- One of the leads/love interest has piercings - Comedy, High School, Slice of Life, Romance - About the love lives of the two leads, while lightly touching on the other character's love lives - Good sub and dub - In both series, characters struggle to be themselves, and it does become a part of the story line (Acceptance) - Similar character archetypes can be seen in the leads - In both of these animes, it's clear to me, that the creators did not want this to be your average Romance/BL: They wanted it to be more genuine. So, not over the top, but of course it still uses common tropes every now and then. The tropes used, imho, were not toxic or harmful-- other than the miscommunication to slow down the pacing, that was dreadful... /nsrs - The characters have a lot of personality and there is a lot of logic and RELATABLE-ness that comes from these animes. I 100% recommend both of these animes.
