純情ロマンチカ [Junjō Romantica] #9
純情ロマンチカ 第９巻
Este manga relata tres historias en paralelo. La principal, Junjo Romantica, es sobre Usami y el hermano menor de su mejor amigo -y amor no correspondido-, Misaki. Usami es un famoso escritor de novelas, especialmente BL (boys love). Tras conocerse al Misaki necesitar de su ayuda para aprobar un examen de ingreso a una universidad, la curiosidad se desata cuando Misaki descubre las obras en las que trabaja Usami, y en las que inexplicablemente aparecen mencionados su hermano y él.
Las otras dos historias son de aparición menos frecuente pero igual complementan a la historia principal. Junjo Egoist trata sobre Hiroki, quien ama a Usami casi desde que tiene uso de razón, pero sabiendo que no es correspondido, se guarda sus sentimientos para sí mismo, hasta que aparece alguien llamado Nowaki. La tercera historia, Junjo Terrorist, es protagonizada por el jefe de Hiroki, Miyagi, quien no logra dejar atrás su trágico pasado, que puso fin a su matrimonio. Quien podría cambiar eso es Shinobu, un chico que se le aparece de repente para decirle que lo ama. La diferencia de edad podría no ser un gran problema, teniendo en cuenta que, entre otros factores, Shinobu es el hermano menor de su ex mujer.

Qué mal traducido estaba este tomo (versión argentina), sobre todo en la primera parte. Me llamó la atención y casi me causa una hemorragia cerebral. Sentía que leía una traducción ilegal hecha por fans, con los recursos que pueden y sin mucha coherencia gramatical, de esas que tenés que procesar qué se quiso decir y deducirlo por contexto ^^U
Medio bajón, muchachos, medio muy bajón.

I LOVE THIS SERIES,PURE EFFIN LOVE!!!
I love Junjo Romantica and I can’t express how much, this series is so worth the money and the characters are so smart and funny. It’s pure brilliance and everyone needs to experience these quirky and fun characters.
Misaki is coming to terms with his feelings for Usagi so there is big growth there, he knows he loves him just find it hard to express his feelings. How could he not love Usagi when he is treasured every day by said man. When it comes to the loving he is fighting his feelings less and less, and Usagi is not afraid to point out to him how he clings and moans at night,lol. They kill me.
Usagi's cousin makes an appearance asking him to marry her because she doesn’t want to wed his brother and once again Misaki gets pulled into the family drama, of course it’s his fault that there is a rush arranged marriage since Usagi’s brother is in love with him, hmm talk about complicated. Not his fault the men of this family seems to be drawn to him must be his homopheromones as Misaki calls it,hahahahah.
Now Usagi dad feels that M is the cause of all his sons’ problem and have left M feeling like he’s causing more trouble to Usagi but he knows he can never leave his side. So what lies in store for my favourite M/M couple oh I can’t wait to find out.

I suppose there's something to be said for the occasional reminder that BL used to be a much less enlightened genre.

Es Nochebuena y por un malentendido Usami y Misaki no pasan juntos el rato, sin embargo esto les da tiempo de percatarse de que ya ha pasado un año desde que se conocieron, desde que los sentimientos de ambos han ido cambiando y desde que Usami se ha vuelto más posesivo con Misaki.
Takahiro llega con una noticia inesperada, Misaki será tío, y Akihiko se sorprende aunque parece que ya no le afecta tanto esta noticia.
Nos enteramos del matrimonio concertado de Haruhiko con la prima de Akihiko, pero Kaoruko tiene otros planes.
Una inesperada confesión y declaración de guerra por parte del papá de Akihiko.
Junjou Mínimum es súper tierno ver a Hiroki y Akihiko de peques.
Shinobu y Miyagi dan un paso más en su relación....aunque Shinobu desea que sea de otra manera Miyagi aún no se atreve a dar el primer paso

4/5🌟
¡Se re pico todo aca!
Este tomo si que estuvo bastante entretenido. La bomba que tira el hermano de Misaki a él y Usami, el quilombo de Misaki y todos los Usamis que quieren ir tras él por alguna extraña razón (si, si, extraña...😅) y el tremendo sincericidio de parte del papá de Usami hacia nuestro pobre Misaki que lo deja pensando si todo lo que hizo hasta ahora era lo correcto.
Que padre HDP😡.
Obviamente no falta las partes graciosas y 😳😳😳 ( if you know what I mean) jajaaj
Pero luego de este tomo tremendo dramón se va a armar. ¡NECESITO DRAMA!
💖Me gustó💖

Highlight from this one was definitely this --->
I love Misaki's face, he's hilarious whenever someone catches him and Usagi :D

WARNING: This review contains a few spoilers
This volume was so good! I love how close Misaki and Akihiko have become. I love that Misaki has FINALLY accepted that he loves Akihiko and wants to be with him indefinitely. I loved learning more about Haruhiko and what drives his personality. He and Akihiko have different mothers and ever since he was a child he felt like an outcast among the Usamis. In order to make himself feel more accepted he'd do whatever anyone asked of him, regardless of whether he wanted to or not. This is one reason why he resented Akihiko. He never did anything he didn't want to and he didn't care if anyone had a problem with it.
I felt so sad for him when he asked Misaki how could he get people to love him. I don't think he's ever felt love before. Misaki helped both him and Akihiko's cousin, Kaoruko, realize that they didn't necessarily have to go along with the wishes of their parents and that they had the option of chasing after their dreams if they wanted to.
Then, here comes Akihiko's father to throw shade on his happiness; making him question whether he should stay with Akihiko or not....calling his very existence a "troubling element" for BOTH of his children. I was screaming, I was so mad. Like seriously dude, where have you been and who are you to even say something like that... especially when it comes to Akihiko!
The Junjo Minimum story was nice. The drawings of the night sky were so pretty and Akihiko and Hiroki were so cute together. Hiroki had been in love with Akihiko for so long, oh my God.... he should have confessed to him when they were in middle school. There may have been a chance for them!
And finally, the Terrorist story. I love Miyagi and Shinobu; they are my second favorite couple...but how do they barely see each other but live right next door to each other? They're so ridiculous but at least they're still love with each other.

The romantica story was fine, and the added drama (and Misaki’s reaction to it) with Usagi’s father is interesting. I actually like that most of their plots are resolved pretty quickly. The Terrorist chapter was also ok, but I’m not still not sold on the couple themselves. Minimum was good for what it was. I feel like the art got better but maybe it was just my imagination?

Un manga que me encanta, y su dibujo aun más, una historia que cautiva y personajes que son adorables...
September 8, 2020
3.5 because I’m getting a bit tired of Misaki constantly denying his feelings. It’s starting to get old.

Divertido y dulce como siempre, muy buen tomo.

El hecho de que las parejas que salen sólo me importa la romántica...
Este tomo me gustó más que los dos anteriores. Casi abandono el manga, pero voy a seguir leyendo.

MI VOLUMEN FAVORITO DE TODOS 🩷
October 14, 2024
Το vol. 9 επιστρέφει με 4 κεφάλαια, όπου για μια ακόμη φορά, τα 2 πρώτα, αφορούν την σχέση των Misaki και Akihiko που δέχεται ένα ακόμα νέο πλήγμα. Αυτή τη φορά, δεν είναι άλλη από την ξαδέρφη του Akihiko, την οποία ο πατέρας του προξενεύει στον αδερφό του, ενώ εκείνη δεν έχει καμία πρόθεση να τον παντρευτεί, ζητώντας από τον Akihiko να το κάνει για να την γλιτώσει, κάτι που φυσικά αρνείται. Όταν ο αδερφός του θα πάει να την αναζητήσει στο σπίτι του, ο Misaki θα πάρει τον έλεγχο της κατάστασης στα χέρια του, απομακρύνοντάς τον από εκεί και ζητώντας από τον Akihiko, μέσω της ξαδέρφης του, να τον εμπιστευτεί και να του δώσει τρεις ώρες. Ο αδερφός του Akihiko ξεκαθαρίζει πως δεν σκοπεύει να παντρευτεί την ξαδέρφη του, όπως δεν σκοπεύει να παραδώσει τα όπλα, όσον αφορά τον Misaki. Όταν ο τελευταίος επιστρέφει σπίτι, και βλέποντας πως ο Akihiko έκανε αυτό που του είπε και τον εμπιστεύτηκε, τον ανακουφίζει, υπενθυμίζοντάς μας πόσο σημαντικό στοιχείο είναι σε μια σχέση και πόσο σπουδαίο ρόλο παίζει, προκειμένου να πάνε οι εμπλεκόμενοι παρακάτω, πράγματα τα οποία και είδαμε στο 10ο επεισόδιο της 2ης season. Βέβαια, πριν από αυτά, υπάρχει ένα κεφάλαιο που αναφέρεται στα Χριστούγεννα που περνάνε μαζί οι δυο τους, έχοντας μάλιστα μια τυχαία συνάντηση με τους Hiroki και Nowaki, το οποίο και δεν είδαμε τηλεοπτικά, με τον αδερφό του Misaki να ανακοινώνει πως με τη γυναίκα του, περιμένουν παιδί και πως θα ήθελε ο Akihiko να γίνει νονός του, κάτι που φέρνει έναν περίεργο αέρα στην ατμόσφαιρα, θυμίζοντας και πάλι στον Misaki πόσα περισσότερα χρόνια γνωρίζει ο αδερφός του τον σύντροφό του, συνειδητοποιώντας ωστόσο πως για εκείνον, αυτός είναι η προτεραιότητά του κάθε στιγμή και πως αυτό, δεν μπορεί να το αλλάξει τίποτα. Το επόμενο κεφάλαιο, που είναι μικρής έκτασης, δεν έχει να κάνει ακριβώς με τους Nowaki και Hiroki, αλλά με μια φωτογραφία από το παρελθόν του δεύτερου, όταν εκείνος και ο Akihiko ήταν ακόμη παιδιά, δίνοντάς μας ακόμα περισσότερα στοιχεία για τον δεσμό που οι δυο τους ανέπτυξαν τότε. Το τελευταίο κεφάλαιο, αφορά τους Miyaki και Shinobu, με τον δεύτερο να ανησυχεί, και πάλι, για την πορεία της σχέσης του. Αναγνωρίζοντας πως ο Miyaki είναι απασχολημένος με πάρα πολλά πράγματα, προσπαθεί να μην γίνεται φορτικός. Ωστόσο, δεν μπορεί να μην ενοχλείται από το γεγονός πως εκείνος είναι που κάνει πάντα την πρώτη κίνηση, κάνοντάς τον παράλληλα να ανησυχεί για το κατά πόσο είναι σημαντικός στην πραγματικότητα για τον σύντροφό του. Κι επειδή είναι καλύτερα να μιλάς γι' αυτά που σε προβληματίζουν, ακόμα κι αν δεν βρεις την απόλυτα ιδανική λύση, πρέπει να το τολμάς και να διεκδικείς αυτό που θες.

First, Misaki is going to be an uncle....and Usami has been asked to be the (future) child's godfather! Misaki is worried his brother is being oblivious again. It's Christmas time! Misaki works through Christmas Eve, much to Usami's disapointment. But they end up having a heart-to-heart on their walk home, worth all the internal "sqeee". Usami's cousin comes to visit causing drama as she begs Usami to marry her so that she doesn't have to marry Haruhiko. Misaki learns that she want's to be apastry chef...and Haruhiko actually wants to be an archetect! Misaki has a run in with Usami's father who puts doubts into Misaki's head, so even though Misaki rund home to be with Usami...things are a little rocky! Oh no! I really do like the character development in this arc, on both Usami and Misaki's part as well as all the family members.

I have really come to love this series. It's still ridiculous, but in the best of ways - there are so many silly scenes, but they're genuinely funny. And Usagi and Misaki definitely have grown on me - Nowaki and Hiroki are still my favorite, but the bits with Usagi's family are priceless. As for Junjo Terrorist, well, I have to say the age gap is a little too much for me to feel comfortable reading it. But Romantica and Egoist are just about perfect.
September 21, 2013
Misaki and Usami celebrate their 1 year anniversary, and it was nice to see how Misaki has matured. Kaoruko, Usami's cousin, shows up demanding marriage and Usami's father makes Misaki think about his relationship with Usami.
August 31, 2016
I love this series sooooo much! The arc with Usagi's cousin was meh but I love when Misaki freaks out when the Usami family happens by. Hilarious. Terrorist was good here as well and we got a small amount of cute Minimum stuff too. On to the next...
