Editor’s Note: Thanks to Eri for the review! This is the sequel to Boys Love in 2006. It’s an entirely different story, but with the same heart wrenching romance.
Created in response to the commercial success of 2006’s Boys Love, director Kotaro Terauchi and star Yoshikazu Kotani teamed up again in 2007 for a new version of Boys Love. The second film had a completely new story, and all new cast but main star Kotani.
In this Movie Yoshizaku Kotani is playng the role of Kairu Aoi who teaches at a prestigious boarding school. One day, after a falling out with his girlfriend, he meets a young guy who provides him comfort and consolation during his time of need. Soon after that, a new student, Sora (Atsumi Kanno), transfers into his class, and is the same boy he had encountered before. Kairu tries to put the past behind him and keep their relationship a secret, but Sora is not about to let go easily.
Meanwhile, Ichiyu Muzuki (Yuuki Kawakubo) was a wallflower until Sora became his new roommate. When the other students begin to ask questions to Ichiyu about Sora, he starts to become popular. However, one student is not happy about Ichiyu’s rising popularity: his best friend Riku Hanazono (Tani Kazunori), the son of a mega capitalist. Riku becomes insanely jealous and begins to bully Ichiyu in front of the other students.
Kairu Aoi finds it difficult to control Sora. To makes matter worsts Sora, after rejecting all his schoolmates’ proposals to join their clubs, joins the club of Kaairu. As the story evolves Kairu and Aois relationship gets stronger. Sora accepts the guidance of his teacher and asks his teacher help in order to realise his dream. But Sora’s past is still catching up with him. When Ichiyu starts to fall in love with Sora and becomes obsessed with him. Sora’s cold heart rejects his roommate’s affections, causing their friendship to dissolve. Soon Sora’s past is revealed in school and a scandal breaks up. Can a boy like Sora have a happy ending in his life or his has to atone for all of his past mischievous behaviour?
Director Kotan Terauchi repeats some of the assets that made Boys Love a success, as true love among boys, obsession, and insane jealousy. This movie seems more mature than the first one, but can it surpass the first one?
