Takumi-kun: Bibou no Detail - Japan

          Director:  Kenji Yokoi  (Takeshi Yokoi)
          Year:  2010
          Plot:  “This story takes place in Takumi and Gii's final year in high school.  Takumi is excited about seeing Gii again, but doesn't get to see him before after a few days.  When he finally gets to meet him, Gii has changed completely.  He's cold towards everyone and keeps a safe distance to Takumi.  He even started wearing glasses.  The shock of the sudden change brings back Takumi's people phobia again, and Takumi starts doubting everyone and everything again.”


          I wasn’t sure I was going to like this third installment.  The reason was that the description that was on one of my regular sites said that this movie was kind of strange and didn’t focus on their relationship at all.  Turns out there description had nothing to do with this movie.
          In this movie, there is a new crisis for our favorite couple to face.  That comes in the form of the new first years students, who are mostly the children of other powerful corporations.  It isn’t hard to see where a problem might come in with this.  All of the new students want to get close to Gii.  It would of course be problematic for Takumi in the situation as jealousy would likely arise.  Gii has a plan in place to try to protect Takumi, but it leads to much angst on Takumi’s part.
          I think that this movie was better than the previous installments.  I am not sure exactly what the reason is, but I just feel that this one was a step up.  I guess it also has to do with the fact that because of the situation, Takumi can’t really rely on Gii for support.  This leads to the fact that even without Gii, there is support for Takumi.  He has people around him who care about him and look out for him.
          I liked the fact that even though Takumi has people around him who care, he was still pretty distraught.  The reason I liked this point was because it showed how important Gii was too him even though he might be okay without him, he couldn’t stand that fact.  The ending was very intimate, and probably shouldn’t be watched where just anyone can see it.  Might have to end up having to explain about a Boy’s Love obsession to parents.  n.n


          I really did enjoy this one.  Though there was a lot of angst this movie also had its sweet moments.  Out of the parts I have watched so far, this is the part of the Takumi-kun series that I feel has been the most well done.   This one is definitely one to watch for BL lovers.  n.n
