Intense Beautifully Created

I am not a manga reader, my review will be base purely on the movie. Been watching BL shows from different countries. I would consider this movie beautifully created. The nitty gritty acting of actor Narita Ryo made me empathize with how much he wants to be a part of the person he love. That is played by Okura Tadayoshi. Imagine meeting up with someone you have feelings for 8 years ago and still feel strongly in the present? With what he observe of Otomo Kyoichi, I too will have my insecurities and self doubt come up to the highest degree. I appreciate that he got the courage to pursue his love every possible way, with all the things that Kyoichi shows him. He is honest with his feelings, very vulnerable because he wants to be LOVE. This is not a light hearted story and the expression by both actors to show their feeling are admirable. This mature theme in BL is very much appreciated. The Japanese produce BL, is very realistic of their storyline than other countries. I appreciate that BL genre is becoming open with the production of story, not limited around the school campus. This movie will be one of the example that raise the bar of acting, cinematography, script and story line. It my hope and wish that we will see more of these genre in BL with great acting and story.
I read that another book was writing in sequel to this "The Carp on the Chopping Block Jumps Twice." Hope some producer will make this movie with the same actor Narita Ryo and Okura Tadayoshi. My great thanks for making me enjoy the show and kudos to the writer SetonaMizushiro, you make my world more beautiful and fun.
