Japan has been upfront with a number of teen-targeted gay themed films, and a number of them were easy-favourites. Hatsu Koi is another gay themed film that deals with gay teenagers in love.
Tadashi is in love with Kota. However, Kota is afraid that being labeled as a gay may cause him trouble. So, Kota keepts his distance away from Tadashi, which is hurting Tadashi.
Maybe I am shallow, but I don't really see the reason to be obsessed with Kota. There is hardly any chemistry here. Unlike otherr gay themed films from Japan, where the actors are usually cute, this film fails to pick a good one to make Kota stands out.

The consequences of being too beautiful and having too much sexual charisma are many and tragic and lead to great deals of drama in those Boys Love movies, but the ”romantic” endings are rarely very satisfying from a gay point of view. "I love you, now you’re dead so I’ll kill myself, too!" or "Now that you have been paralyzed and can't have sex any longer, I can finally admit I love you" are actually more troubling than "romantic."
I’m sure you had the bishonen sickness, too, when you were in high school, ruining the lives of your many suitors as well as your own with your sexual powers. More likely though, your first crush didn’t go anywhere because it turned out he was straight or wasn’t interested (if you bothered to awkwardly ask him out at all) and you spent time wishing you had other gay people around to hang out with.
