Doukyuusei anime visual:
The boys love manga is one volume in length and was serialized in Opera magazine between July 2006 and July 2007. It received a sequel three months later, titled Sotsugyousei, which completed in August 2009 with two volumes. The manga was also adapted to a live action movie in 2008.
Doukyuusei synopsis from Haruhichan:
The story begins during music class before the chorus festival, when male student Kusakabe Hikaru notices that the bespectacled honor student Sajo Rihito is not singing.
Although he thinks that Rihito just doesn’t like singing, he finds him practicing alone in the classroom after school.
Without even thinking, Hikaru calls out to him.
