoto, a sophomore at an arts college, lives in a modest apartment with two seniors: the quirky Shinobu Morita, who continually failing to graduate owing to his absence, and the practical Takumi Mayama, who acts as Takemoto's legitimate senior, frequently watching out for him. Takemoto had given little attention to his future until one lovely spring day, when he meets the adorable Hagumi Hanamoto and falls in love at first sight. Hagumi, who is very skilled in the arts, enrolls at Takemoto's university and quickly befriends popular ceramics student Ayumi Yamada. Ayumi is already familiar with the three flatmates and has strong affections for one of them. Hachimitsu to Clover is a joyful, delicately woven story of youth, love, soul-searching, and self-discovery.
