THERE'S PANCAKES

MW

When I first heard about MW, I was initally intrigued—the original manga was written by Osamu Tezuka and starred two of my favorite actors, Yamada Takayuki (aka Serizawa Tamao from Crows Zero) and Tamaki Hiroshi (aka Chiaki Shinichi from Nodame Cantabile).
But when I read how Yamada Takayuki’s character, Garai, and Tamaki Hiroshi’s character, Yuki, had homosexual relationships in the manga, I was really weirded out by it. I mean, don’t get me wrong—I’m a fujoshi; I ship male relationships. In fact, I’m convinced that after high school, Serizawa and Tokio get married and live happily ever after. But it’s CHIAKI AND SERIZAWA. IN LOVE.

At least, that’s how I initially saw it, haha.

Needless to say, I stayed away from it. Far, far away from it.
That is, until a friend of mine (Thanks, Scripps!) showed me some screencaps from it….screencaps that immediately won my fujoshi-heart over.

And honestly, there should be more screencaps of this movie. Because if you saw the screencaps, you’d see how great of a movie it actually is.
It really is a fantastic movie—not only are Yamada Takayuki and Tamaki Hiroshi fantastic actors in it, but it’s really well directed and just altogether amazingly well done overall.
I was all the emotions by the end of it. All of them. 

So for those of you that were like me—initially weirded out by the idea of “Serizawa + Chiaki = <3”, don’t be!! Yamada Takayuki and Tamaki Hiroshi’s acting is so amazing that you’ll only be able to think of them as Garai and Yuki, not Serizawa and Chiaki.
But of course, that’s what screencaps are for, right?
To make you want to watch this movie. 
And post them, I shall.
