Honey and Clover, Vol. 6

With graduation projects in full swing, Takemoto and Hagu are face-to-face with their future. Takemoto is still unclear about what he wants to do, and his complete lack of job prospects isn't helping. Hagu just wants to return to her home in the country to paint on her own time. But her professors and some of her friends are aghast at what they consider a waste of her talent. With pressure mounting from the outside world, what life-altering choices will these two make?
