Boys Love (ボーイズ　ラブ)

This goes out specially to James who caught the original post on Qi Ji and requested for a translation! We’re glad you guys are checking out the different materials on the Chinese blog!
Following their collaboration in The Prince of Tennis musicals, actors Kotani Yoshikazu and Saito Takumi team up again for the decidedly different Boys Love. The title says it all: “Boys Love” or BL is a term used by Japanese publishers to categorize gay-themed works. Perhaps a bishonen dream come true for The Prince of Tennis fans, Boys Love paints a tender, illicit romance between two men with vastly different personalities and backgrounds.


John, here’s seeing to your request!
The quote was taken off one of Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s poem (not sure which one it is though!). Samuel Taylor Coleridge was an English poet, critic, and philosopher who was, along with his friend William Wordsworth, one of the founders of the Romantic Movement in England.
Here’s our meta-translation:

“From a chanced meeting… to getting to know each other… to falling in love… and to saying goodbye… This is the sad story of many.”

Cast : Saito Takumi / Kotani Yoshikazu / Matsumoto Hiroya / Taniguchi Kenshi

Story：
Akira Mamiya (Kotani Yoshikazu) is just a normal magazine editor living a normal life, but everything changes when he meets high school model Kisaragi Noeru (Saito Takumi). During their interview, Noeru’s behavior is reckless and rude, but Mamiya is intrigued by his beautiful drawing of the ocean. Mamiya invites Noeru out to dinner and the two quickly hit it off, until Noeru makes it clear he’s looking for more than friendship. The next day Mamiya goes to Noeru’s house to apologize and finds him with an unsavory older man. Mamiya realizes then that his interest in Noeru is also deeper than he had imagined.
