(How many second chances do you get in life?)After being best man at his best friend's (Saitou Toshihisa) wedding, Nagai Atsushi realizes that he might never be with the man he loves, Saitou. Nagai, drowning in his sorrows and hatred for the new bride then meets Honda Kenzou, another guest at the wedding, a friend of the bride's. Honda took care of Nagai when he was dead drunk and now Nagai thinks he may have feelings for both men. Things start to get complicated when Saitou's bride runs off with another man and Saitou starts hitting on Nagai.
This isn’t a widely know or popular series. It was something I happen to fall upon a few years back. It’s really a dramatic love story, in a sort of American soap opera style. Seriously, this must have been on National Japan Television or something because it’s so similar to our soap operas here in the states. This isn’t entirely a bad thing because it does have it’s sincere moments.
This is actually an incredible romance. The characters are mature and level-headed as they embark on their lives. I have to agree that not all marriages are happy ones, which is one of the key points in the story or rather the main event that happens in the story. It’s all about second chances and doing what makes you happy. This is truly inspiring to most of us modern-hopeless romantics.
It originally started out as a manga but, later turned into an anime. Beware however, they animation isn’t up to date and some dialogue is outdated as well. If you can see past all that, I think you will like it too.
(I realize that this is the beginning of the month but, I really wanted to get this in before Yaoi month was over. My work computer had crashed, taking all of my reviews with it and I simply ran out of time before January ended. Regardless, hope you enjoy my last review for Yaoi Month.)
