Doukyusei -Classmates-

About the story

It is summer, and Tofu Daiichi High School is preparing to hold a choral festival. During after-school choir practice, Hikaru Kusakabe (voiced by Hiroshi Kamiya), a second-year student in Class A, notices that his classmate Rihito Sajo (voiced by Kenji Nojima), a top student, is not singing. Kusakabe initially assumes that such a model student looks down on choir activities, but after school that day, he finds Sajo staying behind in the classroom to practice alone. Almost without thinking, the musically gifted Kusakabe offers to help him practice singing. After spending many days together, Kusakabe gradually finds himself drawn to the earnest Sajo, yet remains troubled by the thought that Sajo is working so hard to learn to sing for someone else. On the day of the choral festival, Kusakabe suddenly loses control of his emotions and runs out in the middle of the performance. Seeing this, Sajo anxiously follows him. In the deserted school grounds, the two finally confirm their feelings for each other. Summer is drawing to a close, but the poem of their youth has only just begun. Doukyusei -Classmates- is a theatrical animated film produced by A-1 Pictures, adapted from Asumiko Nakamura's manga of the same name.
