I Love Junjou Romantica's Topics (233)

I'm looking at it like... Usagi and Takahiro are best friends. I feel like the term, i'm sleeping with your younger brother is not something one wants to hear nor find out. Especially with someone you have such trust in. So it's like you not into women, you're not only into guys, but you're with my best friend. My best friend who is 10 years older than you, who should know better.... I feel like Takahiro's reaction is a very typical and normal one.

Don't get me wrong, I honestly love Usagi & Misaki to death, but I understand Takahiro's pov too. I can see things from other's povs. I'm open to all possibilities to how this could've gone. Honestly, I think the author did it this way for a bit of drama. I think Takahiro's accepting everything right away would've been way too easy. Even though I know this was really hard for Misaki, I believe Takahiro deserves the time to come to terms with this and gather all his thoughts.

oh thanks so much for you opinion I was definitely being bias lol mostly though cuz punching someone seems out of character to me but again brother complex and when you word it like that yeeaaa I get it. I still think he shouldnt have punched him but like I can understand the motive now before I was just like whaaa why u angry?

also I kinda understand the needing time stance he had clearly is still supportive and loves his brother but like he was picturing a completely different life for Misaki in his head, heck he didnt even know MIsaki liked guys soo I feel like needing time is natural especially the way it was thrown in his face and not like discussed or eased into it like Misaki planned plus this is the airhead who didnt know he was Usagi's crush for how long lol also side Kudo's to how Usagi handled his convo honeslty im just not dissapointed at all

I think a lot of people will be bias because of the love we all have for misaki and usagi. I do think this situation is a part of life, not everyone is gonna accept them and be supportive, some will be completely open and accepting and some just need time. I think Takahiro's reaction was very realistic and I believe he will be supportive, I just think he needs time. I do think Takahiro isn't a person to use violence, and it is probably a bit out of his character, but people do things like that when they care or are hurt. I thought of it like, if you hurt my brother, we are gonna have problems. I think it was good and that this needed to be expressed.

And honestly, they should've told him so long ago. If I think about different times throughout the manga, there were many times when Takahiro wanted Misaki to move out of Usagi's place, b/c he was only supposed to stay there for a little while. And they had come up with excuses here and there, until recently Takahiro was very adamant about Misaki moving out of Usagi's place. They never gave him a real reason why Misaki wants to stay with Usagi. I feel at that point, they should have. And I get it, Misaki was scared. But too, I feel he had such a long time to prepare to tell his brother. And the way Takahiro found out? Ugh! Of course!

But Misaki got out everything he wanted and needed to say to Takahiro and Takahiro listened to him. Takahiro and Usagi had a discussion to how this whole thing started and got out what he wanted to say. I truly believe in time Takahiro will come to terms with this . I agree that Takahiro probably didn't want this for Misaki. He probably wanted him to have a normal live, similar to what he has, but we don't always get what we want. But I feel this whole Takahiro finding out reveal was done really well. All I had wanted was Takahiro to sincerely listen to what Misaki and Usagi had to say. Take it all in. Now he just needs to come to terms with everything and he needs the time to do that.

Ps. I totally agree that Takahiro is an airhead. I mean, his wife found out before him just by watching Usagi and Misaki. lol!

I was super happy reading these chapters and was not disappointed how it happened at all like i could also have seen it going down a number of different ways (bad included). I pretty much agree with everything you said especially about telling him already but Misaki was dragging his feet lol and everybody does things at their own pace I dont think Misaki really thought about it long term like his brother saying he was ready to move out was the real eye awaken moment that he cant just live in their happy bubble and he's going to have to make some grown up decisions .... (Honestly I might be wrong about that though it's been awhile since I reread this story I should do that) but I mean like you said that has been going on a good while now so it needed to happen

Takahiro is upset they didn’t tell him but it’s not all about him. His reaction and the punch was really overblown. He needs to accept that this is a turning point in Misaki’s life. It’s his first relationship. He was coming to terms with the fact he’s gay and in love with a man. Misaki only recently became ready and he’s still skittish.

Basically I’m saying it’s 100% okay they didn’t tell him and if anything if Usagi had told him sooner and forced Misaki out of the closet he would have deserved the backlash and meltdown that would have ensued from Misaki. You don’t out someone when they’re not ready. The author touched on it a bit but I wish she expanded on it further. That’s a big big no no brothers or not.

Misaki’s right to take it slow and do it when he’s ready trumps Takahiro’s right to know.

yea I agree but as Mariya put it I'm pretty sure it has more to do with Takahiro's relationship like they have been best friends and confidants first and Usagi is older than Misaki by a fair bit, I cant really explain it well maybe read what Mariya replied with, it made more sense to me after I read that
(still violence is not ok and it still feels out of character to me, except for the fact that Takahiro has a huuge brother complex )

Nah I also noticed...you see those necks- anyways it's ok cause the story is still as juicy

I was joking with my friends that whenever this updated, a character breathing would take at least 3 whole panels (￣∇￣")

lol that made me laugh and its sad its hardly an exaggeration, but least your taking the healthy route and finding humor in it

About the prince... From this chapter I think I understood that there's a movie they plan to do, but it's kinda kept a secret, so it's confirmed Ren is gonna be part of it, the prince as well (but he couldn't keep it a secret) and they think maybe Kotonami will be part of it as she has the traditional Asian characteristics, same as the prince last crush?

thanks for clarifications also it seems Ren doesnt like him. the whole prince character just came completely out of left field to me.

Because it did lmao.
At first I thought that this prince was also related to Ren's past, but now I think that he's just someone he's gonna act with in a movie so he's not really relevant...

yea i thought tht too cuz ren dislike seemed personal, but considering Kyoko they probably just threw a prince in cuz she likes that kinda stuff

1. You mean the father who left, and the mother who was unable to show love.
Don't worry we'll see the mother more, i'm sure.
2. The president is like a second father to Ren. He obviously looks at him as such. As he looks at all LME employees as his children. The president just want's to push him to challenge Ren. That's how you grow. Someone who believes enough in you to push you to your maximum ! That's just a way to show love.
About your deleted comment, I feel for you ! So frustrating.

1. not Kyoko's parents, Sho's parents they took care of her more than her mom ever did and even wanted her to inherit their inn and marry their son. Screw Kyoko's actual parents idk why they get storytime
2. no i mean it's hypocritical for him to say love is a requirement to enter his company when his top star couldnt express love like that is the only reason he rejected Kyoko And Moko's auditions (he was so showing favortism to Ren lol)
3. thanks

Oups sorry. Too fast in reading.
1a Mmm yeah Kyoko's parents. Maybe will have more of them when Sho's character matures, I guess, in the very end.
1b For Kyoko real parent's story I litterally skipped the 5 chapters talking about it in my first read. I've read them since then. I guess we deserved the closure about his mother finally feeling pride about her daughter. And her mother finally being loved.
2. Clearly there is favoritism. I believe he was friends with Ren's parents before Ren started as an actor. Maybe even are they blood relatives.
3. Thank you back for the comments. I really enjoy sharing with other readers. I hope you keep posting.

I mean Sho's parents...Guess I need to go and sleep. it's 4:16 am here.

1. Oh that would be really nice if we did get to see them, i didnt even think of that *fingers crossed* i cant really imagine kyoko and sho being friendly enough for that to happen tho :/

1b (lol i like the "b" xD) I was actually really excited to learn more about Kyoko's backstory until I realized I hate her mom >.> now i skip/skim it rereading mostly. that is a really mature way of looking at it lol I am not as mature as that
2. yes i think they all relatives and its understandable I was just really shocked when I made that connection cuz its the first time i realized it didnt make sense for them to be sent to the loveme section
3. (≧∀≦) same thank you, I was excited to see you comment on what I posted. lol same i should sleep now but im still binge reading

Ya I've always wondered about sho's parents, like what they think about sho x kyoko (i know the mom was for it from the beginning chapters but I don't know how serious) and how well kyoko was treated cause i feel like she was kinda treating herself as a guest at her friends house kinda mentality. but I'm curious to see sho's parents point of view

all the yes! rereading it there is a scene i forgot about starting at Kyoko's mom arc where Sho's parents say they'll come up to visit her so we might get to see their point of view someday

What. How would that work? Are you saying Bakugo went to the past. But that still wouldn't explain the ability to use all for one.

yea, I mean I doubt that it'll happen but its a fun theory and better alternative. It would work by any sort of time traveling quirk sending him back in time. The idea is that he is actually the second user of All for One and is the one who actually told the original AllforOne brother about his passing on quirk in the first place . So Bakugo could use it now supposedly because the quirk itself recognized Bakugo since he was already a past user. I wish I had the link to theory but i dont, srry
