Synopsis Confession of love by pop star Nanjou Koji to soccer prodigy Izumi Takuto. (HBV)

Review The title means 'Desperate Love 1989' and it is the story of the gay love of a pop star, Koji, for a schoolboy footballer, Takuto. Shoujo anime and manga sometimes indulge in typically female "gay" fantasies of dishy boys together and this is one of the better known examples. Koji pursues an initially reluctant Takuto; nothing very explicit appears on screen however.
Takuto comes from an ordinary family; Koji comes from a wealthy family who would rather he pursued a business career. Lots of emotional conflict, therefore, and it's quite an attractive anime. (GC)
OZAKI Minami distinctive and angular drawing style makes this a unique anime, along with good rock music. Recommended for connoisseurs. (HBV) Rating ****

Credits Segments directed by different directors.
