Junjou Romantica is an ongoing Boys' Love manga by Shungiku Nakamura, which began in Asuka Ciel in 2002, later moving to Emerald in 2014. It follows the interrelated stories of three different couples as they navigate the ups and downs of romantic relationships. The series has an anime adaptation, the first season of which ran for 12 episodes from April to June 2008, and a second season running another 12 episodes from October to December 2008. In March 2012, an OVA was released alongside the manga's 16th volume. A third season later premiered in the summer of 2015.The central pair are university student Takahashi Misaki and Usami "Usagi-san" Akihiko, an eccentric, award-winning author. The two get off to a rocky start: Misaki has been raised by his older brother Takahiro ever since the two lost their parents years ago. Takahiro is oblivious to his good friend Usagi's unrequited love for him, but Usagi's feelings are obvious to Misaki. Misaki dislikes Usagi at first, but comes to sympathize with him and the two grow closer. When Takahiro and his new wife move away, Misaki moves in with Usagi to remain close to his college of choice. Despite often being at odds with each other, they fall in love.Temperamental Kamijou Hiroki is a childhood friend of Usami Akihiko (yes, that kind of friend). Hiroki is heartbroken over his own unrequited love when Kusama Nowaki unexpectedly enters his life. Nowaki is an orphan who started working straight out of junior high; aiming for college, he asks Hiroki to be his tutor and won't take no for an answer. This being a BL series, the situation leads up to a love confession from Nowaki. Hiroki is initially reluctant, but Nowaki's kindness and persistence win him over. Their story picks up again six years later, a year after Nowaki suddenly left to study medicine abroad. When he returns just as suddenly, Hiroki is forced to think about what Nowaki means to him and the two must reevaluate their relationship.Miyagi Yoh is a college professor and a colleague of Hiroki's. First seen playfully teasing the easily ruffled Hiroki, it is later revealed that his cheerful demeanor actually covers up a deeper sadness caused by a tragedy in his past. Miyagi finds an unlikely suitor in Takatsuki Shinobu, a high school student and his ex-wife's younger brother. Miyagi continually rejects him, but Shinobu stubbornly refuses to give up his pursuit. Miyagi begins to realize that he needs to move on and that Shinobu's affection may not be so unwanted after all.Isaka Ryuuichiro is secretly in love with his caretaker and former Childhood Friend Asahina Kaoru. However, Asahina seems to be obsessed with Isaka's father... or so it seems.Now has a Character Sheet.Available subtitled on DVD. | |

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other | |
| Junjou Romantica (Manga) / int_10dcbe05 | comment |
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: For all that Misaki brushes off, derides, and criticizes Usagi's professions of love (and ownership), he sure is quick on the draw when his senpai seizes the chance to make a move on Usagi. Also, when Mizuki enters the picture Misaki snaps into defensive mode literally within the space of five minutes of meeting him. Never mind that Mizuki's in love with Kaoruko. Hiroki may be embarrassed by the slightest display of affection from Nowaki, but the second he thinks Nowaki might be feeling hurt or, worse, drifting away from him, out come the dramatic confessions. And occasional leather bags.◊ Miyagi initially showed strong resistance to Shinobu's repeated declarations of love, but panicked and raced to the airport the minute he thought he'd lost Shinobu for good. For all of Kaoru's stoic persona, he completely lost it when Isaka decided to have a matchmaking dinner with the other company president's daughter | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Junjou Romantica (Manga) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Arguably subverted when Hiroki comes home to discover Nowaki asleep and half-naked with another man on the floor. Nowaki says several times that nothing was going on and it wasn't what it looked like — but Hiroki never really thought it was, because he knows Nowaki doesn't lie to him. He does think something is going on, but he doesn't suspect Nowaki of cheating on him. | |

Only Six Faces | |
| Junjou Romantica (Manga) / int_18a84025 | comment |
Only Six Faces: While characters are differentiated by hairstyles, colors, and face shapes, some do look like each other. Misaki and Hiroki does almost exactly resemble each other apart from hair color and eye size. The only thing that differentiates Nowaki and Miyagi is the hair color and the presence of eye bags. | |

Sick Episode | |
| Junjou Romantica (Manga) / int_25f33d8 | comment |
Sick Episode: In one Egoist chapter, Nowaki is ill and Hiroki runs down the list of nursing cliches while worriedly taking care of him. Of course in the end, it's revealed that Nowaki wasn't sick at all, just tired, and Hiroki was getting ahead of himself. And in the end Hiroki gets sick. It's implied that this is because he spent the winter night naked after having sex with Nowaki. | |

Holding Hands | |
| Junjou Romantica (Manga) / int_27074b46 | comment |
Holding Hands: Each of the main couples in the opening. In episode nine, Akihiko holds Hiroki's hand to keep him warm as he walks him home because they only have one pair of gloves between them. It's also as close as Hiroki gets to expressing affection for Nowaki in public during their early dates. Akihiko and Misaki on their trip to Hokkaido. Misaki is embarrassed, but Usagi notes that it's not like anyone they know is watching. Which is somewhat weird considering Akihiko is supposed to be famous, but it's justifiable in that authors' faces are rarely as well-known as those of, say, actors or musicians. | |

Loophole Abuse | |
| Junjou Romantica (Manga) / int_295008dd | comment |
Loop Hole Abuse: In chapter 29.5, Misaki becomes interested in Usagi's history and relationship with Hiroki. Usagi however, tells the former to kiss him as a cost for telling. Misaki's solution? Uses Suzuki to kiss him instead. Usagi is not amused. Probably unintentional but early in the story, Miyagi does try to prove that there is nothing between him and Hiroki by citing that the latter is gay. Shinobu doesn't take it for a second. | |

Gratuitous English: When Shinobu's friend from Australia comes to visit, Shinobu delivers the infamous "YEH! I WAH RORRING ON ZA FROOR RAFFING!" line. It only gets worse when Miyagi joins in with "he'r be wiz me fo'a whire". Note that Shinobu is supposed to be quite skilled in English, having studied in Australia for years. Somehow, the Australian pen-friend manages to sound even worse than Shinobu. | |

Rape and Switch: It's implied that Akihiko is homosexual due to being molested by his male tutor when he was a very young child. While this is only a wild guess Misaki made when he attempts to figure out the older man's backstory, Akihiko never denies that it didn't happen. | |

"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot | |
| Junjou Romantica (Manga) / int_44989f6f | comment |
"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: Nowaki disappears from Hiroki's life for a year without so much as leaving a note. Hiroki is understandably pissed off, and when Nowaki comes back they have a fight that lasts for weeks before finally being resolved. It's not until after they've made up and decided to move in together that Hiroki remembers that, um, actually Nowaki did tell him he was going to leave... and, in fact, Hiroki encouraged him to do so... it's just that Hiroki wasn't paying enough attention to the conversation to remember it afterwards. Ooops. Lampshaded by Hiroki in the end. | |

Crazy Jealous Guy: Nowaki and Shinobu have their moments, but Akihiko is made of this trope. Mizuki is an odd example: the more he is jealous of Kaoruko's affection and attention toward Misaki, the more he attempts to be "clingy" toward Akihiko. Hiroki literally punched out a doctor because he hugged Nowaki. | |

Age-Gap Romance | |
| Junjou Romantica (Manga) / int_52196c03 | comment |
Age-Gap Romance: Usagi and Misaki have a ten year age gap between them. It is a major point of conflict in the Junjou Terrorist sections featuring the 35-year-old Miyagi and his boss's son, the 18-year-old Shinobu. Miyagi worries about the relationship ruining his career and reputation if it gets out and Shinobu is self-conscious about his relative lack of sexual experience and the fear that Miyagi isn't taking him seriously. This is strangely contrasted with Nowaki and Hiroki where one of their big issues in their relationship is the four-year age gap, mainly due to achievements which are tied to age: Hiroki is steadily advancing in his career while Nowaki is still a medical student. | |

Rape as Backstory | |
| Junjou Romantica (Manga) / int_524f94d3 | comment |
Rape as Backstory: Implied with Usagi. When Misaki is accidentally guessing his life story correctly, part of what he guesses is that he was taken advantage of by an older boy (in the anime, "He did naughty things to you." In the manga, "He violated you."). Add to that the fact that "an older boy" in England told 10-year-old Usagi that a kiss was a "cheering-up charm"... | |

Not What It Looks Like | |
| Junjou Romantica (Manga) / int_52d1f46e | comment |
Not What It Looks Like: Miyagi, being the type of person to playfully glomp Hiroki just to annoy him, gets into a few misunderstandings when Shinobu walks in on them once or twice, even though Miyagi's just joking around - well, except maybe that scene in the Egoist arc. No one knows what that's about. Arguably subverted when Hiroki comes home to discover Nowaki asleep and half-naked with another man on the floor. Nowaki says several times that nothing was going on and it wasn't what it looked like — but Hiroki never really thought it was, because he knows Nowaki doesn't lie to him. He does think something is going on, but he doesn't suspect Nowaki of cheating on him. | |

Bedsheet Ladder | |
| Junjou Romantica (Manga) / int_5a7b4065 | comment |
Bedsheet Ladder: Misaki uses one in the second season after Haruhiko locks him in a room. It tears. Misaki is oddly Genre Savvy on this one. Unfortunately this is only after he's halfway down. | |

Bunny-Ears Lawyer | |
| Junjou Romantica (Manga) / int_61b8f9e2 | comment |
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Usagi is a talented, successful writer whose books have hit the best seller list no matter what genre he writes in. He also sleeps in a room full of toys, however, and has entire floors of his apartment devoted to, respectively, a 1/24th model of the Great Wall of China, a culture of marimo, and teddy bears. Oh, and Aikawa can speak for the validity of his deadlines. Miyagi has a huge reputation among literary academics but spends much of his time slacking off, reading horoscopes and annoying his colleague Hiroki. More shown in Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi and Mistake, but Isaka has some really odd habits and spends a lot of his time trying to find ways to get out of work. Everyone puts up with him though because he's a brilliant editor and Magnificent Bastard who you do not want to piss off. | |

Manly Tears | |
| Junjou Romantica (Manga) / int_64e975cf | comment |
Manly Tears: Shinobu has the propensity to cry when Miyagi says something that proves that, contrary to what he thinks, their relationship is not at a dead end. After the grave scene in particular, Miyagi comments on Shinobu's "manly way of crying." note Of course, given that Shinobu was actually blubbing like a baby in that scene there's a good chance that he was being sarcastic. | |

"Shut Up" Kiss: Usagi uses this to stop Misaki from crying. Also in Junjou Minimum, where Usagi effectively silences a ranting, sobbing Hiroki with this. His explanation to his understandably freaked-out friend is that he was taught it as a "cheering-up charm". | |

Cannot Spit It Out | |
| Junjou Romantica (Manga) / int_6f07b093 | comment |
Cannot Spit It Out: Misaki can't seem to get up the nerve to say "I love you" to Usagi, even when he, uh, really really tries. Hiroki performs better under pressure, but not by much. However, Misaki does manage to say it in Volume 8 when faced with a doubt-ridden Akihiko. Not that he ever says it again. On a flip side, this reticence on Hiroki's and Misaki's part is also one of the reasons why Takahiro and Hiroki's family have no idea that their charges are in relationships with men. | |

Coming-Out Story | |
| Junjou Romantica (Manga) / int_6f19054d | comment |
Coming-Out Story: The refusal to come out for several main characters are actually quite common and realistic. Misaki and Hiroki have family-related problems (disappointment, disinheritment, Usagi being his brother's best friend etc.), and Miyagi has social stigma to age differences (for record, Shinobu was still underage when they began their relationship), his lover being his boss son and ex-wife's brother. Even Akihiko himself also doesn't want to disclose his sexuality to the public as said in the early story. | |

All-Loving Hero | |
| Junjou Romantica (Manga) / int_99e14f05 | comment |
All-Loving Hero: Misaki is constantly friendly to everyone, and will do anything to help them out (even if it's to his own detriment) to the point where by the time he has finished university he has spent all his time trying to help and take care of other people and has no plans for himself. This does not always work out well for him, either. In fact, the only person where this differs is with Usagi, where he typically plays the Deadpan Snarker and will shut him down whenever he can... that said, the moment he thinks there is something wrong he will immediately worry and do whatever he can to fix it. Case in point, Mizuki is perpetually being horrible to Misaki and insulting him, and the only thing Misaki ever does is get annoyed at him, and even then he feels bad about that! | |

First Love | |
| Junjou Romantica (Manga) / int_a00fb5fd | comment |
First Love: Misaki never went out with any girls due to him spending time taking care of his brother. Thus, Akihiko eventually becomes his first love Nowaki falls in love with Hiroki at first sight the day that the latter was "dumped". Junjou Minimum subtly implied that he fell in love with Hiroki since the day he ran away from home and the latter comforts him and encourages him to live for the future. Shinobu falls in love with Miyagi the day that the latter rescued him from gangsters on the way to his sister's wedding. Akihiko has had fruitless love for Takahiro for a very long time and had to endure it. Same goes for Hiroki. Miyagi has been in love with his former teacher for many years and refused to move on until Shinobu melts his icy heart. Isaka has been in love with Kaoru for a long time. The feeling is mutual. | |

| Junjou Romantica (Manga) / int_a0774be0 | comment |
Forgotten First Meeting: Nowaki recalls the day he found out the orphanage owners weren't his real parents and tried running away. He stops at a park when his tires go flat, only to have his future lover walk by, inquires, and then start dishing out life lessons about the obstacles kids must get through before tattling to the patrolman. Years later Nowaki remembers the encounter and mentions it to Hiroki, but neither realizes it was each other. Made funnier by Hiroki remarking that he probably grew up to be a horrible person. | |

Rushed Inverted Reading: Hiroki once does this to hide his embarrassment in front of Nowaki. Nowaki doesn't notice, and neither did most of the watchers until the subs told them. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Junjou Romantica (Manga) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The butler names "Sebastian" and "Tanaka" could be interpreted as references to Black Butler. Unless of course Kuroshitsuji references this series instead. It's also possible that due to Usami Akihiko being a walking stereotype of a rich boy with a troubled past, Misaki automatically assumes that the butler must stereotypically be named Sebastian. He was wrong since it turned out to be Tanaka, possibly one of the most ordinary Japanese surnames ever (like Smith for westerners). Even the Usami family pet names are stereotypical: Alexander for the long-haired dog and Tama for the cat. | |

If It's You, It's Okay | |
| Junjou Romantica (Manga) / int_d31da2e3 | comment |
If It's You, It's Okay: Shinobu seems to be the only guy Miyagi's ever been interested in. Misaki seems averse to the idea of going out with guys, and even states that he's not interested in them, but Usagi is a "special case." | |

Cast Full of Gay | |
| Junjou Romantica (Manga) / int_d32cd9f5 | comment |
Cast Full of Gay: Understandable, since it's a BL series with three main couples, but it still seems like Takahiro and Usagi's dad may be the only straight males in the entire series. Lately Mizuki and Kaoruko's relationship 'has gotten more attention, though. Considering how Nakamura develops this particular universe (8 different stories across 2 different series), we'll probably get a spin-off with them as well. | |

Write Who You Know | |
| Junjou Romantica (Manga) / int_df9eda66 | comment |
Write Who You Know: invoked An in-story example, where one of the characters uses the names of people he knows for his stories. Misaki is quite annoyed when he finds he's been written into Usagi's BL novels... And then there's Nakamura herself. In an adjacent series (set in the same universe) Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi the main characters work in a publishing company editing shojo manga. Most of their lives are spent trying to get mangaka to finish their work on time and hand it in! There are a lot of apologetic little notes in the corner along the lines of "this is what a good mangaka should do but, er..." It gets to the point where there is heavy leaning on the Fourth Wall. | |

Art Evolution: Notably from the first volume to the current one. Misaki now looks a bit manlier while Usagi now looks younger. The third season also has this due to the five years gap between this and the previous season. Especially Miyagi looks younger if the opening is any indication. | |

Running Gag | |
| Junjou Romantica (Manga) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Misaki has the habit of meeting Usagi's family at the train station as they're trying to make sense of how to ride it. The first is Haruhiko (Akihiko's half-brother), then second is Fuyuhiko (Akihiko's father). The last is Natsuko, Akihiko's mother, being picked up instead seems to show just how different she is from her family. | |
