Junjou romantica

 
This show is absolutely a must watch for yaoi fans! I love it because it's so funny and even when it gets serious, it does it in a jokingly manner. there is several couples the show revolves around each with it's seperate story, but the characters do come in contact with each other one way or another. The main couple is so funny because it seems like such a mess. A good comparison would be a straight guy being in love with a gay man, but still can't get used to it so easily, but won't let him go. Some characters even do outrageous things in the name of love.(liking leaving a school thats abroad to take your sister ex-husband). sorry for the spoilers, but i coudn't help my self! hehe!

Characters

• Misaki Takahashi (高橋 美咲, Takahashi Misaki^?) is the 18 (19 in episode 8 of Junjo Romantica) year old younger brother of Takahiro. At the start of the series, Misaki is about to sit for his college entrance examinations. His dream is to go to Mitsuhashi University since that was the college his brother dropped out of so that he could begin taking care of Misaki after their parents died. Although seemingly childish and brash, Misaki is later revealed to be a person who is simply adamant on insisting against doing anything that might be troublesome for anyone else. This is due to the fact that he still blames himself for his parent's death (believing that if he had not asked them to hurry home, they would not have sped in the rain and crashed). Misaki and Usami eventually begin a relationship together which puzzles Misaki, who is unconfident about his feelings towards the older man. In the anime adaption, he is voiced by Takahiro Sakurai

• Akihiko Usami (宇佐見 秋彦, Usami Akihiko^?) is a twenty-eight year old popular author of fiction and erotic boys love novels, and the youngest recipient of the distinguished Naomori Award. His nickname is "Usagi", which means "rabbit" in Japanese. Usagi is Misaki's tutor for the upcoming entrance exams, and a very close friend of Takahiro (he, in fact, harbored an unrequited love for Takahiro for a long time). He and Hiroki were childhood friends. Shortly after meeting Misaki, he finds that Takahiro has gotten engaged. Seeing how upset this makes Misaki on Usagi's behalf, Usagi realizes that he loves the younger boy and the two become lovers. In the anime adaptation, he is voiced by Hikaru Hanada.

• Haruhiko Usami (宇佐見 春彦, Usami Haruhiko^?) is Akihiko's older half brother (they have different mothers). He is generally cold and disapproving towards his brother, though no one really knows why. After a brief appearance by him in the middle of the series he begins proclaiming that he 'loves' Misaki, but that was only after he found out how close he and Usagi were. When he begins sending Misaki flowers and saying he would take Misaki as his own, Usagi claims that Haruhiko was, 'always trying to take [his] things.' In the anime adaptation, he is voiced by Kōsuke Toriumi.

• Takahiro Takahashi (高橋 孝浩, Takahashi Takahiro^?) is Misaki's older brother, and Akihiko's long-time friend. He was the subject of Akihiko's love interest for a long time, but never noticed Akihiko's feelings due to him being naive and having a somewhat air-headed personality. He is extremely caring towards his brother, even dropping out of school to support Misaki's studies after their parents died. Early in the series, he engages and marries Kajiwara Manami. They soon move to Osaka due to his job. They have a child together. In the anime adaptation, he is voiced by Kishō Taniyama.

• Hiroki Kamijō (上條 弘樹, Kamijō Hiroki^?), Hiroki Kamijou in the anime, is a long-time friend of Akihiko's, who is an associate professor at the college Misaki studies at. He is a bit of a loner and is extremely passionate about classical Japanese literature, apparently having graduated at the top of his class. Hiroki was initially in love with Akihiko, his childhood friend. He is an example of the tsundere character archetype: he has a bad temper and is feared among his students, though he is actually shy and gets flustered easily. He is often called "Demon Kamijo" by the students. Hiroki is now in a relationship with Nowaki and Nowaki calls him Hiro-san. In the anime adaptation, he is voiced by Kentarō Itō.

• Nowaki Kusama (草間 野分, Kusama Nowaki^?) was orphaned without a name as an infant, he was named "Nowaki" ("typhoon" in Japanese) by the head of the orphanage because he was found in a heavy rain storm. Elders call him "Wacchan". Nowaki first meets Hiroki 6 years ago, when he is crying about his fruitless relationship with Akihiko, and goes on to insist that Hiroki become his tutor. Originally studying to become a social worker, he changes his mind and is currently studying to become a pediatrician. Nowaki is very kind and understanding, particularly towards Hiroki. In the anime adaptation, he is voiced by Nobutoshi Canna.

• Yō Miyagi (宮城 庸, Miyagi Yō^?), You Miyagi in the anime, is a literature professor at Mitsuhashi University and a co-worker of Kamijo Hiroki. He was once married, but is now divorced most likely due to his indifference to feelings and emotions. His love interest is his ex-wife's younger brother. Miyagi is often playful when it comes to teasing Hiroki, though his true character is far more serious due to an event from his past. In the anime adaptation, he is voiced by Kazuhiko Inoue.

• Shinobu Takatsuki (高槻 忍, Takatsuki Shinobu^?) is an 18-year old high school student (and the son of Mitsuhashi University's dean of literature and of Miyagi's boss) who believes it to be fate that he is in love with his ex-brother-in-law, Miyagi Yo. He would very much like Miyagi to take responsibility for Shinobu falling in love with him. He is often blunt and unreasonable, though is shown to have a softer side.

• Ryūichirō Isaka (井坂 龍一郎, Isaka Ryūichirō^?) is Akihiko's editor and Haruhiko's childhood friend, he is 32 years old in the main timeline. He and his assistant Asahina are the main characters of the short comics released with the DVDs, Junjou Mistake. Junjou Mistake takes place ten years before the main Romantica storyline. Isaka aspired to be a novelist, but his real talents lay in finding future best-sellers. In the anime adaptation, he is voiced by Toshiyuki Morikawa.

• Kaoru Asahina (朝比奈 薫, Asahina Kaoru^?) is Ryūichiro's assistant, and came to work for the Isaka family when they helped the Asahina's out of a bad situation. Originally intended to be Isaka's playmate, he ended up becoming something more of a caretaker. In the anime adaptation, he is voiced by Ryōtarō Okiayu.    This show can be seen on VEOH
