Sori Nokoshita Natsu

Summer after his third year of high school finds Kiryuuin Sho yearning for romance while nursing a broken heart alongside his best friend Jun, who's just been dumped by his cheating ex Kenji. To shake off the blues, the two head to the beach for sun, sea, and a fresh start. There they meet Kyan, a charismatic local with a hidden past, who draws them into a whirlwind of rekindled hope and unexpected danger. When a near-drowning incident forces Kiryuuin to confront his own vulnerability, the friends are pulled closer together—and into a tangled web of new attractions and old wounds. A cult indie gem from 2009, this film blends raw amateur charm with the playful energy of Japanese pop group Golden Bomber, delivering a campy, heartfelt tale about moving on and falling in love again. It's a nostalgic time capsule of 2000s BL: rough around the edges, but brimming with earnest emotion and laugh-out-loud moments.
