Classmates

Kusakabe Hikaru is a high school junior at Touhu Daiichi Koukou. He wears earrings, colored his hair blonde, and smokes even though he is still a minor. He is a badly behaved student, but sociable. He is in a band with his friends at school.
One day, when Kusakabe was practicing for the chorus festival at school, he noticed that a student who was standing next to him, Sajou, was not singing but doing lip-synch.
Sajou and Kusakabe were in the same class, but they had never talked to each other before. Sajou Rihito was wearing glasses and was a good student. Unlike Kusakabe, Sajou always wears his school uniform properly. They were totally opposite types.
As a band member, Kusakabe likes music and singing. First he was annoyed that Sajou was not taking the chorus festival seriously because he might think it is meaningless.
However, on the same day, after school, Sajou was alone in a classroom to practice singing. Kusakabe started talking to Sajou for the first time.
“Do you want me to help your singing until the chorus festival?”
“I just could not see the music notes on the board because my glasses are not strong enough.” “I just wanted to practice alone after school because I don’t want be troublesome for the music teacher.” After hearing Sajou’s excuses, Kusakabe kindly offered to help him.
Kusakabe was not sure why he offered such a thing, but the surprised Sajou did not decline the offer and nodded quietly. So their practice started after school.
“I don’t think you can’t see the music notes. I think you can’t read it!”
“Hey, I can read it!”
They were getting to know each other and were able to talk freely. Kusakabe knew Sajou’s emotions from his expressions. Kusakabe used to think that Sajou is a typical honor student who is different from him, but now he started thinking that Sajou is a unique guy.
Kusakabe’s daily life has changed a bit. Usually he goes to school in the morning and practices with his band after school, but now the chorus practice was added.
Kusakabe was not sure what it is, but his feeling toward Sajou start growing gradually.
Their distance was getting closer. On the day of the chorus festival, finally they kissed each other and quietly started dating.
They both have to start thinking about their future after school. Sajou was suffering from a trauma that Kusakabe did not know about. Sajou was hoping to go to college. Kusakabe was hoping to be a musician. The two are on a different path. Kusakabe was trying to find the way.
The best part of this story is not simply a romance between two high school kids, but also to see how they grew into adults from their adolescence. Their growing process was described so delicately and vividly.
This is a classic BL manga! It is a beautiful story of describing two people moving between being a kid and an adult while in their adolescence. It’s a supreme BL manga! Highly recommended!
The main characters, Kusakabe and Sajou, are described in other manga. The stories of “Sotsugyousei” and “blanc” describe Kusakabe and Sajou’s life after they graduated from high school. Furthermore, Hara Manabu who is a sub character of “Doukyuusei”, and a music teacher, is the main character of a manga, “Sora to Hara”.
