Not gonna lie, I came here for the BL tag but I ended up loving the whole movie! The story, the dystopian and dark setting, the visuals, the characters… all is just so awesome. I already knew the manga before watching the movie but I never actually read it, now this is definitely gonna be on my reading list! The only thing I can complain about is how it started strong and catching but midway it just went downhill… like, it lost its emotion and the plot twists were very predictable. Also, I would have liked to see more of the characters background in order to understand more about them and the reasons they decided to join the club and follow Zera (I really need to read the manga, I guess) .
I also liked Zera and Jaibo's twisted relationship, although it’s kind of sad how they ended… I'm not saying Jaibo was in his right mind (nobody was lol) but he deserved someone better than Zera, I don’t think he ever truly loved him and he only liked his pretty face!
Holy shit, this has to be one of the best Japanese BL I have ever seen in my entire life. The story, the cast, the acting, the soundtrack… everything was perfect! Riku and Yusei's chemistry was wonderful, literally, I have no words to express how much I loved their interactions and portrayal of their characters, it was sooo good to the point that you forget they are actors and they are not really dating in real life! <3
I already knew him from other series and movies but UtsuKare was the one that made me love him even more. His acting was so good, he definitely deserves more spotlight in the future! Wishing him all the best, please get well soon <3
Why was the bullied girl outside of the classroom?
Because she was the only person besides Lin who was being bullied by their classmates, and also because he realized that she was a good person. That’s why Lin didn’t killed her with the others.
Kurata was toxic af, Tozaki deserved someone better than him! I mean, I get that you are jealous of your boyfriend's ex, but that doesn’t gave you the right to literally treat him like sh!t just because you have zero trust on your partner and you're afraid he might be cheating on you (he even tried to rape him out of jealousy, and not only once but twice!!). This movie is old school Japan and although I enjoyed it when I was younger, now I know better and I just can’t accept how the manipulative and abusive Kurata was trying to control every aspect of Tozaki's life, even getting on the way between him and his work. I can't believe that I used to like this type of relationships in BLs before, so so toxic. The actors were cute tho (zero hate towards them).
I also liked Zera and Jaibo's twisted relationship, although it’s kind of sad how they ended… I'm not saying Jaibo was in his right mind (nobody was lol) but he deserved someone better than Zera, I don’t think he ever truly loved him and he only liked his pretty face!
