content
At the Hojo Academy ( 蜂 城 学院 , Hōjō gakuin ) there is not only the normal classes but also the “Kugeka” ( 九華 besucht ), which is only attended by wealthy students. Each of the Kugeka students (“Masters”) chooses a “Honey” from the other students who will make his school days easier for him. The honey is paid the school fee for this.
When Yuzuru Hagino ( 萩 乃 柚 留 ) comes to the Hojo Academy, she meets Kai Renge ( 煉 夏 可 威 ). Soon afterwards he makes her his honey, against her will. But there is nothing she can do about it, otherwise she would have to leave school. So she has to endure his sometimes condescending behavior and is also soon annoyed by Chihaya Yurioka ( 百合 丘 千 駿 ). Finally Kai helps her and soon she falls in love with him.

reception
According to Animania , the series offers little new to those who know the author: the style, appearance and behavior of the main characters and the master-and-servant motif resemble Kanan Minami's older series Gib mir Liebe! . There are also typical genre elements such as "dreamy flower and cloud background patterns and SD inserts " . Nevertheless, fans of the illustrator and older Shōjo readers are "well advised" with Honey × Honey Drops .
