Similar to Doukyuusei, this anime features:
- two male protagonists who are very different from each other; one is smart, reserved, wealthy, and a bit of a loner, while the other is eccentric, lively, poor, and a bit of a troublemaker. The two of them are classmates, and they are both misunderstood. As a result of their opposite personalities and lifestyles, they foil one another and grow closer as the story progresses.
- musical themes. The two male protagonists develop their friendship through their common passion for jazz music.
- plenty of feels and romance. Unlike Doukyuusei, it's not shounen ai, but you can certainly view it

They both have a very natural, easy going school-time, summer-vibes type atmosphere, and both shows put a lot of emphasis on character dynamics and do a good job of capturing the overall feel of being a young and in love.
