Junjou Romantica 3

After living together for three years, Misaki Takahashi and Akihiko "Usagi" Usami's relationship has been progressing smoothly. However, all great relationships have problems, and theirs is just beginning. With a new rival on the horizon, Usagi worries about Misaki's feelings towards him.

Meanwhile, Ryuuichirou Isaka has always loved to intrude on Misaki and Usagi's love life, but his own love life hasn't been all smooth sailing—Isaka and his secretary Kaoru Asahina have been dating for a few years; however, Asahina prefers to keep their professional and private lives separate, often leading to troubled waters between them.

As for Nowaki Kusama and Hiroki Kamijou, now that their careers are finally taking off, they hardly see each other anymore. With the time they spend together lessening, doubts and insecurities threaten to creep in between them. On the other hand, the 17-year age gap between Shinobu Takatsuki and You Miyagi has been a constant barrier in their relationship, but as they learn more about each other, their self-consciousness continues to fade.

The beloved couples of Junjou Romantica, Junjou Egoist, and Junjou Terrorist are back again, this time with a new addition: Junjou Mistake!

So really isn't to be taken sereously, it's just good fujoshi trash.

Sure, there are (some) age gaps, but come on it's yaoi wdyw. It's just an enjoyable dumpster fire.
Sure the third relationship is a bit creepy but lets just put that fact aside and focus on how hot Usagi is.

Emm the people wrighting trash about it clearly don't know what a modent masterpiece is, can't really remember much of the story, something with the main dudes brother. that's not the important part tho.

Good for new and budding weebs, the second relationship is the best one. Artstyle is verry remanicent of the early 2000s, I mean ... it's a love hate relationship. Just watch it, you've probably already wasted you're time on SAO so you have the time.

10/10 wanted a wedding.

Mixed Feelings

There’s not much to say about Junjou. All the show does is follow a tried and tested formula, and it does this throughout all three seasons.

A relationship is established after going through some issues and finally admitting their feelings for each other. Then another problem or issue is introduced, these usually revolve around jealousy, bad communication or meddling from outside by friends/family. The couple will always have worked out whatever it is by the end of the episode. Then in the next one it starts all over again, just with a new problem/issue.

I find the side couples easier to deal with and enjoy to be ... honest. And Usagi’s character is fine, but Misaki is just the worst example of what is meant to be the innocent & oblivious character trope. Instead of coming across as cute he comes across as in denial and full of self hatred. Why else would he keep denying the existence of a relationship between him and Usagi after they’ve been living and sleeping together for 3 years already? Pushing that trope too far just causes a character to turn into a cardboard cut out…
He’s 21 years old just about to finish his University degree and this idiot has no idea that it takes more than just an editor to produce a book. I mean how stupid is he meant to be here? Because he’s like way past the line of naivety and innocence and so far into just being dumb it’s painful to watch him fumble his way through life in general.

Anyway, let’s talk about the best part of this season. We all know what it is, the animation!! The quality from season 2 to 3 is just astounding. You can actually tell characters apart from the first glance, the backgrounds are actually clear, everyone’s faces don’t look like Isosceles triangles, body proportions and hands in particular xD are almost even. I mean if you watch all the seasons one after the other, when you get to the third it’s like your watching a top quality series. Even though if you were to compare to a different anime it would still be not very good at all. If they had actually matched it to the current art in the manga it would have been even better, but almost anything is better than those first two seasons xD you have to REALLY love this show to put yourself through the torture of watching that.

Spoiler

Spoiler alert- DON'T READ THIS until you finished all 3 seasons of junjou romantica.
Thought I tried, it has been impossible to me to avoid spoilers. To rightfully express what I had in mind I had to refeer myself to the series. Hope it is not a problem, I'm pretty new to this and apologize in advance if that is so.


Just no
I’ve been so frustrated watching this 3rd season that it’s nearly impossible to me to explain in a plain way the disappointment I got watching it, though I would give it a try.
The main problem I have with this 3rd season has one name: ... MISAKI.
From the very beginning –the opening video- we see how Misaki first reject Usami to later jump on him. I was relieved: that’s it, we will now see how Misaki will finally change and take the guts to fully live his love with Usami. The 2nd season closed with Usami asking him to love him 10, 20 times the way he did and 3 WHOLE YEARS OF relationship HAVE PASSED in the mean time. A turnover is just the natural development of the season, I thought. Always at the beginning, in the 1 ep Misaki get jelous on Usami. Well, I cant’t be wrong!
The season develops. The stakes grow higher. The last year of Misaki approach, Takahiro urges Misaki to move out with the last year’s end, Usami’s father can’t stand the unmature feelings of Misaki and looks like that a impostor -Mizuki- is sent from America to tear Misaki and Usami apart. Ijuuin declares himself, puts Misaki under pressure and Usami gets more and more depress and doubtful and Misaki, Misaki… well DOES NOT DO ANYTHING!
Not talking about his job. Fine, Misaki got one. But that’s not the point! The more the end of the season approached, the more astonished I was. How could it ever be possible that he doesn’t grow? That after 3 years he still have that shy reactions even when he is BARE ALONE with Usami. It is just not belivable. There must be a development in the end! As a crazy fan of JE as I am, I barely accepted they gave no more than 1 ep for JE and JT. Well there must be a reason, that’s what I thought. Well… NO! The last episode arrive: Takahiro caught them together and Misaki doesn’t get the chance to speak to him, Ijuuin confronts him and Misaki doesn’t slam in his face that he can’t love him as far as he is damnly in loved with Usami, and at the very end Usami thoroughly expose himself sharing his last desire and Misaki doesn’t get the chance to share his own too. What’s the fucking problem with your sticky tounge, jerk?!
Now I see that the only target to the author here looks like ‘how do we manage to get the series longer? How more commercial –not a single hint of sex here, bros –
So disappointed.
Even more: this story just doesn’t work! Dear authors, you pushed it too far: aiming at a longer story, you tore it off. And forget my disappointment – at the end, an author still has the holy freedom to develop the story the way he wants, wether it matches fans expectations or not. Here I’m strictly talking of logic.
Do you want an example? There are tons! Though, as the review is already becoming an everlasting writing, I will report here just one. The most important example. Of the most important word: I-love-you.
In 2nd season an enchanting power has been endowed to this magic 3 words, I-love-you. Misaki hurdles, strives with his own feeling but at the end of their first true date he eventually says it: Usami, I deeply love you. Straightforward. And a bless: Usami’s light-up-the-world smile appears and they keep the moment, just holding their hands…
And then you come to the3rd ep of season 3 and get Misaki declare his love to Iijuuin.
No, seriously: WTF!!!???!!
And even more: ep 11, same situation, same tensions: a doubtful depressed Usami. And what has Misaki achieved after 3 years of relationship? He turns his head, looks away, and barely whisper what he once said straightforward to his lover.
……. I here leave the word, as well as this series
