Both are good cliche shoujo romantic drama stories. The simplistic and sincere art and storytelling distinguish them from others in way that the emotions slowly but deeply seeps into the heart. The story is the same in the sense that both characters are in mutual love, but circumstances of the guy pull them apart. Specifically, the death of someone that makes the guy 1.) broken - blaming their self, unable to trust and love again 2.) sympathetic of others (girl-potential hindrance) who share the same experience, feeling responsibility, unable to leave them. And all this while, the girl is left confused and hurting - so another guy comforts her. Fate plays a major role in their so-near-yet-so-far relationships.

Venus Capriccio is a musical story. It may not have the intense rivalry between kei and hikari but you'll find some nostalgic things as you read through.
