My Thoughts:
Warning!!! 
This movie DOES in fact contain a rape scene….Which is really quite graphic
So…nudity (obviously)

May contain Spoilers!!!

And by ‘May’ I mean does!!! 

Okay, I really liked this movie, but I was a little disappointed and angered with Kei and his  “methods” for attracting Yuuki, CLEARLY this guy has been reading waaay too much Yaoi Manga if he thinks that the way to an “uke”‘s heart is to force them into having sex with you.
Kei, as much as we don’t want it to be true, unfortunately situations in manga can almost never be applied to real life.

I found Yuuki’s infatuation for Kawashima to be a little annoying….I’m not sure if that’s because I wanted to see more (consensual!!!!) action between Yuuki and Kei, or if I just found it annoying.
I was probably more annoyed at the fact that Yuuki didn’t return Kei’s feelings, as I’ve said many many times I hate one sided loves, and this movie had 2 of them!!

Something else that I really liked about this movie was how…circular it was (does that make sense?!) It was so effective how it started with Kei joining the group and ended with showing why he joined…love it.

I read the manga….and a lot of it is very similar to the movie, so that’s good.
The only problem I found was the ‘rape scene’ and aftermath in the film was very different to the manga.
In the manga, Kawashima actually told Kei that Yuuki was gay…so Kei (I’m guessing) saw this as a green light to proceed with his…plans(?!)
I thought that that was a pretty key detail to miss out.

Can I just mention: RYOMA BABA.  He totally nailed the part as the (sexy) police officer and in my opinion he made the whole film. I’m happy.

On a superficial note: Yuuki looks soooooo much cuter without those glasses, anyone agree?!

This movie contains way too many conflicting emotions, but it was really good, I’d encourage you to watch it but, watch out for that rape scene, its not very nice to watch

Incredible acting though!!!

I’d rate it:
7/10
