I fan-girled so much when they kissed

I've missed this series so much.

Not matter what they face Usami and Misaki will work it out :) I'm wondering if perhaps Mizuki likes Kaoruka - he kept on conveniently interfering whenever she and Misaki got close

Excellent episode again this week. The show really improved his art and story telling.

The whole Usagi-clan is just so silly. But you just can't hate them. I liked to see Kaoruko back. The Queen of Tsundere: 'I only bake cakes with people I like. Feel honored!'
Her design imroved as well. Love her kimonos.

Next week we'll finally meet the main antagonist/love rival of this season: Ijuuin Kou, author of 'Za Khan'!

The Junjou Romantica anime never had that much sex scenes to begin with (same thing with Sekaiichi Hatsukoi). That's what I like about this adaption. A lot of yaoi series are just full of sex scenes but lack plot. Junjou Romantica is really plot focused ---> awaits hater comments <---

Aww ~ the scene when they did that sand mountain was adorable. And when their hands finally met! Kiss was so sexy!
It was great when Kaoruko kicked Usagi and Misaki out of their own place lol

Completely agree. What drew me to this series and Sekaiichi was as you said, there's plot and development in these stories. There's no need to see needless/tasteless yanking or insertions that really don't further things along at all.

Meh, I don't care about Usami(more like I absolutely dislike Usami in particular) and Misaki. Best thing about this episode was Kaoruko and she's kinda irrelevant because she's a girl.
Props for Romantica though, being together for about 3 years yet I can count the fingers of one hand how many times they had a proper/healthy conversation, like the one on the beach.

To be honest the scenes in the first two seasons were seriously toned down already - you didn't see anything explicit. Now they omit them completely, but to be honest it doesn't make any difference to me. Anytime Usagi leans to Misaki I'm perfectly aware what's going on, I don't need the show to spell it out to me. I understand that some of you may like them, personally I'm not sad they're not there.

This being said: gosh, is Kaoruko a breath of fresh air. She has more balls than any character in the series and her voice is lovely. Beautiful blend of roughness and normalcy. Mizuki on the other hand gets on my nerves, I hate this type of character that acts all high and mighty without a drop of humbleness. And yay, for Usagi's realization! His family is screwed up but Papa Usami got a huge thumbs up from me at that moment.

I'd wish Nakamura gave her male characters some varied hairstyles, they seriously all look the same for me save for the hair colour. Mizuki is so similar to Shinobu it's not even funny. ... Well, I guess you can pretend that the whole series is about Terrorist then!

Ijuuin-sensei shows up next week, woooow, I just can't contain my excitement -.-

Ack, this is so cute~!! The pure happiness I get from watching this is wonderful! Now I'm already having a good start to my day. :) And I'm glad we get two episodes of Romantica to start off. I love this story and the feels (and wow, it's just sooo freaking cute >/////<), but I do want to see Egoist soon. They're adorable and great too. I don't normally like the older uke younger seme, but they really make it work so well! >/////< I'm still not really looking forward to Terrorist though, but then there's also Mistake, which I definitely want to see some of (like one episode?).

I admittedly also agree with this though. They did already sensor it quite a bit, so doing it more so is - I feel - a little unnecessary. I'm relatively cool with it though. And I also like the plot driven nature of these two animes/mangas. The relationships develop, and it's so nice and fluffy mostly. I love it!

I'm hoping he gets in as a Shoujo editor. And if Sekaiichi takes place at the same time, then that would be so amusing (a crossover with Sekaiichi Hatsukoi would be awesome if so). But do they take place at the same time? I feel like one is set before the other (like the characters are older).

I can't wait for the next one! It's almost unbearably cute, and I can't even properly express how much I want to binge this anime ASAP! UsagixMisaki FTW~ (OMG, I almost typed UsuixMisaki, which also works, but it's completely different. ^^;)

The animation really had a big impact on the show!!! Serious Usagi-san is so cool, I love the way he always pushes Misaki to the edge and make him spill out all his hidden feelings which he isn't honest about most of the time.. and well the fact that they both have rivals now may add a lot of spice to the story, guess we'll see more and more of jealousy this season kyaaa that kiss was so cute *DOKIDOKI* the way Usami held Misaki's hand before the kiss is actually my favorite thing right now

It's not just the hairstyles though, it's her character's facial structures..they're all very similar. I feel like it has gotten worse, does anyone else agree? I used to only mix up Miyagi and Nowaki, but now I'm having difficulties discerning between Misaki and Hiroki. I even got Misaki and Todo mixed up at some point.

Righto. But if it's worse... maybe because majority of episodes is dedicated to Romantica, which has the most characters and with this couple it's the most aparent (in Egoist the plot rarely shows anyone else than Hiroki and Nowaki, likewise with Terrorist couple). I mean, I'm already deluding myself by saying that it's just Nakamura's art style so of course the characters would look similar but objectively speaking they are all cut from the same template. I find seme-like characters easier to distuingish than uke-like, those are almost the same. I didn't had problems with Miyagi and Nowaki up to this season's opening in which art style evolution kicked in and now they really look almost the same.
Hiroki looks like Misaki more in the manga if you ask me. Anime is more consistent in showing his stern face and bags under his eyes. And thank God for his trademark white formal shirt, Misaki would never wear something like this, so it's immediate giveaway.

Fun fact - I'm pretty sure Todo has white hair in the manga (as in it's not inked), so I thought he'd be blonde... Thanks to that I thought that Ijuuin-sensei showed up faster than he should and what the heck, I remembered it differently than what happened in episode 2.

The beach scene was the conversational conversation i have ever heard them have. Usagi really opened up and Misaki didnt deny his feelings and spoke up for himself! Like damn, its about fucking time T_T.

Junjou Romantica was always focused on the Romantica pair (both manga and anime).

If they follow the usual pattern we'll get (if we're lucky) 2-3 Egoist episodes, 1-2 Terrorist episodes and 1 Mistake episode.

I think we will get 8 (or even 9) Romantica episodes this season.

It's the two characters walking in the office in the OP before Ijuuin-sensei gets out of the elevator. The short one is Isaka (uke) and the taller one is Asahina (seme). Isaka is the son of the the head of a company (I believe Marukawa) and Asahina is his secretary. Basically.
