"Seven days are enough, to fall in love"
Is what this little simple, romantic BL movie is about.

I'm going to talk about both films simultaneously, because the whole story consists of two films that represtened the manga truthfully.

First film: Seven days: Monday to Thursday
Second film: Seven days: Friday to Sunday

If you are looking for a hot and sex filled drama, then these movies are not for you.
The slow, sometimes dull and tedious tempo between scenes can be boring for some people.

This story is strongly character-driven, it rather puts the emotinal side of the character in forefront instead of the physical interactions.
Even tho there werent a lot of speech and physical interactions between the characters, the actors could totally convey the emotions that the characters felt, both with their face and eyes, and their body language.


While Seryou (Hirose Tomoki) plays a fragile, moderate, emotional, quiet guy, who does not talk about his emotions, on the other hand Yuzuru (James Takeshi Yamada) portrays a very temperamental, hot-headed, plain-spoken, slow-witted guy. Thats what makes them compatible.
They are both disappointed in love, and they both long for a love they have never had the opportunity to do before.(Unconditional love)

Seryou Touji gives a week to everybody to date with him, but these usually end up the same: not working out due to them not being able to reach his heart in a way he wants them to (in the past he once failed in love, so he has a hard time trusting) Yuzuru is the only one, who didnt let him go after 1 week, but rather felt real emotions towards him, and wanted a serious relationship with him.
Shino Yuzuru's cheeky and hot-headed personality is a let down to all girls, and they usually break up, because nobody has appreciated his inner virtue. (only Seryou who loves his real personality.)


Yuzuru and Seryou relationship is kinda of an accident considering it started out with asking out for a date jokingly, even tho deep down it was love at the first sight, this is that slow process, in which they clarify their misunderstanding and their emotions.

Their lack of communication caused a lot of misunderstanding, this also made me feel uneasy and frustrated sometimes, tho in some ways its understandable why they never talked openly.
They were both fully convinced that their feelings for each other were not reciprocal, and this one-week date would be over in a week.
What they didnt expect is that the ongoing situation will actually reveal their true emotions.

The music fits the slow tempo movies almost too well. It was very reassuring and sensual at the same time. It suited the mood of both films.

I cant really choose a favorite scene because I liked all of them, the way they got closer (the first, second, third kiss, staring at eachother, inner monologues, face touching, smiling at eacother, jealousy). There was everything: desire, fear, anxiety but finding eachother (the long kiss scene radiates that aswell)

All in all - (of course not perfect) but an outstanding piece.

Totally recommend if you want to see a light, romantic BL film without the cheesy overdramatic things.
