I wasn't sure of what I was watching going in but quickly became aware of the type of bl I was watching. Affair related bls don't typically call my name or anything, but the story surrounding said affair helped to carry me through the movie. Main character is unlikeable and pitiful (atleast to me) Not once did I find myself cheering for this man's success. He is a liar,cheater and criminal and the fact that he kills Umezawa at the end is heartbreaking! I can't completely place the blame of the affair on ML so yes, I admit, Umezawa was also in the wrong but I will also support my belief that he did NOT deserve to die. Also so many characters are just open to committing crimes?? I'm so glad ML dies at the end, helps me sleep well at night.
