Junjou Romantica Season 2


The second season of Junjou Romantica is even better than the first. Misaki and Usami's relationship has leveled up. However, Misaki still questions his feelings for Usami, and what's more, the couple has to face more problems: the involvement of Usami's family.

Misaki met Usami's brother for the first time and trouble ensues. It seems that Haruhiko wants to steal Misaki, but Usagi took up the challenge and even kissed Misaki in front of Haruhiko.

Meanwhile, Hiroki and Nowaki still argue over the same issues as in the first season. But the couple here is more determined to keep their relationship stronger. They are more open about their feelings and they're doing their best to discuss problems openly instead of avoiding confrontations.

Miyagi also got the chance to finally tell Shinobu about his past - the woman, his teacher, whom he loved before. He apologized when he realized that Shinobu was insecure about it.

In the latter part of the series, Misaki also meets Usami's father. The father later told him that their relationship has ruined the family. For Misaki, it finally began to sink in that the kind of relationship he's in can potentially hurt the ones around them. I think this was all that was needed to let Misaki reflect on his feelings for Usami and give him a time to decide what he should do. This test also proved that he feels the same way for Usami.

I enjoyed this 12-part series. The storyline got even better and it was hard not to keep watching 'til the last episode. I'm giving this sequel a 10 out of 10 rating.
