Boys Love

Japan, 2006. 83 mins. Picture This!

BOYS LOVE begins as conservative young magazine editor Akira Mamiya (Kotani Yoshikazu) sets out to profile teen model Kisaragi Noeru (Saito Takumi). Mamiya becomes taken with the young man while viewing his paintings. The two continue their interview over dinner and dinner leads to an encounter in a restroom stall. A relationship develops between the usually straight-laced Mamiya and irresponsible pretty-boy Noeru. But it's a relationship fraught with peril. Jealous schoolmates too much booze random men and the demands of career conspire to test whether a BOYS LOVE can survive.
