Haru wo Daite Ita

The adorable and attractive main characters of Haru wo Daiteita are Kyousuke Iwaki and Youji Katou who are both in the film industry, having starred in various adult video films and are trying to climb the ladder of success and become greater actors. Iwaki is accepted to star in a popular movie, having beaten Katou in the auditions. During their time together, Katou believes he is in love with Iwaki-San, who on the contrary refuses to believe that he is in love. It is later on that another gay actor comes back to Japan and co-stars with Katou that problems starting arising. And it is from then on that the two realise where their hearts are set.

I think that haru wo daiteita is very dramatic and it also deals with very interesting situations in which two men work together as
AV (adult video)actors. The main people Kyosuke, Iwaki : and Katou, Youji
......start to adapt feelings for eachother....though to support their jobs they must act as lovers and take part in sexual activities...
twas in their personal lifethey start to feel and care for the other
from rival to ideal partner....

this anime has a feel to it ...
when i watched this i was
expecting to see boyXboy wich i got
but i also got more which made the anime more ... worth watching
i would say that this anime is perfect for a yaoi fans
and well thats as much as i can say for these two episodes overall ........

Mixed Feelings

I recommend leaving your moral compass outside of the room for this one and not think too deeply about the glorification of human depravity, but well, if you've watched any number of yaoi, none of it should really come as a surprise to you. It's not breaking the mold. What you get is what you expect.

Boys having fun in bed, questionable consent, and drama. This time starring actors and other movie staff, a paparazzi and everything in between.

It has some good moments that are really sweet, if you take them out of the full context.

Disturbing things aside, did I care one bit what these ... two OVAs were about? Not in the slightest. I took one look at the lineup and decided I was going to listen to four of my favorite VAs and in that regard, I was not disappointed.

Two words: Ultimate disappointment.

Don't get me wrong, I loved this series very much. Except what I hate about it is its being all over the place. I mean, I can't expect this to be perfectly in tune with the manga (no anime is perfectly in tune with any manga, sadly), but this was an ultimate disappointment.

First, they show insignificant scenes, such as the one with Kikuchi's incident, when they could have shown more significant scenes from the manga. Second, someone who has never read the manga wouldn't understand some parts, such as the reporter who looks like Iwaki. Third, some details are wrong, such as ... the scandal that involved Iwaki and Katou. And fourth, to put it bluntly, it fails hard at humor. Fifth, WHY THE HECK DOES SAWA HAVE WHITE HAIR??? >.
