both of these are cute and light-hearted series about a silly and ridiculous delinquent who starts getting tutored by a kind and mild-mannered older guy. all about slowly sparking a change and moving towards a specific goal. neither is too overt in their romance aspect
A five-piece (I'm counting Matsuda Go as the fifth member in "Crime Family") family constellation made up of mysterious individuals that may or may not be hiding things. Both series are dark comedies centered around crime. Both have leads who are swindlers and burglars. Found family trope. Questions like "What makes a real family?", "Is it necessary for a family to stay together simply because of blood relation?" and "What is the purpose/significance/value of a family?" are evaluated. And finally: both are underrated gems!
