   The second book is the real "raising a child" story; the others are all talent show novels with no female lead.

The book is probably about friendship, with some ambiguous romantic elements.

   Both are male-centric novels, but they're really good. The first two are by the same author. 1. The first one is a "raising" story (starting from age ten), an ensemble piece with incredibly talented and beautiful characters, each with their own unique charm. The stage descriptions are excellent, and the songs are great. The emotional storylines are mainly developed later on. Highly recommended. 2. The second one features a very charming male lead who is an adult from the start. The emotional storylines are more extensive than in the first one, and there are connections between the first two. 3. The third one is shorter than the first two, with a simple and vivid writing style. It focuses on everyday life but also includes stage scenes. I've already reread it twice!
