One of the best slice of life shows ever made, each is its own film really. A love letter to high school and youth with almost every episode having some deeper themes about what it means to be a man, to grow up, and to live. It's lighthearted and laidback for the most part but takes itself seriously. It's not so much a comedy as a pure slice of life, just segments of the lives of these budding adults as they live their final year in high school. Manly guys doing quite manly things yet still being kids. If you're struggling to find it, Inka-Subs isthe one who has done the fan subs of the bluray.

It's a teenage drama that really encapsulates and oozes the 80's, visually it's one of my favorites due to how much it feels like a painting of a 60's diner come to life with 80's stylings. It starts strong and largely only gets better in its visual styling. It's got that incredible use of contrast and color in all of the best ways. It'll punch you with nostalgia, even if you've never had any about the period or never lived through it. It's one of those that really just paints the period so well.

The only episode I can call weak is episode 10, which has some quite painful Engrish in it and is the least developed plot wise.

If you want a very genuine, ernest slice of life, of 18 year old rock-n-rollers and grease monkeys set to 1980's Japan, this is your show.
