Why then is a shounen anime good?
Independently inserted The main character, Yaguchi, is a model musician who spent the majority of his career playing in safe waters and disregarding his true calling. Since this is true for almost everyone, it is easy to root for Yaguchi from the beginning and desire to follow his journey.
The competitor that MC finds just as fascinating, if not more so:I thought they would make it just a running meme, which is fine with me, but no, they take this subject very seriously. Ryuuji dresses like a girl because he wants to avoid being attention-seeking, and it was a very mature perspective that the show took. As it doesn't affect the main plot, I'll go ahead and say this: "Ryuuji is a guy."
