Hatsu-Koi (Eng:First Love)

2007, Dir.: Imaizuimi Koichi, 96 min

Tadashi, in his last year of high school, is secretly in love with his classmate Kota, but dares not tell him about it. One summer day, he was picked on by his classmates calling him “Fag!” which shooed Kota away from him. Interwoven with such familiar issues as coming out and gay marriage, and also sprinkled with both love-making and hard-core sex, Hatsu-koi is a growing-up story of a not-sosure- yet-but-so-much- desired gay teen that takes place in Tokyo from Summer 2007 to Spring 20XX.
