Pornographer (2018) is the first part ( 6 episodes) this movie is the continuation of their story. I would also check out “mood indigo” (2019) which is the prequel (and ending is sorta sequel?) to the Pornographer series.

Just like Pornographer, Sei no Gekiyaku has some very mature contents. Both are made in Japan and concentrate on an LGBTQIA+ relationship. You could also (in my humble opinion) say that, in both Pornographer and SNG, one takes advantage of the other, leading to a physical relationship and feelings that begin to grow.

A change in the stakeout team throws Onoe, reporter for a weekly magazine, together with his contemporary, Kaburagi, a photographer. Onoe secretly considers Kaburagi his rival, and Kaburagi's haphazard way of doing things goes against Onoe's strong sense of ethics. There's nothing but conflict between them. But, in joint pursuit of a scandal, the two of them begin to care about each other...? ~~ Adapted from the manga "Ameiro Paradox" by Natsume Isaku

For Mamoru Nekoyashiki, a doujinshi artist, the only thing that satisfies his need for approval is to sell his original BL manga at the popular Kabesa section (a section for popular doujinshi circles on the wall side of the venue) and be recognized by readers at the event. But then one day, something happens to him!

He meets Kazama Issei, a childhood friend he once had a crush on who is now a popular up-and-coming idol. Their lives in distant worlds should never have crossed paths, but you can't take your eyes off this story of two young men growing up in each other's presence!
