Both movies are japanese BL movies where the characters are struggling with trusting each other because of their past experiences, but are still attracted to each other, and is not easily for them to forget each other.

Seventeen-year-old Hira, who is at the bottom of the class, tries to remain invisible at school, never wanting to open his mouth and expose his stuttering speech to his classmates. He views the world through his camera lens, detached until one day, Kiyoi Sou walks through the classroom door. The impact is instantaneous.

Hira finds himself pulled into Kiyoi's gravity, following him everywhere and attending to his every need. Popularity comes easily to beautiful Kiyoi, who is always surrounded by his classmates. He uses his status to get what he wants, ordering around the boy who stares at him with his big eyes and seems to worship him like a god.

Hira contents himself to merely exist within Kiyoi's orbit, asking for nothing in return…

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.

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!

They are both japanese BL movies adapted from a BL manga where the relationship between the characters is complicated, controversial at times. The story in both movies is catered to an adult audience or older teens because it contains adult men who has adult like responsabilities and mature themes. The main characters in both movies are very flawed individuals, which makes continues mistakes because of their insecurities.
