My thoughts:

*~WARNING!!!~*

May contain Spoilers!!!

And by ‘May’ I mean does!!!

Wow….this movie is intense. So intense….
It took me a while to work out which characters were which, but I eventually got it.

Okay just a few things:
The movie isnt exactly what I would call a Boys Love Movie, in fact….its not really
Its only here because shows the closeness between the boys and it was recommended to me 🙂

Quote: ” even though there is heavy homoerotic tension between the characters, Royston Tan (the director) says that the boys whose lives he portrayed do not identify as gay.”

This movie does show a lot of shocking images, (It is rated 18 so….yeah ) such as self harming, moderate violence and drug trafficking. Most of these images are graphic, so just to warn you!

I think the character that I liked the most was Shaun. he was pretty cool. His dad was a total ass though, even though we only saw his arm….
Vynn was alright too.
I didnt like Armani, he was a bit …much

Just to say I don’t really want to get into a whole thing, i know that this film was created to give an accurate description on gang life in Singapore and I believe the ‘characters’ are real people and I believe this film to be only semi documentary semi drama.
(but I don’t know this for sure)

Its a very intense movie!!!! I know I’ve said that before!

This might be a bit far, but it reminded me of the movie “Requiem for a Dream” because it shows the things that no one really wants to talk about or even acknowledge, such as drug use, violence and prostitution.

This type of film really isn’t my cup of tea. I like films which touch on serious topics but gang related films just…I don’t like it.

For BL quality only
*even though this isnt a bl movie….*
2/10

So he creates his own Princess Team: The Dark Princesses, and the rivalry between the two Princess Teams begin….

My thoughts:

*~WARNING!!!~*
May contain Spoilers!!!
And by ‘May’ I mean does!!!

I liked it.. I mean attractive guys dressing up as girls, What’s not to like?!

Also I was a little disappointed about the lack of Boys Love content though, it was only overtones *sigh* I should have read the small print, eh?!

I haven’t seen the anime yet or read the Manga, but apparently the live drama added the relationship between Mikoto and Otoya. Mikoto had a girlfriend in the anime and the manga !

I loved seeing familiar faces though!
Takumi Saito – the one and only Ray Fujita ❤ – the incredibly attractive guy from RH Plus (Closely following Rakuto Tochihara, of course xD)
And KENTA KAMAKARI!! From the awesome J-Rock band Cocoa Otoko!! ( Which is a band I really really like and am completely heartbroken that they have disbanded -.-” – But i digress….)

When Shuuya does his thinking poses…i love it ! The synchronised swimming team is my favourite. They are so weird… to be honest, this whole drama is weird.

I have reason to believe there is around 30 people in the whole school and they all wander around in groups of 3’s… even at the Princess Event thing that Otoya crashed, there was only 15 people hanging around

Something that kinda annoyed/confused me was: I’m pretty certain in the precredits…y’know when MidnightPumpkin’s song VEGA was playing….there was a kiss…I swear in the whole drama there was not ONE SINGLE KISS!!! I demand to know where this kiss went?!!!! Was i just not looking???? Was it not there????

If you want the Anime guide..thing…go HERE

Mew had to live with his grandmother because his father had moved away, at first he was reluctant to stay…but he learns to deal with it, and he’s actually quite happy where he is.
One day in school, Mew is washing up a painting pallet in the boy toilets, when he’s attacked by some of his classmates. Tong happened to be around and saved him, getting beaten up himself.
From then on Tong and Mew became really close friends.
One day Tong’s sister Tang goes on vacation with some friends….and she never comes back. Tong’s Mother, Sunee accepts that Tang wont return…but his father, Korn hasn’t. Tong’s family decide to move away. Korn has been drinking a lot, and is getting a little depressed.
A few years later, Mew is in a band as the songwriter and singer. The band’s manager hires a young woman to help August Band, who happens to look a lot like June.
The two old friends meet again as Tong was trying to buy their sold out album. They realise how much they’ve missed each other and start seeing more of each other.

This story is about unrequited, young love, family drama and tragedy

My Thoughts:

*~WARNING!!!~*

May contain Spoilers!!!

And by ‘May’ I mean does!!!

Its a really cute story, I love Mew and Tong’s friendship/relationship.
I loved how they both realised that they cared very much for one another, and no one was disgusted or angry or whatever!! For the first time ever in a BL movie!!!
I really hate stupid mothers who ruin perfectly adorable relationships!!! Sunee you suck!! But at the end she was alright and actually really lovely.

I really like Ying as a character, i think she’s is completely insane!
She kinda reminded me of myself….maybe that’s why i like her….

I’m so glad non of the characters actually started dating her, that…was such a relief! Although Tong’s girlfriend/ex-girlfriend was little irritating.

What really sucks, is that we never find out is June is actually Tang!!!
But i think she is

OH MY GOD, I died when Tong said “I cant be with you as your boyfriend….but that doesn’t mean i don’t love you”
AND HE GIVES HIM THE NOSE TO THAT TOY THING HE GAVE MEW WHEN THEY WERE KIDS!!!!!!
Even though that was a really disappointing outcome, IT WAS SO ADORABLE!!!!!

Its a really lovely story!
But the BL-ness takes a while to get going, watch it for the film not for what you hope to happen 🙂

I rate:
7/10

Also…Thai is such an awesome language!!!
I think that Mew when he was younger was so adorable! ^~^
anyway…..

Movie Summary [Sukitomo]

Title: Suki tomo / スキトモ
Release Date: 2007
Language: Japanese
English Subs? – Yep

[Image taken from here ]
Cast:
(actor – character)
Takumi Saito – Tomokazu Aoi
Hiroki Aiba – Yoshiki Saitou
Airi Komatsu – Misao Aoi

Basic Plot Summary:
Ooookay…
Tomokazu is a college boxer, in his final year in University, his bestfriend Yoshiki and his step-sister have always been supporting him. Little does he know both his friend and his sister have been harbouring secret feelings for him. Misao realises Yoshiki’s feelings and becomes jealous, believe he’s trying to steal her beloved brother from her.

One day, while Tomokazu is training for his big competition, Yoshiki, Misao, Misao’s friend and Yoshiki’s classmate visit… Tomokazu finds out exactly what everyone thinks of him.

My Thoughts:

*~WARNING!!!~*

May contain Spoilers!!!

And by ‘May’ I mean does!!!

Throughout the entire movie I was sat there trying to work out where I’d seen the guy who plays Yoshiki…at first I thought it might just be a friends that he looks like….THEN IT HIT ME!!!!
He’s the violinist that Takumi admires in Takumi-kun 1 – Shoshite, Harukaze ni Sasayaite!! Woo!

Anyways:
Now, I reaaaaally dont like one-sided love, I’ve said this countless times. But I could deal with this one…kinda. I was really hoping for Tomokazu to just….kiss Yoshiki. But that never happened! The only REASONABLY close piece of BL stuff that we got….was when Tomokazu knocked Yoshiki down and was on top of him, and I just found that a little bit awkward ehehe

So this is a VERY LIGHT Boys Love movie…in fact, the BL is so light….it might not exist at all
The movie was alright…as far as things go. I didn’t like the Misao character, honestly, sister loving the brother….it was a little weird. Especially at the beginning, when we had no idea WHATSOEVER that they are actually step brother and sister. The fact that they aren’t related makes everything…a little bit better. But still, I find it a bit strange.

Can we just take note of how attractive Takumi Saito is…!
He must have had to get into amazing shape for this movie…because all that running, and boxing is just….wow
Hiroki Aiba is really cute and has a fabulous jaw line.
With 2 lovely actors, it’s a shame nothing went down…ah well. The story was good, I liked how Yoshiki is always there for Tomokazu.

But despite all that, we are a Boys Love film blog, and even though the storyline was nice and the actors were fabulous…

I rate this movie:
3.5/10
Don’t get me wrong it was a good film…but on this love we favour BL quality and quantity – which this film really lacked

o.5 for Takumi Saito being hot, and Hiroki Aiba being in Takumi Kun movie
They deserve the credit…I’m sorry!

Umm, just quickly:
I’m unsure of the correct English title but….
Suki = to like
Tomo = makes it certain
So, going by this…I believe the movie to be called “Of course I like you” or ‘It’s certain that I like you” or my personal favourite “I like you..duh!”
….oh I don’t know!!~!

Avaliable on YT!

Anyways…. detailed guide of episode 13-14.
I’m only going to talk about the Xiao Lun/Da Dong storyline….sorry Du and Shen Qi
prepare for:

ULTIMATE SPOILERS!

Episode 13 –
Xiao Lun has always been bullied by Da Dong because of his feminine personality he is an easy target. Xiao Lun is amazing at nail painting! Da Dong is like some….high school gangsta(?) and the classmates have to pay him money…because of his grandmother is poor Xiao Lun is incapable of paying Da Dong a few times. Because Xiao Lun is such an adorably nice guy he paints the girls nails for free.
Because Xiao Lun cant pay Da Dong gets him to sweep the floors, while him and he friends smoke and play cards. Xiao Lun tried to tell one of the teachers….but the teacher did nothing, what a complete ass.
Xiao Lun gets bullied again in the guys toilets….but luckily Lu Zi come in and stands up to Da Dong, what a babe. Xiao Lun becomes interested in Lu Zi….until he finds out he actually has a girlfriend.
We get an insight into Da Dong’s life….he is always in the shadow of his awesome boxer brother, and he’s under pressure from the group he is part of…Da Dong is constantly trying to prove how tough he is.
One day after getting attacked by Da Dong, Xiao Lun runs to a room..where Du appeared and did her “Do you want to be a stone?!!!” thing….because Xiao Lun is such a sweetie he doesnt want to kill Da Dong even though Da Dong is so horrible to him.
The Head Instructor finds out what happened, and talks with Da Dong and Xiao Lun. Da Dong is lying about the whole thing…the head Instructure punches Da Dong.
Head Instructor tells Xiao Lun to punch Da Dong, and he’ll pretend he didnt see… Xiao Lun said “Wh am i the one being punished when he’s the one who did wrong?!” Head Instructor (HI) was all like “Ehh…?! How is this a punishment?!” and told him is was practicing his manliness…..Xiao Lun punched him gently….causing Da Dong to laugh…so HI beat him instead.
The whole thing turned into a lecture about how weak Xiao Lun is….totally unfair i thought.
HI said Xiao Lun could leave….and the he proceeded to beat the crap out of Da Dong…until the teacher lady saves him….she’s the only one who has some sense!
Its Hong Ge’s birthday….(he’s the guy who used to take money from Xiao Lun before he left – the leader of the gang) and they are planning something big….

Episode 14 –
Da Dong is happy because Hong Ge said he sees him as his brother….and the next day he should meet them somewhere because they are going to “have some fun”
Basicalmente….Da Dong is going to pretend to be the cable guy….and Hong Ge’s guys are going to beat the crap out of some guy. The plan goes well…until the guys leave and the man gets up….starts chasing after Da Dong…and who does Da Dong run into? Xiao Lun!
Xiao Lun fixes him up and lends him he jacket as a bit of a disguise. Da Dong find the rock in the coat pocket….He returns them both to Xiao Lun.
On the day of the school anniversary, Xiao Lun and Da Dong perform together, much to the surprise of the Head Instructor and to the delight of the teacher lady(who gets 3 bouquets of flowers…..lucky lady!) Xiao Lun hugs Da Dong….it seems the two have sorted out their differences…
at the festival, Xiao Lun is forced into going into the haunted house …thing :L
Da Dong attacks Xiao Lun…and bite his neck….soon, the neck bite turns into a kiss.
Xiao Lun says “You’re the same as me….you’re gay”
Da Dong freaks out and starts beating Xiao Lun….he says he’ll make sure he never speaks and ends up strangling him….
Du shows up and has a chat with Da Dong.
Da Dong says he’d rather be a rock than people finding out he’s gay.
Xiao Lun is rushed to the hospital.
He’s been in a coma for 2 days. Da Dong goes to visit Xiao Lun…but he only waits outside. he then goes to the roof…and sees Xiao Lun’s grandmother, the Head Instructor and The teacher lady leave, and goes back to Xiao Lun.
Du is there and he find out that Xiao Lun wont die….he just wont wake up, because of Da Dong.
Because of Du, Da Dong realises that he’s a total dumbass for bullying Xiao Lun, because he did nothing wrong….and Da Dong is the worst person EVAAAR!!!
He begs Du to bring Xiao Lun back…he is willing to turn into a rock.
Xiao Lun’s grandmother returns and sees Da Dong crying over the situation….she says she doesnt blame him.
BAM!
Xiao Lun wakes up!!!
Da Dong….Xiao Lun and Shen Qi dig a hole and bury the rock! Adios Du!
Or…..not?

My Thoughts:

I’ve seen….episodes 1-6, 13 and 14.
I couldnt see the others….the player i was watching it on became unavailable 😦
I like the entire concept of the drama….a little depressing – the story lines are really realistic and…hell i just love this drama!

Also, can we just take a minute to appreciate the title
“Gloomy Salad Days”
I mean…how epic is that?!

But back to these episodes…. :
Xiao Lun is so cute
I think he’s great, if he were in my school i’d totally be friends with him, he’s so kind an loving, and it breaks my heart that Da Dong and the other guys were bullying him…well they were bullying everyone but especially Xiao Lun.
Da Dong was such ass though…less so towards the end. I mean I understand he’s going through some stuff, y’know being part of a violent, money obsessed gang and trying to live up to his super strong brother and projecting his anger through bullying…but NO that is no excuse to act like a dick. But I liked him at the end when he was so upset about Xiao Lun he was sobbing at his bedside *sniff*

I liked how it subtly went from VAMPIRE NECK BITING!!! to casual make out time…loved it!
It could have been an amazing BL scene…..until Xiao Lun said “You’re the same as me” kinda….killed the moment. Da Dong – little bit of an overreaction I feel…
In my head I had an alternate ending where Xiao Lun and Da Dong actually got it on, it would have been full of BL goodness and no one would be put in a coma…Ah that would have been nice *fantasises*

But anyway, I liked it! I actually really like the concept of the whole drama, i just wish I could have seen more episodes
annnnd…I’m totally in love with Aaron Yan so….perhaps a little bit biased 😀

I rate 8/10

OST?
The opening theme is called Gloomy Salad Days by Wan Fang

and the ending theme is called Du by Wan Fang

My Thoughts:

*~WARNING!!!~*

May contain Spoilers!!!

And by ‘May’ I mean does!!!

It was an alright drama…If the point was to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS then mission accomplished!

I love the relationship between Tom and Don.
At first i was worried Tom was going to fall for Ben….I have a strict “If i think you two are meant to be together, Then YOU HAD BETTER BE TOGETHER” policy ^.^
I’m happy they got together but….they sure did take their time…

I thought Chris was adorable…and he reminds me of a guy i know…weird …
I thought he should either be with Will…or with Mike….so i’m glad it worked out
Jerry should have been with Mike….but i guess Will is good enough too.
Mike was just plain creepy at times…..ahaha xD

Dora is like THE BEST SISTER EVER! I hope that if anyone has a brother who comes out they show them the same love and support that she showed Tom….uh i’m gonna cry now. She’s amazing!!

BUUUUT despite the cute actors…and the general positive awareness thing it had going on….It was a bit ‘lifeless’….i didnt LOVE it, and i probably wouldn’t watch it again.
Sorry!! 😦

I rate this drama
4/10

Ohh its such a good drama!
Whhhhy…?! Because it has Rakuto Tochihara in!
What’s not to like?! 4 really attractive guys living together in one huge ass house fighting crime….Perfection!

Admittedly….the ‘Boys Love’-ness is virtually non-existent.
Despite the fact that they are all incredibly close…nothing really happens between any other them… Ahh well!!!
But saying that there are some….undertones of Boys Love-ish-ness….but they are only undertones.
We can just sit here and enjoy Rakuto Tochihara’s facetime 😀 Admittedly, that’s probably not what you guys are here for….well….we cant always have it all xD

Its super cute!
Ageha is my favourite, interestingly that’s the character Rakuto Tochihara plays…hmm

Min-soo and Seok-i come face to face in a bus after Min-soo drops a roll of film, which rolls to Seok-i’s foot. There is a definite connection between the two…
Min-soo gets off the bus…he looks behind him, expecting Seok-i to have followed..
A…fairy (?!) appears singing to Min-soo giving him advice.
Seok-i gives Min-soo a camera that was stolen from him.
It’s shown that Seok-i has in fact been following Min-soo trying to give him back his camera. As Seok-i walks away Min-soo runs after him and they embrace.

My Thoughts:

*~WARNING!!!~*

May contain Spoilers!!!

And by ‘May’ I mean does!!!

Now this movie is only 13 minutes long. But there is a longer version which is 15 minutes long….give or take.

I thought it was cute….brief…but cute 🙂

I’m not sure if these characters are meant to be the same as those in ‘Just Friends?’ but they have the same names…If they are meant to be the same then its very confusing, because the Seok-i in this movie is totally different, personality-wise, to the Seok-i in Just Friends?….so i dont think they are the same characters….maybe the people who made the film just really like the names?! ahahha

HOLY CRAP HYE-SUNG KIM IS CUTE!

What kind of friends does Seok-i have?! You dont go around stealing stuff from people!! Especially not cute guys like Min-soo

Its good!
Short movies are way too short -.-”

I rate:
6/10

P.S It can be found on YouTube!

After the two go out drinking, they end up in bed together…. is this just a one time thing? Or could it be more?

My Thoughts:

*~WARNING!!!~*

May contain Spoilers!!!

And by ‘May’ I mean does!!!

OMMMGGGG!i’ve been waiting forever to do this one! I totally love this movie!
Okay, I am a little bit biased….why?? Because I am completely in love with Rakuto Tochihara, ever since I saw him in RH Plus and One Missed Call 3…I’ve been a Tochihara Fangirl. It’s shameful, I know. But have you seen that man?! Ah he’s wonderful.
So you have been warned this part might not be 100% unbiased.

They are both really good actors! Really very talented. However, I think that they weren’t able to show off their talents in this film, which was a shame really. I hate to compare films, but I have seen a lot of BL films and to me the interactions between the two guys felt a little awkward. I did find the kiss between them – when Kurata invites himself to Tozaki’s place….well…it wasn’t the best kiss I’ve seen
…I think more practice is needed /winks/

Usually I really don’t like the guy/girl who gets in between the perfect couple, but i didn’t hate Kazuomi…he was pretty cool, and you could tell that he really does care about Tozaki.
I mean, sure, I was screaming at him when he tried to kiss him but, hey, the guy likes him! And Tozaki stopped him, so….no harm done!

Speaking of Tozaki, he isn’t the usual weak uke that we see soooooo often in BL movies, I find that so refreshing! That makes me love this movie so much more!
Sure, he allows himself to get pushed around a bit by Kurata, but when he was accusing Tozaki of things he didn’t do…he totally yelled at Kurata and stormed off. I LOVED IT!!!
No one accuses Tozaki of doing things he didn’t do *sassy finger snap*

Although we do have the usual boys love element: Jealousy.
O where would we be without this fundamental element.
But all is good in the end, don’t worry!

Speaking of which, the ending was so lovely. The role reversal: with Kurata waiting for Tozaki….that was pure perfection!

Another thing….That little happy giggle Tozaki did when Kurata sent him that text WAS FREAKING ADORABLE!!! And the love bite thing… Oh god I was fighting off a nosebleed.

Okay, I think I’m done with pointing out the good parts. But I really loved this film!!!
Ah….i just….i cant say anything else ❤

I rate this movie

10/10

why?

Because it’s super cute and its actually nearly 85% accurate to the manga – usually when there is a film remake of a manga they either change it completely or cut out the important parts…yeah yeah I know some parts are different but the original storyline is there!

[Oh and i love Rakuto Tochihara.]

If you haven’t seen this movie yet…What are you waiting for?! GO! WATCH IT NOW!
And leave a comment telling me (and everyone else) what you thought!

Read the Manga!!

Movie Summary [Ano, Hareta Aozora]

*update: 8th July 2012* *Original post: 10th April 2012* This post turns into a whole thing….beware(!)
Title: Takumi-kun 5 Ano, Hareta Aozora / あの、晴れた青空/ Sunny Blue Sky
Release Date: 2011
Language: Japanese
English Subs? – YES!

Cast:(actor – character)
Kyosuke Hamao – Takumi
Daisuke Watanabe – Gii
Ryoma Baba -Misu Arata
Naito Taiki – Shingyouji Kanemitsu

Yukihiro Takiguchi – Akaike Shozo
Shota Takasaki – Reiji Minoiwa

Basic Plot Summary:
The 5th instalment in the Takumi-kun Series and it picks up from where the 3rd movie left off
Okay, so from what I could gather about this movie…the basic plot line is:

Takumi was going to visit his brother’s grave and Gii promised to go with him. HOWEVER…there was a snooker competition on the same day as when their visit.
Which creates some tension in the relationship (…obviously!) Takumi feels betrayed by Gii…how is their relationship going to work out?

My Thoughts:

*~WARNING!!!~*

May contain Spoilers!!!

And by ‘May’ I mean does!!!

*Original before Update*
So….once again, no subtitles. Uh!!!
the only parts i did understand was when Takumi was in his room and the announcer…guy was all like “Oi…Takumi…phone call” and it was his mum on the phone
Oh and when Gii asked Takumi if he wanted a coffee….
Oh and when Takumi told Gii to go away….
OH! and when Takumi was like “but…” and Arata-san was like “….but?”
lol only 4 unimportant things in the whole movie.

Takumi seems to like hanging out in the greenhouses?!
also…GII?!?!?! Since when he so blonde?!!?! Okay…its not Blonde..! I noticed that in each movie he’s been getting a little lighter…but this…..this is less subtle that the other movies…!

The sex scene between Gii and Takumi went from incredibly sexy to incredibly sweet…How did they do that?!?! ahaha 😀

Arata-san looking fierce as usual. Nothing more needs to be said about him and his fabulous cheekbones

I dont think we’ve ever heard Takumi yell at Gii….Until now o.O He must have been so angry!!!
Soooo they are playing Snooker….Takumi is waiting at the station for the train – he has flashbacks of him and Gii together. Gii is playing against Arata-san ^o^ I think Arata-san wins….he looks at Gii and then Gii runs off
(and then Shingyouji says “Arata-san” <3)
Takumi is still waiting for a train…Gii is running as fast as he can. I swear all this guy does is run -.-” ahaha
Its a close call but….OF COURSE Gii makes it in time!!! Its Gii
He just grabs Takumi and gets on the train with him….Gii you are so casual
So they visit the grave of Takumi’s brother together….lay some flowers and pray, its cute!
And then they walk off together…

Sooo…besides the fact that i have no idea whatsoever, what is going on in this movie….I like it

I love the fact that Takumi gets pissed off at Gii…because in the past (especially in the 2nd and 3rd ones) Takumi never confronted Gii about anything… and for me that made him a weak character (I love him and all but….just being honest!) so i’m super happy that Takumi yelled at Gii

I have reason to believe that this is the final movie is the Takumi-Kun series… at least for Kyosuke Hamao and Daisuke Watanabe….thats what i read somewhere anyways $:\$

I rate:

8/10 !

Okay!! I have found english subtitles!!!! *HALLELUJAH!!*
Now, for a proper and correct summary ;D
And by summary, I meant ULITMATE SPOILERS BECAUSE I’M GOING TO DESCRIBE EVERYTHIIIING!!
*I’m not even sorry!*

Takumi and Gii must keep their relationship secret, as Gii has a lot of followers and he doesn’t want them to get jealous of Takumi and hate him and all that. That’s kinda sweet..

Takumi is still staying with Arata-san. Shingyouji is in their room while Arata-san is out. Apparently Arata-san hasnt been paying him much attention, because it’s Arata-san…He does what he wants!
Takumi also denies the fact that him and Gii are going out, but Shingyouji says that he knows Takumi loves Gii, so going out isn’t that important, aw Shingyouji!

Phone call from Takumi’s mum!! *i was correct guys….i’m a genius, definitely fluent in Japanese* she checks up on him asking him how his studying is going, but Takumi knows the real reason for the phone call….on 15th June is the anniversary of his brothers death.
Last year Takumi went to visit his brother with Gii, because Gii was there he could go and visit….Takumi cant go without Gii..TAKUMI NEEDS GII!!!

Takumi has arranged with Akaike-kun to get Gii to meet him in the Greenhouses, because its hard to get hold of him.There is a Snooker Tournament to welcome the new students….or something :L
The tournament will start on June 15th….

Takumi is waiting in the Greenhouses, and Shingyouji runs in saying Arata-san screwed him over…something about not being lovers and not dating….and comics aswell…oh and apparently Shingyouji is keeping a stray cat and Arata-san is NOT allowed to find out.
Arata-san hates animals.

Gii arrives!! looking really blonde
Takumi runs at him and hugs him *I died!!!!!*
Gii apologises for making him wait and then kisses him!!! (ah this is so much better now that i understand whats going on!)
Someone walks in(its a teacher guy)….Gii runs out. The teacher guy is looking after Shingyouji’s cat. Takumi explains that Arata-san might come looking for the cat o.O The teacher says its okay, the cat will be fine.
Jeeez everyone is making Arata-san seem like such an ass!!! I guess…he is. But shut up!!! I like him! 😀

Takumi’s mum wrote him a letter, a year ago she wrote him the same one, but at that time he resented his family, and he explains about his ‘human contact phobia’, a barricade to protect himself from getting hurt….and was broken down by Gii ❤

When Takumi comes back to the room Arata-san welcomes him.
They talk about Shingyouji, and how Arata-san is being such a tit….and how Takumi is avoiding answering the question, Takumi says that he is the only one Shingyouji can talk to about Arata-san.
I think I should be the one people should talk to about Arata-san…
Takumi goes to visit Gii….He tries to knock, but then he gets cold feet. Some guy tells him that Gii is in there as Takumi tries to leave….the guy knocks for him. Gii tells Takumi to stop flirting with first years :L

GII ASKS TAKUMI IF HE WANTS COFFEE!!!! *guys i was correct again!!!!!*

Gii says he regrets kissing Takumi in the greenhouses, because now he has no self control….ohhoh ;D
“maybe we should do it here” L;JFHAKLJFKJSAHDKJAHA!~!~!~!
He locks the door and turns off the lights and then looks at Takumi with a sexy smouldering look and asks him which is better the sofa or the bed….I DONT CARE! JUST GET ON WITH IT!!!
they listen to my personal fangirl thoughts and….got on with it ;D
Btw guys…they chose the bed ;D

Takumi tries to leave after realising what the time was, but Gii is all like “NEVERRRRR!!!!!” and grabs him and hold him in his arms.
He asks Takumi who the phone call was from…Takumi tells him.
Takumi says in the greenhouses he wanted to talk to him about it.
Gii remembers the anniversary of Takumi’s brothers death, and asks him if he can go with him.
Takumi says he meant to invite him…that he wanted him to come with him, but when he’s with Gii he kinda…stops thinking

Why was Student Affairs Section in English?! :L The students are Japanese….surely…it should be in japane-…okay never mind.

Takumi finds out that Gii is going to play in the tournament….THE SAME DAY HE PROMISED TO GO WITH TAKUMI TO VISIT HIS BROTHER’S GRAVE! GII?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
Takumi appears to be completely devastated.

Gii visits Takumi….but he’s not interested
(Perverted thought alert : Arata-san’s ass in those white trousers…dayumm!!~)Gii tries to explain, but Takumi does want to hear it. Ohh he’s so cold.
He tells Gii to go away *everyone that’s 3 correct out of 4!!!! I’m doing well!! *
Gii says he’s sorry 😦
GUYS! MAKE UP ALREADY!!! (even though i know they do….having already seen it without the subs ahahha)

Gii is SUPER UPSET
Poor guy is really pissed off at himself and just falls to the ground and sits at his door.

Can i just say that i’m really quite jealous that Takumi gets to share a room with Arata-san.. I don’t think Takumi really appreciates what a wonderful situation he is in! Ahh what I wouldn’t do to share a room with that man…

Takumi says *well….thinks* that the grave visit meant way more to him that Gii thought.

Arata-san goes to the Student Affairs section and sees that Takumi will be visiting his brother’s grave on the 15th…Arata-san, using his power

HOLY CRAP! THE RAIN STOPPED!
On this day….of all days.

Alrighty…so it’s June 15th, the day of the tournament…Gii’s opponant is ARATA-SAAAAN!!!

And so…..It beings…

All while Takumi is waiting for the train.

ARATA-SAN I LOVE YOU!!! He found out that Gii hasnt withdrawn his request to leave the grounds…and so he will play Gii…so Gii can play without the guilt and then go meet Takumi..
Takumi says “but….” Arata-san says “….but?” ***GUYS 4 OUT OF 4 CORRECT!!;D***
Takumi says he can get the later train at 11.30…enough time for Gii to play and meet him,

Okay while we’re here, a bit of personal trivia….I really dont like snooker :L I find it really…boring! My family used to watch it on tv all the time…

The 10.40 train arrives and leaves again, Takumi is still waiting, Gii and Arata-san are still playing. OH GOD!
The 11.05 train arrives and leaves….Still playing….

Arata-san wins!!!

やった!!!!
Arata-san nods at Gii who then runs away like a mad criminal escaping from a detention facility :L
Arata-san is lovely! SEE I TOLD YOU ALL!!!

The 11.30 train appears…..FOR GODSAKE GII HURRY UP!!!!!
Oh….there he is.
He made it!! They get on the train together.
Why the hell is this guy not dying right now?!! He sprinted for ages and he’s not sweaty and disgusting?! WHAT IS THIS?!
I go for a light jog for 1 hour and i come back, struggling to breathe, my face is red like a tomato and I’m feeling like there is no way I can’t live another second. UNFAIR!

Naoto Hayama is Takumi’s brother, apaprently his parents adored him, and they didnt really notice Takumi. when Takumi was in elementary school and his brother was in junior high, he started abusing him. Takumi didnt fight back because, because of his brother his parents noticed him more, he brother took advantage of that 😦
Takumi says how his mother had left to go shopping, and his brother dragged him to bed, his mother returned because she forgot her wallet…she saw $:\$ his parents blamed him, but once they found out the truth and sent his brother to hospital, Takumi had already stopped caring. He asked Gii if he hated him now, knowing what happened.
Gii said that he loved him ❤

As we found out in the 3rd movie, Takumi’s brother had died trying to find him, to apologise, and so Takumi had lost his bitterness to him.

Takumi lays flowers down on the grave, and him and Gii pray.
When leaving the grave Gii takes Takumi’s hand as says they should visit there again next year, and ,maybe with his family too….but expecially with him.
And then they walk off together ❤

Well….I’m pretty happy that my original summary was mostly accurate!
I stand by what i wrote up there 3 months ago
BUT!!
I now rate it

9/10 ;D
