Yaoi manga in general depict adolescent boy love and are (primarily) written and consumed by girls and young women. 1 Accordingly, in the film the parts of four boys staying on at a boarding school over the summer break are played by girls as breech roles, speaking lines in "boys'" language, while retaining many "female" traits as well, resulting in decidedly androgynous performances. The boys are two upper classmen, Naoto (Nakano Miyuki) and Kazuhiko (Otakara Tomoko), a younger boy called Norio (Fukatsu Eri), and one boy who is first known as Yu (Miyajima Eri) and later, when he returns to the school after an apparent suicide, as Kaoru. Naoto and Yu are both in love with Kazuhiko. Norio is the odd boy out. The opening shots present the viewer with a series of impressionistic medium shots of a full moon, dark woods, and a mountain-scape as the evocative soundtrack-which pulsates with ambient sound-begins, and of a single school building surrounded by those woods at night. Alternating seamless cuts with extended tracking sequences, the camera traverses an empty hallway, cuts to a shot of white curtains billowing from a classroom's open windows, and tracks out to reveal the empty desks and chairs. An accelerated track shot ascends the stairs to the dormitory rooms on the second floor, then cuts to a medium shot of a lone boy, who later we learn is called Yu, seated at a desk with his back to the camera, writing a letter. There is a close up of a clock on the desk that reads a few minutes to midnight. The boy finishes his letter. He removes what looks like some sort of memory or battery card from the clock, stopping it. Slipping the letter under an adjacent dormitory room's door, and carrying a strangely antiquated looking lantern, the boy retraces in reverse order the path that the camera traversed entering the building and ascending the stairs. Just as the boy leaves the school building, a grandfather 17
