Junjo Romantica, Vol. 01 by Shungiku Nakamura
4.0
This review's for all of published Junjou Romantica volumes.
This manga was the one who grabbed me into gay-understanding-and-addicting world. The cute and sometimes angst relationship of Misaki and Usagi-san always got me swooned off my feet. LOL.
This story told about 3 different relationship:
Junjou Romantica is a story about Misaki, a boy who's gonna go to college with a mess of a scores. Always supporting, his brother finally asked his bestfriend, the smart-rich-cool Usami Akihiko, to teach his baby brother so he could pass the university exam. And between his dissaproval toward his brother's idea and his bad feeling toward Akihiko (who on their first meet keep hanging around Misaki's brother like a leech), he found the heartache and the love Akihiko held for his brother.
Junjou Egoist is about Hiroki, Akihiko's childhood friend who always had a one-sided feeling for said author. When he cried in the middle of the park, he met Nowaki, a high school student who "had him at hello". Knowing that Hiroki was a student from a high-rated university, Nowaki insisted Hiroki to teach him, both in school and heart subjects.
Junjou Terrorist is focused on Miyagi, Hiroki's workmate and a professor for japanese literature, who always thought that he could never forget his high school crush for his teacher, until his ex-wife's little brother and his Dean's son, Shinobu, came back from Australia and wormed his prescence through Miyagi's heart like a little terrorist.
All of the three stories gave a different vibe. The Romantica couple always give you a romantic-and-angst-filled story, with the insecure Misaki and secretive Usagi. The Egoist couple would give you a cute feeling, with Nowaki's puppy-dog eyes and Hiroki who's not a romantic person but he'll try for Nowaki, anyway. And the Terrorist couple would bring you a good laugh, with Shinobu crazed idea to be with Miyagi and Miyagi's dry humor to pry Shinobu off of him. I love the Terrorist couple the most, because they're funny, but that doesn't mean that I don't love the other couples either.
