Boys Love

---

"We meet, come to know each other

fall in love and part right after.

"This is how many sad stories evolve."

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

This is not a tragedy.

This is a story of love...

that we share, Noeru and me.

Did you draw them with pencil?

It's not about merit.

Did you draw a lot

when you were a child?

I guess I did.

What is the magazine you said

youre working for?

It's called "Splash".

Nowadays illustrations

of the famous are the latest rage.

My drawing are different from yours.

For me, the fun part is to

work as a model.

I have to say...

yours are...

the best I've seen till now.

Tell me about this drawing

The Boy and the Sea.

Do you think to write about it?

I don't like to explain my creations.

You are surely right.

But that wont sell magazines.

Surely you are different.

As you will understand,

Thats not my problem.

OK. So will you satisfy my curiosity?

Your curiosity?

This painting is...

is the one I like most.

It reflects a part of my life.

I see.

This is the one I like best.

You are the first saying this.

All the others make stupid questions.

Like:
"whats your favorite dish?"

"whats your favorite color?"

Your name was...?

I don't remember right now.

You have my business card.

Mr. Mamiya.

How is your first name read?

Taishin.

Taishin Mamiya.

Welcome.

For two?

Is this allowed?

Journalists don't make that much.

This is my first important job.

Therefore it's different from the others.

I am more of an editor than

a journalist.

Let me treat you to dinner.

Order whatever you want.

You seem like a business man.

Relax, its submitted as expenses.

Order what you want.

Really?

Waiter!

This, this and this.

Without Green pepper.

Some of these.

And a bottle of...

- Dom Perignon, please.

- Sure, sir.

No, the champagne was a joke, right?

- Waiter!

- It's on me.

It's a present.

Because I'm your first important job.

How much is a bottle?

I don't know.

For sure it's expensive.

Give it to me.

Thank you.

It's already open.

Now we have to drink it.

But it's on me.

Mr. Mamiya,

Youre a one-of-a-kind man.

I guess youre even more special.

You cant drink.

You are a minor.

Yeah, right.

Kids should drink juice.

So, you'll have to drink it alone.

Of course.

It's too expensive to pour it away.

Cheers.

To what will we drink?

To your first big job.

Did you rent your studio?

My agency did.

I see.

Usually you sleep there?

Sometimes.

Often I stay in hotels...

or at friends.

I put up with anything.

You have a very liberal life.

Do you miss classes frequently?

What's that now?

Don't preach.

I don't preach!

But you are still a student.

At least finish school.

By the way...

about that drawing...

What drawing?

The one of the Boy and the Sea.

It's not for sale.

Don't get me wrong.

I was wondering if it was

Cape Misaki.

I am from Misaki.

Thats why I ask.

Have you been there before?

It's not your business!

Don't ask about that drawing!

OK. Ill avoid questions

about your private life.

Are you seeing someone?

Well, no.

Why not?

Youre very attractive.

Why are you laughing?

This was the last I expected to hear.

Really.

You must be very successful.

The truth is, Im not.

Im not like you...

Im not in fashion.

Im just an ordinary guy.

Youre a professional model.

I go to the rest-room.

Mr. Mamiya.

No, nothing.

What?

You needed to go, too?

What's going on?

What's that?

Don't!

Stop!

Please...

Enough!

Don't be afraid.

Hey, Mamiya! Mamiya!

What about the interview?

What?

The article about Noeru Kisaragi.

Im ...

working on it.

Youre a fool, you know?

But youre still young.

In each interview you

present a different image.

But your arrogance drives

everybody mad.

It suits you.

But you seem to have no ambition.

You are kind of a rowdy.

Professor!

What?

Can I go to the sick-room?

Are you sick?

I don't feel well.

Of course. Go.

I knew you would be here.

You miss too many classes.

You won't make it into University.

Youre skipping them, too.

There won't be a problem,

Im smart.

Well, me too. You'll teach me.

Deal?

How about that interview about

your work?

Was it OK?

Same as usual.

You know how they are.

Where are you going?

I go for a piss.

"Without the slightest doubt

there is love in this world.

What worries me is how to express it."

MODEL AGENCY:

MACCHIATO DULCE:

Hello?

Is this you, Noeru?

What's up?

Do you remember this interview

for "Splash"?

Sure! So?

Some problem?

This journalist...

was very unpleasant.

He was treating me and my

work with arrogance...

Thats no good.

Ill contact them right away.

You better.

Just tell him to step by

to apologize.

For what?

I just want him to apologize

face to face.

Are you sure?

One moment, please.

Mr. Mamiya,

Its Mr. Ikari

from Macchiato Dulce.

Really? For me?

Yes!

Hello?

Mamiya speaking.

Yes, it's me.

Could you be more specific?

He really said that?

Yes, sir. I am sorry.

I understand.

Yes, tonight.

OK. Tonight. Yes.

Mamiya.

What did they want?

Oh, it's nothing.

Youre late.

Don't stay there.

Come in.

You want a drink?

You shouldn't drink.

You are a kid.

So, let it be.

No. Don't be mean, Noeru.

Now, out!

I didn't see you here before.

Get out I said.

Alright.

Call me whenever you want.

Can't be.

What's this about?

I think it's quite obvious.

I am not referring to that.
