Dou kyu sei – Classmates

In a world where academic excellence is often revered above all else, and popularity can open doors to success, two seemingly polar-opposite characters find themselves drawn together by an unexpected connection: music. Rihito Sajo, the quintessential model student with impeccable grades, and Hikaru Kusakabe, a charismatic band member adored by girls, wouldn't have crossed paths under ordinary circumstances. However, their shared love for music and the mutual desire to excel in it brings them together.As they practice for the school's chorus festival, Rihito, initially hesitant and lacking confidence in his vocal abilities, begins to blossom under Hikaru's guidance and encouragement. The bond between them grows stronger as they harmonize their voices and synchronize their heartbeats. This heartwarming story of friendship, personal growth, and the transformative power of music serves as a gentle reminder that sometimes, it's not where we come from or what we initially appear to be that defines us; it's who we become through our experiences and the connections we make along the way.
