A young actor becomes fascinated with his gay co-star and develops a crush, only to coerce him into sex in order to get past it. He's thoroughly rejected afterwards.
He dates someone else to try and move past it, but his feelings don't catch up to his lover's, and he's left wishing he could get over his co-star -- although it's impossible when the co-star begins to express an interest in him.
I honestly wish our hero had come to love Katagiri. One scene aside, their relationship was above board, loving, and supportive. I had a suspicion the co-stars would end up together, and I was right. I don't mind the ending - you love who you love - but I think he would've been happier with Katagiri in the long run.
This story deals the pain of one-sided love and the graciousness of the one in love to wish happiness on the other person. I hope the boyfriend finds someone to love him back.
