Very dark tension during the interview (and those managers's reaction...), and even more darker tension after interview when meeting main guy. So the mangaka is officially love rival.

This episode was probably my favourite yet! I loved all the drama in it, and how Mr. Ijuin found out.

Brilliant episode. It was funny how motivated Usagi was to research his love rival. Mr. Ijuin probably did the same. I guess, knowledge on the enemy makes it easier to defeat them, but Usagi took it to the extent that he probably knows more about Ijuin than Misaki does.

The interview was probably the best part, with the subtle venomous vibe between the two. Especially with how the conversation was nearing the danger zone, and the two were able to insult each other without it appearing that way to an outsider (aka naive fangirling interviewer). I thought it would turn outright physical, but I'm kinda glad they only talked and exchanged insults to the extent that they could understand each other's position with Misaki better. Also, I cannot blame either of them for falling for Misaki, even though Misaki takes forever to get that through his dense head.

I wish Misaki did take the initiative and said that he he loved Usagi just like how he does with Ijuin. But alas, judging from the opening, I'm pretty sure he will in the end, and those two will be able to further strengthen their relationship. I can't wait for it! I love how season 3 matured their relationship; it just makes them so much more lovable. :)

I'm pretty confused though what the next episode will be about. Is it Egoist (my fav)? I saw Misaki, an unknown guy, and possibly Ijuin? Is it an Ijuin episode that focuses on his love (please let it be with his editor)? I hope it's the former, I really crave for Egoist. Hiro and Nowaki are the best, and they still didn't get any focus yet! Nor did they resolve anything about Hiro's previous love for Usagi. I really need an episode where Hiro shows Nowaki his childhood spot just like Usagi did to Misaki!!

To sum up, I can't wait for next episode. I'm going to miss this series when it ends. I love these couples too much to let them go. *Cries*

Why does he have to get the manuscript from Ijuin? Q_Q
Ijuin is becoming annoying.
Misaki should've said I love you Usagi at the end of episode, it would've make the episode perfect but no, he was being stupid. x.x
The interview was pretty funny and the manager's reactions.

I hope it's Egoist too... I miss Hiroki and Nowaki ;_; they're so cute <3 And actually, I would like a romance between Mr. Ijuuin and his editor too :3

OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!! IT'S FINALLY HERE!!! LIKE ACTUALLY!!! NEXT WEEK IS EGOIST. I mean, of course they get their share. But it's so late. And iT'S COMING UP NEXT WEEK!!!! >//////////< YESSSSSSSSSSS~

Another cute episode as usual. Next week is might end up being my favorite though judging by the preview. Looking forward to the mix of cuteness and angst that is Nowaki x Hiro. Ugh, I really can't wait. I'm ridiculously excited for this. XD >///////////< But... at this rate, they'll probably only get two episodes at most... That's sad. I love those two. >.< And there's Romantica too. But that'll be nice actually. Sounds like fun! Ack, next week starts classes, but I still can't wait to watch this!

Sorry guys. I'm just really freaking out about Egoist x Romantica next week. This show will be the death of me. >.< ^^;

I could practically hear all the Egoist fans (me included) cheering when I saw the previews show. Haha. I'm so glad they'll be adapting that Egoist arc! It's another cute one that I'm absolutely in love with!

Anyway, the interview was conducted really well! I love Ijuuin as a character. He's just so bold and feisty! Absolutely adored Aikawa and Kirishima's reaction to the interview as well. I'm pretty sure they secretly knew what was going on as soon as the money-loving schemer, Isaka arranged the event! XD

Aww this felt beautiful but I feel bad for both of them. Misaki is now really worried about being judged and discriminated against for being gay and Usagi is worried about Ijuuin doing something to his precious Misaki. :( If they can get through all this in one piece their relationship will be even stronger.

And Isaka was loving every second. XD

I think he just gets overly anxious and finds it very difficult to be so direct and open with the depths of his heart like Usagi is. It’s really easy for him to say he loves Ijuuin that directly because it’s just fan love; but his love for Usagi is a lot more difficult to say because it means so much more to him. He’s even less likely to say it when Usagi asks him to or after Usagi has just said it to him because it makes him feel even more self-conscious and anxious about it than usual. He does try to say it in other ways though, like “I want to be with you” and “I have to molest you” (lol) so it's not like he's in denial to himself any more like season 1. He just can't express his genuine deeper feelings that well because of the fact they are so meaningful.

This is how I interpret him anyway because I relate to him. Anyway maybe it’s just me but I think this difficulty makes it more beautiful because when he finally does have a moment of expressing his love it’s like fireworks. Still, considering what's been going on I think he really needs to muster the courage and say/do something to reassure Usagi since he has been going through such a rough time lately.

I thought this was cute:

OMG!! So Kawaii!! I thought Usagi san will hug Misaki(Just like in season 1)when he congratulated Usagi on getting nominated for the award.
Still, overall it was a cute and awesome episode as always.
How am I gonna survive after this season ends?!?!? :'(
P.S. Junjou Egoist next week, huh? Though I'm not their hard core fan, but still I love them and was waiting for their episode.

In Episode 9 was very good BUT.....

- Mr. Isaka is very annoying person
- While Usami and Ijuin had interview it was very funny.
- Why can't Misaki just admit he loves Usami already.
- I hope They remember the promise in season 2 episode 12 that misaki was the one who make promise to usagi. If i correctly say or not.

Why do you girls look up to Usagi? I find his possessive and forceful attitude really rude. He keeps on disregarding Misaki's worries and struggles and only thinks about himself. He's always trying to control him. It's kind of disgusting. He doesn't care about Misaki wanting to have his own career and would pressure him to quit his job at Marukawa just because he's insecure about Misaki and worries that some other seme will steal him away.

Onto the next epsiode.

Usagi-san is possessive but he will never tell Misaki to quit his job just because of Usagi's insecurity. He told Misaki that he trusts him so he won't tell him to quit his job.

Yeah, seriously. Usagi is awful.
I don't get why everyone thinks extreme jealousy is romantic. There are so many women (and probably men, too) hurt and killed because men think they own them. It has nothing to do with love.

He just did in this episode.

Can't blame misaki for being worried. Rich people just don't understand that you gotta be careful if you're employed. It'd be nice if you hadn't but it's the harsh reality.

Also: I thought it was kinda brave of Ijuin to confess his love. Especially towards Usagi.

I agree a hundred per cent. And it used to be even creepier in the beginning, actually. These days Usagi is still horrible and a spoiled man-child in many ways but at least he does sort of hear what Misaki has to say.

Thank heavens, Egoist next episode. About time.

Good episode, but to be honest, I was kind of ticked off with Misaki. I mean, he knows how it feels to be jealous after dealing with Mizuki. Not to mention when Usagi, who was clearly emotionally vulnerable, asked if he loved Ijuin, he said yes. I don’t care if he meant it in a different way, but it was inconsiderate. Say you love him as an author or that you love his work, but don’t say you love him. It’s one thing to say you love a celebrity, but if you actually KNOW that celebrity, then you probably shouldn’t use that word so casually. Especially around your boyfriend. I found it kind of hilarious that Misaki was surprised Ijuin knew they were lovers. Misaki’s so adorably dense. Misaki keeps internally venting to his older brother, but I hope one day his brother really finds out. I doubt it will happen, though. At least, not during this season.

Anyway, glad to see the next episode is going to focus on Egoist. I’ve been wanting to see more of them.

It's his future at stake and he can't always do what Akihiko wants. He's just jealous so he should work on some trust.

I think if Misaki can't say "I love you" even after 4 years, then he really doesn't deserve Akihiko.
