Twilight Out of Focus episode 1 recap

The first episode of Twilight Out of Focus, titled A Love That Ends Before It Even Begins started with roommates Mao and Hisashi recording a video where they establish three rules of cohabitating. The first one is that Mao will keep Hisashi’s homosexuality and the fact that he has a boyfriend secret, the second is that Hisashi won’t make any moves on Mao romantically, and thirdly, they will respect each other’s private time. 

The anime then moves on to Mao’s film club, where they decide to make a BL-themed movie. The director Ichikawa Giichi tells Mao that Hisashi will be perfect for the protagonist’s role and asks him to persuade his roommate. Even though Mao wants to ask him to change the casting, he can’t because Hisashi agrees to act in the film. The two then talk about their concerns and come to an agreement for the film, which both of them want to be good. However, Mao suddenly realizes that he has started to grow affectionate towards Hisashi, who already has a boyfriend, who calls him, complicating things even further.
