Junjo Romantica, Vol. 01 by Shungiku Nakamura
3.0
Ah yes, I remember why I was uncomfortable about this show/manga at times... the start in which Usami rapes Misaki. I would definitely call it that given that he, without any consent or whatever touches Misaki's penis and proceeds to do things to do it. Can we please keep rape stuff out of Yaoi?
Plus, at time Misaki is clearly not in the mood, but what is Usami's reaction? "Because I want to..." Whut dude? No. Later on he also gets jealous, gets in the way of Misaki making friends, and I could go on... I do have to say that later on I did see a better Usagi, and I am happy they talked about the whole brother thing.
I totally forgot, but we also have other couples! YAS! This time Egoist, and I cannot wait to meet the other couples. I remember that I loved that we switched between them. Seeing all sorts of romance and love.
All in all, despite the bumpy start and some iffy things, I am still happy I re-read this one. I really like the art though at times the characters just blur together. :P Will be continuing this manga.
