Zetsuai 1989
Original summaries from Sadomina's
Zetsuai page, since I suck at summarizing. I tried to shorten them a
bit, anyway.
Volume #1
|
|
Koji Nanjo awakes after suffering from heavy fever in the bed of Takuto,
the guy who found him lying at the corner of a sidestreet between garbage
cans under heavy rain and took him to his appartement.
Suddenly he remeberes the girl playing soccer he fell in love with six
years ago and he realises that he was mistaken: although someone told
him it was Serika Izum, the one he was referring to was Takuto Izumi,
her brother.
Koji is fascinated by him and tries to find out more about him, including
his dark past: his mother killed her husband right before Izumi's eyes.
When Koji gets well it's Izumi’s turn to catch the cold.: he faints
after a game and Koji catch him falling and takes him to hospital. Here,
while Izumi sleeping, he almost kiss the boy.
In the meantime newspapers reports Koji Nanjo, the famous idol missing,
was seen at a soccer game. The media try to find out about the player
he rescued and they reveal Izumi's dark past. Because of this, Izumi starts
hating Koji.

Volume #2
|
|
Koji is still confused about his
feelings, but at last he confesses to himself that he really fell in love
with Izum, no matter if he's a man. He tries to be the more close to his
beloved but that's only makes Izumi more and more annoyed.
The media, in the meantime, build up the story of Serika, Izumi's sister,
as Koji new love, and Izumi gets angry.
One day Serika is almost is ridden over by a car: Izumi runs after her but
Koji pushes him away and saves her: Izumi doesn't realise that Koji wanted
to save him, and not the girl.
Koji confesses his love to Izumi, but this one just gets made. He then tries
hard to give up his love by putting every energy in his work. But he can’t
deny his feelings which he can only express through his songs now. |
Volume #3
|
|
Koji’s love for Takuto gets
stronger every day and he can’t let go anymore. He just tries everything
to be close to him, and he even starts studies again in Izumi's school.
In the meantime, his manages gets angry because Koji spends more time chasing
Izumi than working on his next tour.
But, although he tries everything to show his love, Izumi just thinks he's
joking. The chance for Koji arrives when Takuto loses his home, and goes
to live in Koji's appartament. |
Volume #4
|
|
While working hard on his carreer
as a popstar, Koji still takes every chance to be close to Izumi. When this
one begins to put down his hostile behaviour and starts to trust Koji, the
singer cannot hold back his feelings any longer and it comes to an inevitable
disaster: Koji tries to prove his love to Izumi by forcing him, but in the
last moment he can control himself. |
Volume #5
|
|
Takuto tries to escape Koji’s
desperate love by dating a girl from his school, but Koji rapes her to show
how much he's seriously in love. Izumi apologizes to her and takes all the
fault on himself, because he just used her while Koji explains her he loves
Izumi too much to ever let him go: she understands his feelings and leaves.
Izumi's mother, thought dead, shows up telling him the truth: she murdered
her husband out of deep love and tells Izumi he he should never give up
his feelings if he ever loved someone. After this she jumps from the roof
of a high building.
Izumi almost breaks down in pain and Koji promises him that he will always
stay by his side, gaining Izumi's first trust.
When Izumi receives an offer to start a real soccer carreer in Italy, Koji
cannot hold back any longer and, in panic of the thought Takuto would leave
him forever, he rapes him. |
