    Toxic – Miyamoto Kano

    The last thing Arata expected was for his cousin that he’d almost forgotten about to show up on his doorstep. But it soon becomes apparent that Kazuto is not what he appears to be.

    I know it says supernatural but that ghost thing seemed to just come out of the blue.

    Osananajimi wa Boko no Hero! – Mizuki Tama

    Haruzake Nao is a sweet boy who has started work at a flower shop. His cousin, Monjirou, is the intimidating Vice President of the Tadano Group. Since childhood Monjirou has protected Nao from all sorts of trouble.
    While Monjirou may harbor secret intentions towards Nao, Nao himself may think of Monjirou as more than just a childhood friend. Monjirou is, after all, his hero!

    Ugh! Fucked up and cliched. There’s innocent and there’s weak and stupid.  There’s protective and there’s creepy and obsessive. Guess which one’s what.

    Monjirou and Nozawa was a better ship.

    Switch – Naked Ape

    Eto Kai may look like a squeaky clean kid, but the Greater Kanto Narcotics Control Division’s new investigator hides a violent alter ego and a dangerous past. With his stoic partner Hal Kurabayashi, Kai is assigned to track down and stop the distribution of Dragon Speed, a dangerous new drug. But Ryugen, the syndicate trafficking the drug, is almost impossible to infiltrate. Add street violence and a jurisdiction war with the Meguro Police, and poor Kai is in for some very long days at the office.

    Riveting narcotics drama but with shounen ai so low-key it’s almost non-existent.

    Imitator – Katou Setsuko

    Satomi is your average older-uke salaryman, a hard worker guy type. When one of his co-workers, Oikawa, approaches him, he finds a resemblance between Oikawa and his son – who turned out as the same age as Oikawa. Later when Oikawa invited himself to infiltrate Satomi’s house, he makes a shocking confession enough to make Satomi falls for him.

    Satomi is going to have a really awkward day in the office…

FLICKer: Balloons #shortfilm

This is a short film about falling in love with someone who isn’t ready to be seen with you. It’s about shame, first love, public affection, and losing someone before you ever got to be real with them.
