THE WORST

Im just gonna say it. I HATE IT. I cant even rate this on the scale from 1-10 since it doesnt even deserve 1.

The art is terrible, the plot is simple and too predictable too. The uke's personality is annoying and he's stupid, single-minded to the point where i cant stand it. I have no idea why this, or any of her works, is so popular. I can name tons of artist whose art and plot are much better and deserve this one's popularity, for example ZARIA Ranmaru, 3745HOUSE...

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS TO ANY OF YOU WHO LOVES PRETTY ART AND GREAT PLOT LINE SINCE THIS IS A TOTAL MESS WHICH I CAN NEVER CAST MY EYES OVER TWICE.

HATE IT

this, was my first yaoi manga and i loved it back then but now i can see many flaws of the manga. (and the mangaka)
1. Junjou Romantica
what's there realtionship? usagi is way too overprotective and misaki grow a fu*king goddamn backbone. usagi cannot, CANNOT control his emotions and issues. misaki complains too much. ugh, i just hate the both of them so much.
2.Junjou Egoist
Guh, freaking dopes. (i don't actually know what that word means) nowaki's is just too trusting and delusional. he hopes for things in the relationship that will never be met and i'm not sure if they even have a relationship cause they hardly ever see each other and when they do they just have sex or eat. hiroki is just goddamn bi**hy. he evil and crooked and i think that they should stop seeing each other.
3.Junjou Terrorist
This is just goddamn horrible! i can't even say how much i hate this freaking couple! Argh! The hatred i have for this manga shall never be felt or seen...

MY FAVORITE YAOI.

I just love Junjou Romantica and can't never get enough of it. The three couples have teached me how to love. Something that I really love from Junjou is the "romance", seriously the romantic scenes make my heart melt. And the drama, the funny moments omg. Everything is just so precious about Junjou.

And the art work has improved so much!!

Usagi-san is my favorite character, I just can't not love this man, eventhough he's really obssesive and possesive.

But yeah, all the yaoi fans HAVE TO read the manga and not only watch the anime.

I wish JR never comes to an end.

and Nakamura-sensei please make a new chapter of Junjou Terrorist T.T

It's funny how my favourite manga of all time is Sekaiichi Hatsukoi, obviously by the same mangaka, and yet my feelings for the two stories are completely different. I know that this came out a long while before SH, yet the difference in quality is unbelievable. It literally took me 3 attempts to get past the first chapter of this, as the art is just so unsightly.

Art aside, the characters are awful too. Especially the main couple. I love tsundere types, yet Misaki is beyond that. He is just irritating beyond belief. Now I know some people compare him to Onodera from SH, but I think there is a huge difference. For starters, Onodera actually has a reason to be hesitant when it comes to his relationship with Takano, and even though he does refuse Takano at times, they aren't even an offical couple (yet). While Misaki is just so indecisive for no damn reason. He can't even willingly hug Usami, even after they've been together for like 2 years or something. Seriously, wth? Why does he need to constantly blush and act like a total virgin, after all they've been through?

The other couples are okay, nothing outstanding. And has anyone else noticed that all 3 main couples seem to go through the exact same problems one after the other?

So I'm really not a fan of this. My favourite couple is Junjou Mistake, although that's mostly because it's linked much closer to Sekaiichi Hatsukoi, rather than with the Junjou Romantica universe.

This is an amazing serise, but they should have had a little bit more drama, not with Misaki, but in gerneral have Usagi-san get tired of him and Misaki sees that and gives in. I don't know, just something that wants to make you cry like you wanted to at the moment when Usagi-san did show he was sad. The part where Misaki was asked by his bro to move back in, and Usagi-san didn't really wanna stop him but when he tried to be romantic Misaki pushed him away and the sheet hit Usagi-sans face and he was really sad. I really wanted to punch Misaki for that. Misaki's actions don't bother me, but he should do something really romantic for him *coughs* for example *coughs again* Dress up as a very sexy bunny and let Usagi-san eat him. Yeah... then Usagi-san can write about it and Misaki gets mad and calls him a baka (: Misaki doesn't bother me much. Seems like all the bottom people are like that, it is cute <3

Really dislike the Junjou Romantica segment

Its such a shame as well since I really love the other two couples, but Misaki and Usami have always been my biggest pet peeves before and after I read this manga. The art of the manga always put me off for a pretty long time, but due to the hype I decided that as a hardcore Yaoi fan I had to give it a go. Can't say I was proved wrong, since the main couple continued to irritate me, but the other two couples were enough to get me by ^^

Misaki is so annoying -__- I hate the undecided and super easily embarrassed characters >.> I feel so sorry for Usagi-San. It's so damn frustrating to read it and not be able to smack Misaki around, Gawd e_e He's worse than a virgin maiden in the 1800's. I think that after the third time of doing it with someone you like, you would stop acting like that.
Most of the ukes in works from this mangaka tend to be like that, what's with the super embarrassed adult men? @_@ After a while it gets old. I think if I was a seme in this mangakas universe I would get tired of dealing with whinny ukes and turn straight.
There, I am done ranting XD I just had to get it off my chest. Hopefully it will improve as the series continues.


The series is good, and others may not mind characters like that so go ahead and read it, it's interesting :3

For me it is between Romantica and Egoist--like everyone else: I can't stand Terrorist. That kid is rotten to the core and not likeable. Misaki annoys me 75% of the time, too--the saving grace of Romantica is that Usagi-san is THE best character in the entire manga! Usagi-san makes me laugh out loud at his ceaseless craziness and uber-cuteness/quirkiness. I understood at forst that Misaki was having trouble coping with physical desires, but come on now--it's been 4 YEARS and he's still so immature? You get to feeling VERY badly for poor Usagi-san after a while! sad As for Egoist, even though Hiro-san is as hot/cold as Misaki, he is a tad more honet about his feelings and actually has his sweet moments. So I like their dynamic a lot--Hiro-san is my 2nd favorite character. Aikawa-san is my 3rd favorite, lol.

LOOOOVELY!!!! but mean!!

i'm just bound to this!!! i'm soooo hoooked!, but after all of this time reading other mangas and seeing the situation of Misaki and Usami from another point of view... it brooked my heart!
I dunno why but, i just never thought of Usami's feelings!, i mean he's sooo desperate all the time!
must be horrible to be.. HIM!,
All day long loving someone so much that it hurts, and that THAT someone doesn't even tells u he loves u or ANYTHING AT ALL!!.... i mean al LOT can be lost in translation and what u seem to want to express, may not be what u are expressing at all!...
He must be on a state on completeee AGONY!! all day, just by thinking that Misaki can leave him just about anytime he wants!... and that again.. just brokes my heart... :(
Cause this one, was one of my first yaoi mangas so.. i was more drawn into the: "OMG WTF do i feel for him" from Misaki that i am now, cause i've seen other works and read other histories where the character just kind of accepted rather easy his change of sexuality... -.-'
And don't get me wrong i DO think that, THAT IS a really big change into someone's live!! an that is correct to make the transition sloooowly... but i mean just look at the poor bastard he's loosing it!!
EEEverytime he thinks Masaki is gonna walk out of the house and never return again!... so.. i just hope in the future more it's written about Usami's happiness cause he deserves it... i mean LOL, give the poor man a break! and A LOT i mean A LOT!!! of love!! LOL

Alright...So do not be discouraged if the art at the beginning burns your eyeballs. If you're determined to find out what it is that has made it so popular, the art gets better. Not incredibly better, but not quite so... oddly proportioned. Like many of the other commentors, I'm not a huge fan of Terrorist. Doesn't seem to be going anywhere, every chapter they have yet another misunderstanding/lack of communication. Their story never, ever goes smoothly, quite honestly its becoming incredibly annoying. Come on, characters. You're getting it on, I'm pretty sure you can find the gumption to say whats on your mind. That storyline aside, its a pretty good series. Not the absolute best that I've read so far, but it does have a great number of releases.

Misaki needs to go ahead and stop being such a wimp about owning up to his feelings. I've been seriously tempted to smack the screen in frustration, "hwa...What are you talking about?" he's talking about hearing you say you loooove your favorite mangaka, who loves you in return even though he doesn't know a damn thing about how annoying you are. Maybe he'd like to hear it directed at him for a change. A**hole.

So >_> yeah. I'm....undecided. its been an entertaining read, yet at the same time, I'm kind of let down that I've spent this much time on a manga thats taken this long to get....nowhere XD
