Normal and Boring.

"Reckon no matter how you choose to live, there'll always be things you regret, and there'll always be things you gain from it, but right now, leaving you is not an option" - Kusakabe Hikaru, Doukyuusei.

"You're here, that's all that matters" - Sajou Rihito, Doukyuusei.

Shards of memory with a brilliant radiance,
In a round of seasons,
Two boys' hearts are changing,
They grow mature by accepting all of each other,
Spring has come.

Asumiko Nakamura, Sotsugyousei.

The books made by same author, Asumiko Nakamura-sensei, are Doukyusei, its sequel, Sotsugyousei and the spin-off, Sora to Hara. I've always read things like this, but never encountered such dull and boring storyline, but the author came back to basics where love is innocent and pure in high schools. The plot was slow, and readers can feel the spirit of bittersweet youth that tickles us from inside and leaves our fingers shaking. Thinking, "aaah, I wanted to feel like this also.."

Doukyuusei, first season.

Sotsugyousei, second season.

Sotsugyousei, third season. Graduation.

Sora to Hara, spin-off where it revolves around Hara-sensei aka Seku-Hara and Sorano, a new student.

The drawings aren't too expressive, simple, and not dramatic at all. It's a story of steps in being adults, which everyone experience in life. It's beautiful as it is.
