The third film in the series continues with the boy love tale of Gii and Takumi with romance, friendship and all that angst that comes with it in an all boys school. This came just one year after the second film and the leads actors continued to reprise their respective roles. A new school year begins and everyone comes back after the break but this year something changes. How will Takumi survive this?
Talking on phone, the loving couple Gii and Takumi are both looking forward to spending third year together. Gii is now a dorm leader and gets a separate room. Through his friend Takumi finds out that there has been much change in Gii's appearance and behavior. Takumi is shocked since Giii hasn't even bothered to meet him yet. On top of that, when Takumi gets Misu as his room mate, who has been in a longstanding cold war with Gii since first year, worries Takumi even more. This prompts Takumi to confront his boyfriend only find out that the once affectionate Gii has turned aloof towards him even in private. Worse, Gii asks him that it would be best if they keep their distance from each other. Takumi's best friend then tells him that there is a reason behind all this. Apparently because of Gii, a lot of new high profile students have joined the boarding school and Gii wants to protect not just Takumi but himself as well. But this doesn't sir well with Takumi whose human touch phobia comes back. It's when Takumi's room mate Misu, confronts Gii and reminds him that love of his life is going back in his shell, that Gii's eyes open and he rushes back to Takumi and apologizes for his behavior and wows to never not love him.
One thing that I really liked about the film was in the end when Takumi says that how much ever we both love each other, I cant know what you are thinking, so talk to me. Share your happiness and sadness both. And I think that is so important. Because if Gii was truly worried about Takumi's safety and concern, he could have had a honest conversation with him, rather than leaving him high and dry, which would have baffled anyone. I also liked the support system in friends that Takumi has and how they are always there to protect him and respect his space. A huge issue with this film this time was the constant shaky camera. It was terribly distracting and I hated it. I felt that Gii was give na little backseat in this film which primarily focussed on Takumi. Overall this film had some improvement in screenplay and focus on main story, compared to random side stories in last two films. (6/10)
