Not your normal (boy love) story. These two are equals in their own rights. There is an age difference but honestly the junior is more mature than the older love interest. He is open with his feelings for the older man, while the older one is denying his true self. He is not in the closet per say yet he is too held back to ever live the life he wants.

I am a straight female so don't understand (hating) yourself for having feelings for the same sex. But I know this is all too real. I really liked how this anime addressed how conflicting it is to have feelings for someone our society might not approve of. This story is sweet and tender and even throws in some humor when these two finally get together. The sex scene made me laugh with how realistic and awkward it is the first time you are with anyone. Sorry if there are too many spoilers in this review but wanted to share my thoughts on it.

I had been eagerly waiting for this movie for a long time, and I finally got to watch it yesterday. By far, one of the best BL stories I've ever seen. It doesn't fetishize their relationship and shows genuine romance between the two characters, neither of them being bland in personality or too pushy like in a lot of BL stories. What really made it for me was the concept that it's not always easy being lgbt, and sometimes it is very difficult to accept and it's not always going to be sunshines and rainbows in terms of accepting that about yourself. The art style was also gorgeous, there wasn't a single scene that felt sloppy or lacking; some of the scenery left me in awe. I heavily recommend this movie, not only for the cute romance but also for a breath of fresh air if you're looking for a new type of story. I definitely plan to watch it again.
