Classic Danmei Anime: "The Poem of Wind and Wood", the hustle and bustle of youth

When we talk about the ancestor of BL comics, we always mention "Absolute Love" by Minami Ozaki, but the real ancestor of BL comics, " Poem of Wind and Wood" by Keiko Takemiya is rarely known. .

As an animator who dared to portray gay sex explicitly in the 1970s, Keiko Takemiya is worthy of admiration.

Her style of painting is slender and graceful. She is good at carving out the most beautiful parts of the bodies of teenagers and girls, and this "Poem of Wind and Wood" is definitely the most representative of all her works. Sexually, the story presented in this work is extremely bold even today.

After being animated, this one-hour work premiered in 1987, under the supervision of Mr. Yasuhiko Kazuya, who has various talents. He is also the character design and general drawing supervisor of the well-known "Mobile Suit Gundam".

The film begins in the fall of 1887 in Arles , a city located in the Provence region of southern France. There, there is a men's boarding college called Laconblade.

Sergi Batur is 21 years old when he returns to La Quinn Brad College a few years after graduation to mourn his deceased roommate and partner— Gilbert Kirktu.

When Sergi walked into the house where they once lived together, the memory of Gilbert immediately lingered around him.

It was a rainy day,It means a lot to him that Serge came to La Quinblad College alone, the college his father had attended.

And until late at night, he didn't see his roommate until he was woken up by the sound of the door opening, Gilbert walked in staggeringly, and even almost kissed Sergi who came to help him, but he quickly He passed out. With the help of Pascal, Sergi learned that Gilbert had passed out because of vomit and helped him wake up. This was the first acquaintance between Sergi and Gilbert.

Gilbert, with a beauty that makes senior seniors covet, is a boy full of temptation. Gilbert was disgusted and isolated by his classmates because he traded his body with his senior. However, the senior Karl thought he was not bad in nature, so he arranged the pure Serge as his roommate and wanted to make him better.

But Gilbert only felt that Sergi's arrival was a trouble, so he asked a senior to help him in exchange for his body, just to make Sergi leave the dormitory. Of course, it didn't work out in the end, but it broke Sergi's heart, but he didn't give up on changing Gilber because of this, and he also believed that Gilber was really changing.

And this change is nothing but his own opinion.

Excellent in learning, lively and cheerful, and play the piano as well as his father.

What Sergi didn't realize was that he fell for Gilbert the first time he saw him, but at the same time he hated Gilbert's rambunctious behavior, which filled his heart with contradictions.

That's why he criticizes Gilber righteously,But it breaks my heart to see Gilbert desperately chasing after a suitor on horseback. When a student expressed his sincerity, he, who has always been elegant and gentle, even scuffled with the other party.

It was also late that night that he accepted Gilber and his inner love for Gilber.

Only, what he didn't know was the special relationship between Gilbert and Augustus.

The holidays are coming, Sergi is going to stay at school, but Gilbert waits for the news that breaks him - Augustus will not take him home.

He was crying and running into the snow-covered jungle, and met one of his pursuits, driven by desperation, he just wanted to keep hurting his own flesh. So, what Sergi saw when he returned to the dormitory was Gilbert's fragile and lifeless appearance.

At the end of the film, the two of them hug each other, and the adult Sergi is drawn away from his memories. He walks on the campus. In a trance, he seems to see Gilbert in the jungle. See dancing freely.

Gilbert is undoubtedly unfortunate, he is beautiful as a work of art, but he was born dirty, he grew up in the brutal and lustful means of August , thus contracting bad habits.

However, deep in his heart, he deeply loves August, and this deformed feeling is destined to hurt him, a misfortune that even Sergi's immortal love cannot save.

The one-hour video doesn't show everything in the manga, so it can't be completely faithful to the original.

in the video,What we can see is a sad and romantic time of youth, an ambiguous and simple emotion between two teenagers, a poem of youth that is gone and unforgettable.
