Junjou Minimum: Big Girls Don’t Cry, But Little Boys Do!

A Junjou Romantica episode WITHOUT buttsecks??? Pfft… you wish (Or am I the only one?)
Well if you’re a strange one like me who’s still following this show and cringing/rolling your eyes at the obligatory buttsecks scene per episode, then your prayers have been answered by this episode! It’s filled with pure un-”adultered” (so-to-speak) shota boy crushes and nothing more!
EEEEWWWW….. you must think
Yes, there are other more ‘wholesome’ shows to get your shota fix this season =P
That being said, this episode was actually pretty decent, even if we learn that Hiro has always been rather emo (and a crybaby) even as a kid *urgh*. Whereas shota Usagi was actually a more interesting watch than expected – perhaps because he doesn’t say much, but always knows what to say (to shut Hiro up) XD Though he probably never actually reciprocated Hiro’s eventual feelings for him, at least Usagi was a good friend to him (all before they grow up and hands Hiro the worst betrayal possible, but nyeh, the guy was emo even before that)
Little boys are only adorable when they’re little =P
Starting them young: The fujoshi of the future!
All future part of Usami’s harem XD
“Oi, oi, we’re too young to dabble wih sexual innuendos!”
“But not too young for this?”
Well if you have moral warning bells ringing in your head thinking things like “BLASPHEMY, THESE BOYS WILL BURN IN HELL AND SO WILL YOU FOR WATCHING THIS!!!” I don’t know why you’ve read this far in the first place -_-” All I can say about this Itazura na kiss is that it’s no wonder why Usagi’s such a succesful seme – he’s always known the quickest ways how to shut up the emo drama queen ukes XD And though this episode involved hand holding and kissing pecking, I’m surprised at how they managed to paint them as more innocent gestures and not mushy “FEEL THE BOYS LOVE, FUJOSHI!” ones. While shota Hiro is busy freaking out, Usami just shrugs them off as harmless “friendly” gestures – which kinda begs the question, what’s in a kiss really?

Yeah I don’t watch this but it’s fun to read what bloggers think of it anyway. It seems more mushy than the anime where a girl likes a guy.

You should be glad the anime is not as explicit as the manga!

well.. i’ve already watched the first 8 episodes, i don’t think watching the remaining 18 (and reading 5 volumes of the manga) will keep me from hell.
i can’t believe the subs are finally out!

My gods, this feeling… It makes me wanna reach over, hug them, and squee at their cuteness. Is this the so-called power of moé?

@blissmo: Oh god, you’re right about the mushy aspect, thankfully, JR manages to tone down the mushy by having the characters themselves make fun of each other XD
@Taiyaki & saimaisama: Eh, don’t tell me that this arc actually had buttsecks in the manga… *shudders*
@biankita: Well that took a while… Wait, I heard that Junjou’s actually been licenced, what the hell??
@pudding girl: Yes, the power of moe transcends genders!

Somewhere, some fangirl is squealing with delight after watching this episode.

For some inexplicable reason I found that fifth picture hilarious. Anyway, it’s interesting that this can provoke moe.

you guys are soo much more tolerant to buttsecks than me, I dropped this after 4 eps, afraid to waste hours watching it, and sacrificing time for the coming Summer animes XD
