A change in the stakeout team throws Onoe, reporter for a weekly magazine, together with his contemporary, Kaburagi, a photographer. Onoe secretly considers Kaburagi his rival, and Kaburagi's haphazard way of doing things goes against Onoe's strong sense of ethics. There's nothing but conflict between them. But, in joint pursuit of a scandal, the two of them begin to care about each other...? ~~ Adapted from the manga "Ameiro Paradox" by Natsume Isaku
They're both super enjoyable to watch even though they have very different plots. They're fun and have a bit of comedy and the characters are really likeable! I feel like they have some really sweet moments in each show too. I loved 'Kamisama no Ekohiiki' and I'm really enjoying 'Fukou-kun wa Kiss Suru Shikanai!', so I think you'll like each show if you enjoyed one of them.
Both stories feature thoughtful and realistic depictions of teenagers dealing with issues of love and identity in general, as well as the complications of falling in love with your best friend specifically.
Kamisama no Ekohiiki explores some deeper, more philosophical topics as well and generally has slightly higher production value, but both shows are incredibly wholesome and gentle, and frankly perfect for a cozy weekend spent cuddled up on the couch.
