Review: This is basically a romantic comedy with no women in it, haha.

If you like watching gay films, but are tired of the drama and unhappy endings, or if you love yaoi manga, then you should definitely check this movie out!

Created by women (like the majority of the yaoi genre), this movie is cute and amusing. The comedy was done pretty well and I found myself smiling or giggling a lot.
Again, like yaoi, there are no women to be found and everyone seems to be gay.
I felt a few of the characters had the stereotypical feminine gay vibe going on, but since it was a comedy and not all the characters were like that, it didn’t feel like there was harm in it, (it was just subtly annoying sometimes). If you want something really realistic, then I guess you have to stick to the drama genres.

Main Character

Love Interest

But I really did like the characters.
The main character was  adorable and innocent. His crush was a typical male lead for any romantic comedy genre.
I think his friend was my favorite though; he was silly and cute.

Though the story-line itself wasn’t really anything new, I had to give this movie an 8 out of 10 for the combination of comedy and that really hot make-out scene, haha.

There’s no nudity or sex (it implies it, but doesn’t show it), so this would be acceptable for any teen that already reads BL manga.

Oh and FYI, there is a short bonus after first credits, so make sure you don’t turn it off right away.
