Synopsis

Despite Kazuya Shinohara becoming an explosively popular idol, his relationship with his classmate Akihiko Kudo remains much the same. The duo eat meals together and Akihiko provides Kazuya with much-needed respite from his busy performance schedule. However, when a villainous entertainment agency attempts to forcibly recruit Kazuya, Akihiko must rethink what Kazuya means to him.

I'm not really a hardcore yaoi fan. However, this ,,softcore'' one was actually pretty good. The story isn't really something what I'd call masterpiece, but I enjoyed it. Akihiko and Kazuya are really cute together. It has that classic 80s vibe, the music is amazing and the art is great. I don't know why it's so underrated. It definitely has some potential.

What this boils down to, is that it's a very light boy-loves-boy story, with a kidnapping plot thrown in just to provide a little drama. Although if you're looking for any sort of 'action', this isn't it -- I don't recall anything more racy than an innocent kiss.

Pure-Pure Boy is a budding, young idol, who is always cheerful and somewhat naive about how the world works. His best friend is a little rougher around the edges, and it turns out he is interested in being a little more than just a friend. If it wasn't for the Pesky ...
