The plot was also not necessarily new or original. It was in a boys highschool and the cause of issues was mostly silly jealousy and keeping a secret. At the same time it was well executed and perhaps not a bad choice for a boys love film. The issues were kept simple and clean, but dramatic, and the way it was shown was artsy and interesting in a way that the plot was still entertaining despite not being original. There was a dream scene near the end that I really liked that was an example of little flourishes added to make this movie so entertaining despite its simplicity. Both are an excellent watch, with Doukyuusei having more artsy poetic bent and Hitorijime My hero a more more of a tradition romance/popcorn show vibe. Ressler, Karen (March 9, 2016).

Can't really say much other than watch the 90's version because it's better in every way except its more HD. Art style manages to be more weird than the original. It doesn't follow the game but that's understandable and I'm sure none of the voice actors are even the same as the ones in the VNOverall: If you're looking for a hardcore yaoi movie then you'll be disappointed because this movie is very romantic and REAL. You can easily feel the characters and understand their actions because they're very relatable.

be a genuine romance with a fairly realistic story - barring cute coincidences. Instead, I got something pretty typical - boy meets boy, they run into issues that could be solved through minimal amounts of communication, and ultimately put issues aside because their love is too powerful to fight, or whatever... It felt pretty weak, and 'important' moments in the relationship just didn't carry any weight. Hodgkins, Crystalyn (July 8, 2018).

I thought it was very sweet and tender. I like the art, especially how Kusakabe was drawn. He's my favourite character too, he's just so eager, open and awesome, compared to shy little Sajou. Characters (9/10): the characters are what makes this movie WORK. How they interact with eachother is the cutest thing you'll ever see. You can feel the love they have for eachother, and that's an big accomplishment for the mangaka, the studio and specially the director. The series is noted as a departure from Nakamura's earlier and subsequent works, such as Double Mints [ ja] and Kaori no Keishou, which typically focus on darker themes and erotic subject material. [7] [9] Nakamura has stated that she had created "aesthetically pleasing works" with "soft images" prior to the publication of Classmates, but did not have the opportunity to publish them. [7] In Classmates, Nakamura stated that she wished to balance the exaggerated romance elements typical of BL with elements of realism, particularly in regards to LGBT issues and identity. [7] What more to add up is the fact that the way the characters interact isn't typical to our basic "yaoi" series or movie. They share their feelings, hug, and support each other, have conflicts, but don’t force each other to do things they don’t want, and show interest in each other. I just love that the love interest isn't really forced into the relationship or forced to confess his feelings in a way yaoi often has him do. They confess in a very open way, easy and right to case.

They have to face their own fears being with each other. Sajou preparing for his big upcoming entrance examination and his fear of travelling in trains not to give up on exams like on many occasions before while Kusakabe trying to figure out how to deal with the changes both of them are facing together. I actually liked the way the story was seperated out. It was cut into seasons (spring, summer vaction etc.), where each chunk had its own issue for the couple, a climax in tension, as well as a resolution.It starts out strong with the two getting to know eachother and then realizing they're in love (rather than the love at first sight plot device). By the end they've been going out around a year, and it involves the passing of time and their futures, making it seem like a more successful realtionship despite the short amount of time the movie had. The style of storytelling was also wonderful, as the watcher is able to see and understand the point of view of both MCs,Kusakabe Hikaru and Rihito Sajou. Kusakabe and Sajō pursue a long-distance relationship. After Kusakabe spends a week in Kyoto visiting Sajō, they reaffirm their desire to marry at 20 and decide to start referring to each other by their first names. Satoshi learns his daughter is getting married, and reconciles their relationship with the support of Hibiki. Sora, having graduated high school, works as a fashion model; after a chance reunion with Hara, they begin to pursue a relationship. a b c d e f g "岩本薫、中村明日美子『BL進化論サロン・トーク～VOL.1』レポート".
