Kachou Fuugetsu

Ongoing | SHIMIZU Yuki | 2011 released

An interesting and interwoven series of love stories involving homosexual couples and/or gay men with unrequited passions for other men, all connected by their proximity and living arrangements within a rural Japanese region. (1) Within minutes of Masakawa commanding his landlord, Daiki, to fetch him a "cute little maid-boy" to service him "even at night", entomophobic newcomer, Itokawa Kazuto, runs stark naked and screaming into the arms of his neighbour, Dr. Hitomi Masakawa, after a nest of caterpillars drops into his bath. Masakawa understandably takes this as a sign of inevitable fate, although it seems Kazuto has some tragic inhibiting business in his past and needs to catch up so they're both on the same page. (2) Daiki, potter and landlord, is head-over-heels for Hanaoka town chairman and Yakubanoi reconstruction section manager, Kuroi Sawato, who is also the enigmatic lead singer of an indie band with heaps of fangirls who provide lots of free field labour. In order to provide his enigmatic housebound brother, Enma, with the right home, Sawato agrees to kiss Daiki, whom he despises, once a day. (3) After ex-Yakuza boss, Youmei, saves Hizuru from having his organs sold off, Hizuru adores him. Youmei's only interest in him, however, is as a servant.
