Ok, so Junjou Romantica was my gateway drug for yaoi. I innocently clicked that "Watch" button on Netflix, not really knowing what I was getting myself into, and began my dark descent into fujoshi-hood. I didn't realize at the time how censored the show was, and I've put off reading it because when I was watching the show, I got a bit tired of hearing Misaki not knowing if he likes Usagi-san "that way" over and over again. Well, after reading (and getting hooked!) on the manga, it's good to know that some of Misaki and Usagi's relationship was just lost in translation to the small screen. The relationship nuances were much more subtle in the books. and oh my god, I would just love to have a boyfriend like Usagi. The way he dotes on Misaki is just too adorable for words. The anime was obviously good, because it hooked me on the world of yaoi, but the manga is SO MUCH BETTER. The art work is much better in the manga too. I just stopped and stared at some pages just for the sheer beauty of it, especially as the manga aged and sensei's art style became even more polished. I thoroughly enjoyed this, and can't wait for more!
