I do not really understand who makes the tags of the films/dramas in this website. "Prolonged nudity"?…
LOL Did you know that gay people have romantic feelings, too? We don't just f**k. How did you miss all the extended gazes, longing smiles, and other cues between the MLs? Did you think the "accidental" kiss on the beach and their reaction to it were included just for yucks and had no other significance? You didn't notice how Fandy checked himself over, smoothing his shirt, and primping, preparing to approach the author after seeing him from behind at the fireworks festival? Is that how straight guys act when they meet a straight friend out at night?
Fandy Fan is one of the most beautiful men in the world.
I watched this a second time tonight, with trepidation, because I remember how wonderful but also insanely confusing the plot left me the first time. I love fantasy and complicated plots, but if a power point presentation is required to understand a film's plot and timelines, that's a problem.
Or, perhaps I am dense.
This time, I resolved to just ride with it and see if a second watch would set off some neurons in my brain that didn't connect the first time. I think some did, and I certainly love the ambience and vibe of the film, but I still have major questions, two of which are behind the spoiler button below:
So, please help me out. WHY is he pushing Kanata away?
I'm thinking the writing was bad in this section. I didn't feel that transition at all. If he felt unworthy of Kanata, why did he go running to the soccer match as if life depended on it after being told his presence was more important to Kanata than anyone else's? Ten minutes later, he's like "bro, let's just be friends." lol
Feels like intentional, clunky misdirection. Who knows? Maybe the subs aren't great there.
I can't imagine trying to be "friends" with someone I'm in love with. It would be torture.
ma’am or sir….if a grown man or woman is drawn to a child….and acts on it. it’s grooming n pedo. there’s…
I have no idea if your sexual assault story is true, so I'll set that aside.
You don't understand what "grooming" is, nor do you understand what "pedophilia" is. You idiots on this board tossing these terms around as if you have a clue what they mean is both horrifying and hilarious.
Akira is 17/18. The tutor is 22/23. And here you are, comparing their relationship to one between an adult and a seven-year-old kid. That's downright bizarre.
Pound sand, child. Keep your ignorant comments to yourself until you bother to learn the definitions of words…
Gee, I guess calling me "uncle" ends the discussion, as does the use of ALL-CAPS and random accusations of "pedo-support." Is that a club. Do they have pedo supporter groups that meet on a regular basis?
And you still don't know what a pedophile is because you didn't bother to google it, or you did and you're pretending not to know because you haven't a leg to stand on.
Here, since you're too lazy, I'll help: From the Merriam-Webster Dictionary: pedophilia : sexual perversion in which children are the preferred sexual object Specifically : a psychiatric disorder in which an adult has sexual fantasies about or engages in sexual acts with a prepubescent child.
Now I know you're too lazy to look up "prepubescent," so I'll keep that simple for you too: Pre-pubes, as in, among many other signs of physical maturity, one's pubic hair grows out.
I'd bet good money that Akira, who is at least 17 and perhaps 18, has a full set of pubes down there.
BRAVO! You are so right.I call this crew the MDL Neo-Puritan Little Church Girls.I feel the West has regressed…
Don't you know that the total transformation into adult thinking, agency, maturity, and wisdom happens precisely at midnight on the eve of our 18th birthday? It's magic! :D
So, please help me out. WHY is he pushing Kanata away?
My problem is with the scant way this was written. Seemed to come out of blue sky to me.
Why confess at all, if you feel that way? We didn't see Akira thinking on that, determining what to do, nothing. One minute he's running with abandon toward a soccer game his beloved is playing in, because that girl told him his presence was important to Kanata, the next minute he's pulling back just when it seems Kanata was about to confess too.
Classic BL "I love you but we can't be happy cause we're gay" trope.

Unbelievable.
Why was Leslie Cheung alive and giving concerts in 2023?

My thanks to anyone who has an answer.

He was/is a friend and more to Akira when he had NO ONE to turn to.
People ARE allowed opinions, even deeply stupid ones, and other people are allowed to respond to those opinions with opinions of their own.
The only commenters "triggered" here are the Western Church Girls shrieking about pedophilia and grooming, without knowing what those words mean.
Please block me.

I bathe in it.
Also, you said you want to "dieeee3eee." Why haven't you?
