BOYS LOVE
Directed by Kohtaro Terauchi


In this sexy romance, conservative, young, magazine editor Mamiya (Yoshikazu Kotani) sets out to profile teen model Noel (Takumi Saitoh).  At Noel's apartment, Mamiya becomes taken with the young man and his artwork.  The two continue their interview in an upscale restaurant, where Noel unexpectedly serves up dessert in one of the restroom stalls.  A relationship develops between the usually straight-laced Mamiya and irresponsible pretty-boy Noel, 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.

“An eye candy-filled, unabashedly gay delight...with ... sharply drawn characters... ridiculously good-looking (and frequently scantily-clad!) leads! Deeply romantic!”
Lawrence Ferber, PHILADELPHIA INT'L GAY & LESBIAN FILM FESTIVAL


“This title will surely find interest from audiences seeking a new type of erotic romance!”
Laura Tiffany, HOME MEDIA MAGAZINE


“Noel is played by Takumi Saitoh, and it’s to his credit that he hold(s) the screen and sometimes our hopes as he lopes and leers and sneers and looks out at the camera and other actors with big Bambi deer eyes (with long hair falling in them) in a way that makes us indeed care and wonder what (is) behind his Bad Boy behavior.”
Rob Lester, EDGE BOSTON


“The actors are good, and Kotani actually is quite adorable!”
