What to expect:Really soft BL (and by that I mean kissing and some shirtless-ness) , relatively sad story line, super adorable characters with super cute faces you just want to smoosh.

Basic Plot Summary:
This is the 2nd movie in the Takumi-kun Series!
Gii goes off to America and leaves Takumi alone for a bit.
On his return he greets Takumi with a huge kiss in front of all their classmates – which totally causes a ruckus and embarrasses Takumi. Takumi tries to talk to Gii about it but Gii dismisses him. He asks Takumi to invite the first year Morita Touru to their Halloween party. Going by how Gii has been behaving around him and how he insists Morita be at the party, Takumi gets jealous thinking that Gii prefers Morita..

My thoughts:

THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS

I do love to Takumi-kun series, so watching these films again is no chore to me!

If you guys read the original post that was uploaded in March 2012 then you would have seen that my main criticism was regarding Takumi.
I would like to take back everything bad I said about him and put all of that onto Gii. In the original post I said that what really annoyed me was Takumi getting jealous of Morita, but now I’m more annoyed that Gii was the one making him feel jealous!

The storyline, or what I feel was the main storyline, didn’t come into light until the film was nearly over. It’s revealed what Gii’s intentions with the Halloween party were and his reasons behind it. Now as sweet as they were, it doesn’t make up for the fact that he was intentionally hiding things from Takumi which caused Takumi to feel really sad and jealous!

As you may have noticed the actors are different. Both Takumi and Gii are played by different actors. Now although I really liked the old Takumi and Gii, I liked Kyousuke Hamao and Daisuke Watanabe more. As the film series progress they have so much more chemistry, its really nice to see them develop together. But I’ll save that for another time.

Suzuki and Morita’s story was so bitter-sweet. They didn’t have the time to get to know each other properly before Suzuki was cruelly snatched away by the jaws of death (little dramatic but hey, this film was dramatic!).
The ending was really lovely, heartbreaking, but lovely! Morita was unable to go into Suzuki’s hospital room but he made sure that Suzuki saw a rainbow before he died. So lovely *wipes single tear*

Last time I rated this film a 6 out of 10
and I’m going to stick with my original rating. Although I liked it better than the first Takumi-kun film, I have a strict rating system and a 7 means a lot to me so….shh~~

So that’s a
6/10
