Yes, this anime IS awesome and I highly recommend it!
Even if you're a straight male or a girl that doesn't like yaoi- this is simply shonen-ai; for those of you looking for sexierness...the manga will definitely quench your thirst...PLUS it's ongoing.
The backstory is touching and you actually feel for the characters- the ups and downs of love. Every kiss scene in movies is PERFECT, like all of a sudden everyone's good at kissing? Was there a worldwide class I missed? But in SIH, Ritsu was not so good at kissing in the beginning. He always pressed his lips tightly together.
Okay- if that's not something you can relate to...then I DONT KNOW WHAT IS!
It's so much more than sexy sex or lovey love or kissy kisses (while all those components are nice) it's also about falling in love- real love.
It's about growing up and trying to find your niche in life. And then once you're settled you find the man of your dreams, this is a story about falling in love...for amateurs. Since it gets awkward, like every relationship does....especially if your boss is poundin' you in the ass...
Outstanding job by Shungiku Nakamura. His talents are amazing- not only did he create Junjou Romantica (WHICH IS AMAZING) but he also made this masterpiece!!
Only bad thing ever about this: THE LEDGENDARY YAOI HANDS
...ya, they exist.
