Picture perfect!
Junjou had come to an end… My life has no more meaning. =( Well, at least I have the manga to look forward to. That should cheer me up abit. Ok, this season ended with the Usagi-Chichi parental approval thingy and Misaki learning to be more honest about his feelings for Usagi. It was really not a spectacular ending, and I didn’t expect much. Well, the truth is, I did not enjoy this season as much as I enjoyed the previous one. Though I kinda liked the entire Usami brother rivalry over Misaki and the strawberry war (oh that was classic), Season 2 just felt lacking.
The pace felt slow. I was expecting more smut, but there wasn’t (though you gotta admit the smex in Egoist and episode 11 were quite the nose-bleeder). Misaki was too tsundere and emo. I could hear everyone screaming, “Just say you like him, goddamit!” But the worst for me was… there just wasn’t enough Terrorist!!! I know it’s called Junjou Romantica for a reason, but I’m an avid terrorist fan too! I can’t help it! And the latest Terrorist story for Vol.11 was just too sweeeeet… I wanna see that on screen!!! But I don’t think we’ll ever see a Season 3. Will we? *hopeful* If not, we can always hope for OVAs. If that’s even possible…
That said, I have my favourite moments for every episode in Season 2 and this episode is of no exception. These are my highlights…
Misaki’s expressive and occasional Otome-mode facial expressions! He has the cutest, most outrageous and hilarious expressions among the ukes of the Yaoi kingdom- wait hold on, I think he beats the rest in heterosexual anime kingdom too!
“I like Usagi… I’m sorry…”
Usagi’s surprised expression when he overheard Misaki’s rejecting his brother, saying that his heart belongs to Usagi. Finally! Another step forward Misaki! Admitting you like Usagi to OTHER people. Good job. XD
Usagi’s dad… More Yakuza than corporate king…
This is what you call, like father like son…
Though Usagi-chichi left me a rather ambiguous feeling (I couldn’t decide whether I like him or not), he was a pretty interesting character! Rubber duckies in onsen, bear wooden carvings… ojisan-tachi are really a weird bunch eh?
“There you go! Commoner’s chocolate for Valentine’s Day!”
There you go, Misaki is full tsundere mode again. But it’s kinda cute. 
Nothing satisfies me more than a happy smile on Usagi’s face… He’s like a child. So cute!!! As usual, Usagi is elated to receive chocolates from Misaki! After all, Misaki did make him a happy man in Season 2! There you go, Happily Ever After in Junjou Romantica!
hye,
i found your blog as i surf for junjou romantica series…..
im kinda new with the series….
really like it….
i read ur post about the final episode and noticed that you mention something about season 3 in OVA.
If u dont mind to answer my doubt…is OVA another series or version of Junjou romantica?
i really like the series and want to follow each episodes from the beginning….if OVA another version of JR really looking forward to watch it….
have a nice day! ^_^
Hi efi, OVA is like a home version videos. Some anime goes into becoming videos for home only instead of prior showing on TV.
Currently there are TWO seasons of Junjou, both already completed their airing dates on TV. There is no news of a season three YET, but my wishful thinking is they will in OVA form. The reason is, there is not enough material from the manga to run another season of Junjou on TV anime, but there still might be hope for one or two episode ova for fanservice purposes or whatsoever.
Let’s keep our fingers crossed for either a third season. And if that will not happen, we still have OVA to look forward to. When all else fails, I guess there’s still manga and drama cds? =) Feel free to ask any qns, if i can help you, I will!!! Junjou rocks =D
Hi imbeleth,
thanks for the info…really appreciate it…
ive downloaded the Junjou manga season 3…and only have 5 chapter…is it just 5 chapter or it still continue?
do u know where i can find the OVA version?
The manga has 11 volumes running. There is no OVA.
For the anime season 1 and 2, you can try Tokyotosho.com for Bittorent files or Aarinfantasy.com. I believe there is manga download too for these two sites.
thanks so much….U rocks…Junjou rocks…. ^_^
I was wondering, if you have a link to where I may download junjou romantica 2 episode 12?
@Pam
You can head over to http://www.tokyotosho.com/ for the bittorents.
OR you can always join Aarinfantasy.com for hosting files.=)
i liked this episode too!! so sweet~
and i was actually wondering.. was usagi-ani trying to make misaki say the truth for usagi to hear, knowing that he was outside, or was it just for his own satifaction?
Usami-ani’s timing must be totally spot on if he intends for Usagi to hear… but I have that suspicion too. After all, I think Usami-ani has a complex towards his brother. You know what, it’s probably both. I think he likes Misaki BECOS Usagi likes Misaki. Same tastes? Brother complex? Who knows? =D I love Junjou, I only wish for a season 3. But I don’t think we’ll get any anytime soon. The manga is moving so slowly…
