Let's Color Eat Together, Aki and Haru: More Please!

Since I loved the first movie, I am more than excited to get another serving of these color-coded boys realizing just how much they love each other over shared meals, so I'm jumping right in!

Aki is a Yellow/Orange Oddity. His name means "Autumn" and he is in charge of cooking.

Haru is a Blue Boy. His name means "Spring" and he is in charge of cleaning.

Oh, and there's Chief Penguin who watches over their seasonal adventures of being in love.

Because Aki and Haru are IN LOVE since their names on their doors are in the other boy's color, which means they have been exchanging colors (and love) since forever.

But it's obvious that Aki loves Haru since he wears his heart on his sleeve and pink on his body.

However, even though it might be harder to notice, Haru also loves Aki since he constantly combines their colors and wears green.

This is what drives the sequel — All the subtle ways these boys love each other because Haru, the cleaner, does cook Aki's favorite curry with a little yellow hair tie in his hair since his blonde boy is always on his mind.

And Aki wears a blue hair tie when he tries to come up with ways to make Haru happy since he is always thinking about his Blue Boy(friend) and his happiness.

They are always thinking about each other, and they are always wearing each other's colors and mixing them into green.

Aki loves their domestic life together and wishes to never leave it.

And Haru loves his bright and loud Yellow/Orange Oddity, just the way he is, and even states that he wants Aki to find a job that he can be himself at.

So even though Haru is happy that Aki found a job he will love, it doesn't mean he won't miss Aki, which is why he is in green and orange for his boy.

But Aki doesn't see that. As he sits in Haru's blue with Chief Penguin, he wishes Haru would say that he will miss him.

Because Haru doesn't express himself, Aki thinks Haru doesn't love him the same way he loves him, but Haru, in his pink, can't even think about moving out of the place they have shared together for the past four years without getting upset.

So he turns black instead.

Haru can't even function at work without thinking about Aki leaving their blissful green life behind.

So as much as Aki believes it's better to keep his feelings to himself since he doesn't think Haru feels the same (even though that Blue Boy is always right behind him in whatever he does),

He is wrong.

Haru loves Aki just as much as Aki loves Haru.

In fact, Haru's entire world is Aki. But even as they stand there wearing their colors seeing the writing photos on the wall, Aki still doesn't fully understand.

So after Aki painfully confesses that he loves Haru in a way he fears Haru will hate him for, Haru reassures Aki that he can love him and that he doesn't want to spend his life with anyone else but Aki.

And even though Haru doesn't say he loves Aki back in that moment, the love isn't one-side. The love, even if unspoken, is right there between them. Always.

Thankfully, Haru makes that clear. With Aki in both their colors, Haru tells Aki that he loves him too, and they walk back to their home hand-in-hand.

So even though they have different graduation ceremonies, they still carry each other with them in their ties that share both their colors.

Although they are separated after graduated, fortunately they are color-coded boys in love who understand that distance makes the heart grow fonder, and continue their relationship long-distance while Haru keeps Aki's sweater warm back home.

And the sequel ends the same way the first movie did —

With the color-coded boys in love reuniting and showing affection, trust, and connection by touching foreheads.

You know, like penguins do.

Can't wait for the next picture to be their wedding.

Threequel when?
