Twilight Out of Focus Vol. 02: Afterimages in Slow Motion

What happens when two rival directors who hate each other’s guts are forced to share one roof? And what if one of them has a secret he’s been harboring for years? Throw in a shared love of movies, BL manga, and an accidental kiss, and you’ve got the next heart-pumping love story in Midorigaoka High and the sequel to Twilight Out of Focus 1.

Jin Kikuchihara, third-year director, main actor, and president of the film club, and second-year director Giichi Ichikawa see eye-to-eye on very little. Jin is flashy, flirty, and focused on keeping everyone happy, while Giichi expects the best from himself and others, and will compromise nothing to see his vision through. Constantly at each other’s necks, the two can hardly stand to be in the same club. But what will happen when family trouble forces them to live in the same room? Will their shared interests bring them closer as friends, push them further apart as rivals, or something else entirely?
