風と木の詩 SANCTUS－聖なるかな－
Directed by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko
Synopsis
Is it holy?
Son of a viscount and a Roma prostitute (both deceased), Serge is intelligent, sweet, talented, and alienated by his family due to his heritage. Upon being sent to his new school, he rooms with Gilbert Cocteau, a gorgeous loner of a boy who sells his body for reasons unknown. Serge's attempts to reach out to Gilbert fail spectacularly, and yet there is something in both of them that attracts them to each other.

Review by Dakota Noot ★★★½
Literally every Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy fanfic.
I haven't watched Yaoi since I was a teenager. It's fascinating to see the influence of "Death in Venice" (1971) and glam rock on these androgynous/young bishōnen. This OVA comes from the rising popularity of the genre: turning towards the home video boom. Just like fanfiction today, these are fascinating to see a female gaze on "gay" men. By contrast, actual gay Japanese men more likely gravitated towards gay pinku in theaters; or the larger AV market on home video. The muscles and even bear/bara bodies of AV are unimaginable here.
And yet, I (as a queer person) see myself more in these feminine boys than works actually made by & for gay men.
This is "purple prose" turned to video.
The Anne Rice anime that never was.Narratives are teased yet left unfinished.
Femboys applying foundation; yet not quite ready to leave. -
Review by Gregory⛧Joseph ★★★ 2
An OAV-length adaptation of Keiko Takemiya's groundbreaking Shōnen-ai shōjo manga, which began serialization in 1976. The swiftly-moving story centers on the romance between students Serge, a wealthy, even-mannered piano prodigy, and Gilbert, his extremely femme roommate who hides his shadowy past from his classmates. The setting is a French boarding school at the turn-of-the-century, evincing a Francophilia and romanticism for pre-war European life that is common in Japanese popular art, especially so in the 70s and in manga for young readers.
While my experience with yaoi/shōnen-ai manga is limited, I have read and enjoyed Moto Hagio's Heart of Thomas, which is a far more YA affair, a coming-of-age story for collective grief rather than an intimate chamber romance for two…

Kaze to Ki No Uta/The Poem of the Wind and Trees is a groundbreaking yaoi manga first released by Keiko Takemiya in the 1970s. This OVA, released in 1987, contains only the first volume and the finale. If you enjoy it, I definitely recommend reading the manga for the amazing art.
Essentially, this story is about how teenage characters deal with their developing sexuality, especially homosexual desire and love, in a society where love and sex between two boy are considered taboo (France in the 70s). As for the theme, it has… -

Review by sabrin ☆
surely there are others who remember the good old days of our youth... the intense emotional roller-coaster that is boarding school life, heartbreak in the name of artistic development, and weird roommates. right? maybe it's just serge then. this lovely melodramatic ova gave us lots of pining, lots of unresolved trauma, and lots of conflict in a european setting with the funkiest character names ever like pascal biquet and rosemarine aryon... which made me giggle. lol. so dramatic and fun.

Review by ulteriorvotive ★★★
pretty cluttered in its construction and gallingly incomplete even as a budget adaptation of the manga BUT still really fun/cool that this even exists and it's occasionally quite pretty!!!! gilbert cocteau unironically a fabulous character who is way more deep, ugly, and salaciously thorny than 95% of the millions of doomed angelic twinks meant to be utilized as a psychosexual transference tool for horny young ladies that he and Thomas Werner are responsible for co-spawning!!!!
