Both series has a variety of classic shoujo tropes including the interconnecting relationships of the two main characters. The main female protagonist has a gentle heart while we see how their lives unfold after meeting an older guy. Both series' romance has a slow progress but there is strong connection that is developed as each chapter unfolds. There is also a certain degree of realism as both series' main male protagonist holds professional occupations.
