Don't let the picture fool you. This anime will shock you with its beautiful music, dramatic storyline and deep characters. To be honest i didn't expect much of this anime but once i started watching, i couldn't stop.

This is one of the anime's which will leave you hooked. The one thing i like about this anime the most is the realistic story line and the ups and downs of friendships and romance. It shows how unpredictable life can be.

Plot: I didn't really like the ending but nevertheless. (8/10) 

Characters: Their personalities and pasts (8/10)

Graphics: Beautiful animation. Slightly bishonen male characters (9/10)

Music: No brainer (10/10)

This anime revolves mostly around jazz, friendships and romance. Me likey. But i still can't figure out whether  there is two protagonists or just one. Kaoru Nishimi comes off as a rich kid because of his stoic features and neat appearance.

Despite this, he manages to become friends with the school most feared delinquent; Sentaro Kawabuchi or known as Sen or Sen-boy. Surprisingly both of them become close friends. However when kaoru starts to like sen's childhood friend Ritsuko, the plot intensifies.

Add Sentaro falling in and out off love and Brother Jun whom he looked up to since childhood into the mix, you'll never stop watching. I enjoyed this anime and really like it. I recommend it to those who like romance, drama and friendship. :)

But the ending was slightly disappointing though because i expected it to more more intense and heart warming. It has a total of 12 episodes.
