Back to the Romantica pairing~~

Ahaha.. at Misaki's explanation of the events thus far. That chibi scene was cute.
And hrm... Sumi apparently has some ulterior motive for getting nearer to Misaki...
Lol at Usagi's great prediction skills about Misaki's moves. ;/
And whoa... Haven't seen an angry, almost furious Misaki for a while... Poor Usagi. :<
Amusing that Misaki gets to dress up as a bear for the University Culture Fair.
Ah... the ulterior motive is most certainly later revealed... And THAT is quite a surprise... since I thought that Sumi liked the other guy... ;/ (Then again, by the middle of the episode, I did predict this reaction to occur).
And hurray to a "possessive" Misaki~! That's new~! :D
Sigh... There's another lovely scene cut out. ;<
But meh, it was altogether quite cute! ^-^
Amusing ending, again~ >v<~!

Misaki's reaction was awesome for stuff that Sumi was doing. And of course the best thing is that he doesn't have idea why Usagi is so happy :)

It's shame that (again) they cut out the lovely scene...

I'm starting to get mad at Misaki cuz he is hurting Usagi-san's feeling by not telling him that he loves him. He only says he's feeling when they are doing it or someone wants so take Usagi from him. I think he should show he's feeling more.
In this episode he did show his feeling but it only lasted like a second.

That hurt my feelings but I still loved it. I'm just really happy I caught up with the manga or else I would have been a little confused. I can't wait for the next episode. ^_^

It's official...Misaki needs to die. No progression at all of his affection or coming to terms with himself. I was on his side in the first season, but this is ridiculous. Still liked the episode though!

Well, there is a huge difference between the ..lets call them romantic..sex scenes in this story and the mindless porn-without-plot-stuff you get in Hentai anime. This a BL story after all and I think tthe physical part of their relationship adds to the story, because if I hadn't read the manga I'd be like "What's the big deal? They are living together and they sometimes kiss"
But the fact that Misaki somtimes shows his feelings during "that" time is an importnat factor.
Plus...it's not like Junjou Romantica is aired in the middle of the day anyway

misaki = dense brick wall. sometimes he is so dense that it is a bit irritating. poor usami-sensei, i think if not for his over the top confidence, he would've left misaki already. but yay for misaki's posessiveness!! i always like it when the ukes becomes very posessive of their semes so brownie points for him!!

Oh god, Misaki is turning into the typical annoying female leads in so many shoujo romance stories and it's getting a bit grating. How can he say that Usagi is his yet act all cold on other occasions?

It may be hard to show one's feelings, but to act like there's practically nothing between them is another issue. And that's the biggest beef against Misaki and probably also why people tend to sway toward the other pairings as at least they're a lot more honest about their feelings and love than Misaki. And of course, there's a big difference between sex scenes that portray love and enhance the story and sex scenes in hentai. Having read some of the manga for Junjou and having watched hentai before, I can tell you the sex is played out differently. Real couples don't just hold hands and kiss, so it feels kinda lacking when sex scenes are cut out.

Overall, loved the episode and it have been better if Misaki acted a bit better. Also, the Uke and Seme conversation at the end made my day. Haha. <3

I am really starting to dislike Misaki more and more...I am sorry to say, he is really starting to become an irritating character. His whole attitude in 1st season was fine and cute but now it's starting to get on my nerves. Though I did like seeing the Sumi and Usami part in the episode, that made my day haha. It was kind of nice seeing a little bit of Usami uke lol. Finally it's time for Misaki to feel some of the things that Usami has been feeling....though I kind of feel bad for Sumi. I need to see some more Egoist dammit!! lol

Even though Misaki can be irritating, if he had just admitted he loved Usagi in the second or third ep, where would Romantica go then? It's a part of Romantica, and when he finally /does/ say it, won't you feel more happy because you've waited so long to hear it?

Very true! ^_^

I hate to admit it but what Misaki is doing is perfectly normal for some people. I was in a relationship where when we were "alone together" I could say "I think I love you" but when we were out in public it was more like "get your hands off me". I wasn't prepared for a real relationship mentally although the rest of me cried out for it. In my case though, we're no longer together. >.<

Misaki is still young. He wasn't looking for that kind of relationship. It just kind of happened. He's been really busy with school, chores and his job or Usami's around occupying his time that he hasn't had the time he needs to really think about what he's gotten himself into. And this kind of thinking can't usually be done in just a day.

Nooo... I hated this arc in the Manga. T___T
Sumi's an idiot, but I kinda feel sorry for him at the same time.
Misaki's just an idiot right now.... can you say SLOW?

Poor Usagi-san! T__T



Sig WILL change soon~

I think the time Misaki will show his true feelings is getting closer, he was already able to defend his relationship with Usagi, so I guess that's a good thing. Even though I agree with most of you that he is a bit slow, I think he just doesn't know what to do in a relationship, since he hasn't really been in one and perhaps isn't ready for it yet.
Although I do hope he will know what he truly feels in the near future. I'd love to see a cute confession. =3

that's true as well, it's just how BL is written ^o^

i honestly just adore the "skin is in the way" concept for ANY romance!
it's just how i see things...

I think they'll be saving that for the last ep or something like that.

Why the hell do they keep cutting love scenes?!!!

Sumi really is sneaky and here I thought he liked Misaki, didn't expect Misaki to blow off about Usagi hes finally realising hes in love.

Surprise attack of the super-seme! Is Sumi's voice HOT or what? For a second there I thought he deserved Usagi more than Misaki "Ima just a lodger" McDenialman. I hope things won't turn too nasty. Although I like Sumi's aura of dangerous smexyness, he seems stalkerish in a creepy way. Onwards!

So much for Sumi being in love with Misaki. Damn, we were WAY off. XD

I thought Usagi hugging Misaki was cute. No sex or kissing or anything, just hugging because he loves him.

Never expect that Usami would have feelings for Usagi. This episode was really heartbreaking to watch and I hope that Misaki will be more open to Usagi later in the series.

Ooouuuu~ plot twist! Hahaha. I was expecting Sumi to be a sly clone of Usagi towards Mi-kun and that all his obsession over Usagi's writings were to investigate why Misaki loved him so much, but nyupe~ XD my baaadddd. You is a sly good actor, Sumi! >:O

As much as I do like this pairing, NowakiXHiro is my top because those two are SO sincere and honest with each other in the end. Their love is a burning passion and I LOVE IT. I'm always excited when the episodes shift towards them <333333333

Mi-kun is taking way too long to tell Usagi he loves him back, and loves him more than anything. I just want him to tell him that now before Usagi breaks more :'(

Misaki ain't stupid, he knows what he's doing. Your horndog, playing the "don't look at me, I'm just some innocent uke" game. Right I see you Misaki, I see you.
