The closest thing that I’ve ever come to a Junjou Romantica message board (aging myself a bit but shout out to anyone who still remembers message boards!) is the comment section underneath the chapters uploaded on the MangaNelo site. Someone said that Misaki should have been a chef instead of going into publishing. He certainly has a gift, but he’s constantly selling himself short and playing everything down since he’s usually quicker to credit the ingredients. 

Usagi’s death stare that popped on the second page made me laugh out loud so hard. 

How does Misaki manage to tie his scarf in the most perfect bow in the back each and every time? Boy, you better share your secret! Okay, so even though I screamed when Misaki was getting kidnapped, I did recognize those “Usami ninjas” with Usagi-chichi in the previous chapter so I wasn’t too surprised that he was the culprit. When Tanaka told Misaki to come by the estate in the last chapter, I don’t think this is how either of them envisioned it. My theory is that Usagi-chichi kidnapped Misaki because he figured that if anyone would get through his stone cold wife, it would be the guy who successfuly got through his stone cold son. He actually gets his wish but at the same time it’s really heartbreaking to see the hoops that he needs to jump through just to talk to his wife for a little bit.

There’s something so endearing about Misaki calling Usagi by his given name. Yet at the same time, when he says “Akihiko” the name seems foreign coming from his lips. I love how this is the first chapter Misaki finally refers to Tanaka by his actual name.

For those who need a refresher, it was in Volume 20, Act 39 when Usagi-chichi last warned Misaki that continuing a relationship with his son is dangerous. Back then Misaki didn’t have much of a response but boy, did he ever step up to the plate this time around! I am so proud of him. Hello, character growth! And to have Usagi-haha in his corner is also a bonus.

Ah, the Usami family is all together probably for the first time since Usagi left home. It was quite a powerful moment. But as far as a Misaki GPS goes, let’s hope that Usagi is talking about his phone and not a microchip embedded inside of him...

I really liked it when Misaki referred to himself as Usagi’s lover so naturally. I know that more than enough time has passed, but I’m currently combing through the anime and corresponding manga chapters to spot the differences for the Wiki and I’m at the chapter where Misaki has a hard time accepting that he’s going out with Usagi and they go on a date.

Okay, so while I was totally getting meet-the-parents / getting-to-know-the-son-in-law vibes, I would have never expected Usagi to actually deliver wedding vows! Oh my gosh, if I ever thought that I was short-changed from the Marriage booklet, this more than makes up for it! God, how I love this couple. 

In the sexy times scene... did Usagi just coach Misaki on how to be a power bottom? 😳 AND CAN WE TALK ABOUT MISAKI KISSING USAGI ON THE FOREHEAD? And the way his hand is on top of Usagi’s head?! And Usagi’s reaction?!?! Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh. The look on Usagi’s face reveals that this is probably the first time Misaki kissed him without any prompting or prodding or teasing. Come on Misaki, it’s been four years!

I looked up Kyushu on the map. It’s only a 1 hour and 40 minute flight so I don’t know why Misaki was freaking out. I guess he probably thought they were traveling by train to somewhere closer.

Man, Nakamura really can’t get enough of Ijuuin-sensei, eh? But seeing him and Usagi pretending to be cordial was pretty hilarious.
