All bow before Great Kiyoi!!!

I loved the first season! It came out about the same time as Kieta Hatsuko and while I dropped KH after the first episode, I loved My Beautiful Man. It felt real. It was painful and emotional and full of life, real life.
So I was happy to see the sequel but was quickly reluctant to watch when I kept reading reviews and comments all saying same old same old.
This is the story of Hira and Kiyoi frome high school until university graduation. Hira is a shy, self conscious and servile boy/man completely devoted to adoration of his god, his schoolmate Kiyoi, a beautiful man and an actor.Kiyoi hides feeling of insecurity behind his beauty and popularity and accepts Hiras devotion gladly. But when Hira tells him that he will never have to meet his parents, Kiyoi is deeply hurt which starts to shake their weird relationship.

While the first season focused solely on Hira and his adoration of Kiyoi, in this one we get to see lore of Kiyoi's side while he explains that he is perfectly aware of the god/subject mechanics in their relationship but answering "Creepy!" every time Hira looks adoring at him or tries to be gentle. They are both aware the situation cannot continue for much longer, unhealthy as it is but it actually takes a comment by a famous photographer who reads him perfectly, for Hira to start changing very slowly and meeting Kiyoi as equal.
The story is beautifully filmed and told but I was also extremely annoyed with Hira and his doormat attitude. Still, Kiyoi loved him just as he is for four years but is now getting more and more upset with Hira and his adoration attitude.There are only four episodes in this season taking place about 4 years after high school and each covering one season (winter, spring etc.). The actors are perfect. I loved the music and the opening credits were cool with the main cast dancing with their arms: beautiful!
It is a good short watch that I probably should rewatch soon! Waiting for the movie!!!!
