Director: Kenji Yokoi (Takeshi Yokoi)
Year: 2009
Plot: “The second movie carries on off from the first. Takumi and Gii are now a couple and the envy of the whole school. However, their relationship becomes rocky when first year student Morita Tooru appears in the picture. Hayama Takumi begins to doubt Gii’s love, and thinks that his lover has given up on him and has moved on to Morita, a freshman student.”
I have to say that where the first movie was lacking, this one made up for. The love between the two star character is still cute. In this movie, the two go through a point where they are rather distant and not fully understanding the other’s view. This is a more real life like situation. Just about everyone has had those moments where jumping to a conclusion has led to some problems. The good thing is that they can be worked out for the better.
This movie also had it’s sad points as well. Some of those points were cause by the misunderstandings, but there was one that didn’t stem from our main two stars. That point stemmed from Suzuki-kun. I won’t say what the circumstances are exactly, but there is some issues that he goes through. I found it completely sad that he cared for someone who also cared for him, yet they weren’t going to be able to be together. It was sweet that the person he liked was able to use something that he learned because of Suzuki-kun to comfort him.
This one really was a pretty sweet movie, and it was nice to actually see the two kiss. They seemingly kissed in the first one too, but not in view of the camera, which always seems a waste. I also felt that it was good to see Gii show some major emotion. In the first one, though he showed some emotions, others were completely detached. In this one though he actually shows more emotions to Takumi.
I wouldn’t say this is the best movie I have seen. There are a few points that are still a little weak, but that doesn’t really take too much away from the movie itself. This was a rather good movie, and didn’t have much of the comic book-y feel that the first one did. Of course, we know there is no hope for this movie as far as anti-gay viewers go. BL (Boy’s Love) lovers should definitely find this movie good enough to waste about an hour and fifteen minutes on.
