He’s obviously just there for comedic purposes. We have a new character by the name of Tani, although he’s more like a side character than anything and has a completely nonexistent character design. Now that we know them well enough, the real meat of the story can begin. The prequel was more of an introduction to our primary characters. In essence, it is more of a coming of age piece of fiction than Doukyuusei was. Kusakabe and Sajou are in the midst of growing up and deciding upon their career paths, and the manga attempts to shed light on their issues and troubles as they do so. Speaking of fleshed out, both our mains as well as Hara-sensei get some development. I will say that the backgrounds this time around seem to be a bit more fleshed out. The anatomy is a bit weird in some places. It is the same as it ever was – stylistic, original, pretty, but still lacking in details. lighthearted, pleasant story at heart, with a bit more plot that manages to raise my opinion of this instalment as a whole. What Sotsugyousei does differently from its predecessor is that it sheds a small amount of light on the difficulties of being a gay couple in Japan, although probably not as seriously as it could have. Yes, our two main leads are still very much in love and still very much pushing forward. Needless to say, we are reunited with Sajou and Kusakabe, as well as Hara, for some more shenanigans regarding their relationship. As such, it's naturally pertinent for you to read Doukyuusei before progressing to Sotsugyousei. Sotsugyousei is a yaoi manga by Nakamura Asumiko, and is a direct sequel to Doukyuusei.
