It's an all boys school life story with the two never having crossing paths with each other until Kusakabe offers to help Sajou prepare for the chorus festival at their school.

Really, it's good that the aesthetics can carry the movie, because the characters can be frustrating and the plot is feeble at best.I was not disappointed. The story is simple, of two high school boys and their blooming love. Or as the manga itself says:

I only wrote this review just in case because I wouldn't like to see the name of this title get a bad reputation. If you're just watching this randomly and know nothing about the VN or 90s version then it won't matter or if you're just watching it for other reasons... The plot was also not necessarily new or original. It was in a boys highschool and the cause of issues was mostly silly jealousy and keeping a secret. At the same time it was well executed and perhaps not a bad choice for a boys love film. The issues were kept simple and clean, but dramatic, and the way it was shown was artsy and interesting in a way that the plot was still entertaining despite not being original. There was a dream scene near the end that I really liked that was an example of little flourishes added to make this movie so entertaining despite its simplicity. Perfect description. I thought it was very sweet and tender. I like the art, especially how Kusakabe was drawn. He's my favourite character too, he's just so eager, open and awesome, compared to shy little Sajou. They have to face their own fears being with each other. Sajou preparing for his big upcoming entrance examination and his fear of travelling in trains not to give up on exams like on many occasions before while Kusakabe trying to figure out how to deal with the changes both of them are facing together.Hodgkins, Crystalyn (May 21, 2016).

The series is noted as a departure from Nakamura's earlier and subsequent works, such as Double Mints [ ja] and Kaori no Keishou, which typically focus on darker themes and erotic subject material. [7] [9] Nakamura has stated that she had created "aesthetically pleasing works" with "soft images" prior to the publication of Classmates, but did not have the opportunity to publish them. [7] In Classmates, Nakamura stated that she wished to balance the exaggerated romance elements typical of BL with elements of realism, particularly in regards to LGBT issues and identity. [7]

Chapman, Jacob (May 5, 2016). "Review: Doukyusei -Classmates- Blu-Ray". Anime News Network . Retrieved February 19, 2020. Art (9/10): Doukyuusei has a very unique kind of artstyle. I personally think it works PERFECTLY with the movie and the characters but you'll have to see it for yourself. Overall: If you're looking for a hardcore yaoi movie then you'll be disappointed because this movie is very romantic and REAL. You can easily feel the characters and understand their actions because they're very relatable. It starts as rather peculiar, and the animation can seem very unusual at first, but the story ads up to it. The characters and their interactions are more than enough to give the overall movie a 9/10 or even a 10/10.

Since 2008, a series of audio drama CDs that adapt the manga have been produced by A+, a division of Comic House [ ja].
