Sajou is an honor student with perfect scores in every subject on his high school entrance exam. Kusakabe plays guitar in his band that performs at live events and is popular among the girls. These boys would have never crossed paths. But one day Kusakabe offers to help Sajou prepare for their upcoming chorus festival and the two begin to talk. As the two meet after school, they bond through songs and begin to harmonize as their hearts beat together.
It starts out slowly but soon their feelings for one another grow and suddenly they both realize that they are in love. Kusakabe's emotions are frivolous, pure and direct causing Sajou to hesitate at first, but he gradually opens his heart. The boys learn about each other, as well as themselves, as they support one another during this difficult time in their youth.
As the time to start thinking about their futures approaches, what do these young men find as they try to move forward...

Where it came from
Doukyuusei, released in 2016, originated as an adaptation of the popular boys' love manga series written and illustrated by Asumiko Nakamura. Produced by A-1 Pictures under the Half H.P. Studio banner, the film was directed by Shoko Nakamura. The project aimed to translate Nakamura's distinctive, delicate art style—characterized by sparse linework and expressive, gestural character movements—into the medium of animation, necessitating a deliberate and minimalist visual approach to maintain the emotional intimacy of the original work.
Upon its release, the film was widely praised for its aesthetic fidelity to the source material and its atmospheric score by guitarist Kotaro Oshio. Critics and fans noted that the film successfully captured the quiet, burgeoning romance between two high school classmates through its unconventional, airy animation style. It remains a hallmark of the genre, distinguished by its focus on character development and subtle narrative pacing rather than traditional tropes, cementing its status as a significant work in contemporary Japanese animation.
