Fan Reception of Honey Lemon Soda

Typically, Shojo anime tend to have smaller budgets than their more popular Shounen counterparts; however, public responses towards the series “Honey Lemon Soda” on social media have predominantly been favorable so far.

This production has provided a satisfactory animation, accompanied by an excellent soundtrack. Remarkably, the type of narrative often doesn’t require a substantial budget to execute effectively. It appears that Hiroshi Nishikiori (from “A Certain Magical Index”) is skilled at handling this series well.
