Yeah, but my gut feeling tells me that Stars was merely an "experimental phase" where Bandai tried to implement more mature and darker themes into the storyline. When that didn't work out as expected, Friends was conceived so as to return to a more light-hearted storyline; at least that's what my gut is telling me.
