Synopsis

A country girl in the big city, Yu doesn't quite understand just how hard it is to make it big.

Art 9/10: At first I didn't really care for the animation, I thought it was drawn read more

Both have similar style, art, both have theater and love.

Both series are about college age women discovering a career that they love and devoting themselves to it, both have romantic subplots that develop slowly in the background and both have very similar artwork. If you liked one, you should definitely try the other.
