Doukyuusei

In "Classmates," Hikaru Kusakabe embraces a carefree lifestyle centered around music, partying, and smoking. His classmate, Rihito Sajou, is the complete opposite—an exceptional student who consistently ranks first in his class and achieved a perfect score on his high school entrance exam. While preparing for a choir festival, Kusakabe notices Sajou struggling with singing and offers to help him practice. They begin a routine of daily after-school practice sessions. Despite their vastly different lifestyles, the two gradually develop a deep connection and begin to experience romantic feelings for each other. As they navigate their final year of high school and consider their futures, Kusakabe and Sajou must face their evolving emotions and support one another through this transformative time.
