Storyline:Haruto spends a lonely high school. The new teacher, Aoyama, cares about him and starts an exchange diary. Haruto gradually opens up, but one day, when he was resting because of a cold, he was kissed by Aoyama who came to visit him. Agitated by the sudden incident, Haruto violently refused and Aoyama was chased away from teaching. Three years later: Haruto, who graduated from high school and became a host, has debts and sells his body. But suddenly he meets Aoyama again.User review:Even though the plot of the film focuses on the dark side of society and features fairly explicit gay sex, director Daisuke Yamanouchi wanted this film to also be targeted to Riku’s fanbase. He asked AV female directors on how to convey a female gaze in the love scenes between the two main characters, resulting in very delicate and intimate sequences. Yamanouchi also included another curious device from the Japanese anime world into The Shortest Distance: there are two different versions of the film, one with a lighter ending (Blanc) and another with a darker one (Noir). “It is a film you can enjoy twice”, said the director during the film promotion tour. Both versions only differ from each other in the last 15 minutes.
