Junjo Romantica

Misaki Takahashi is a high school student preparing for entrance exams when he walks in on his older brother in an intimate moment with a stranger. The man turns out to be Akihiko Usami, a bestselling novelist and his brother’s close friend, and Misaki soon finds himself reluctantly accepting Akihiko as a private tutor. Their uneasy acquaintance becomes even more complicated after Misaki discovers Akihiko’s latest boys-love novel and starts questioning what Akihiko truly feels—and where his loyalties lie.

Elsewhere, classical literature professor Hiroki Kamijou struggles to move on from a heartbreak until he crosses paths with Nowaki Kusama, a persistent student asking for help with an exam. Meanwhile, You Miyagi, a coworker of Hiroki’s, is pursued by Shinobu Takatsuki, a wealthy teenager who has been fixated on him since Miyagi once saved him from a robbery years ago—despite Miyagi’s attempts to drive him away.

Junjou Romantica weaves these three romances together, following each couple as their relationships shift from misunderstanding and resistance to something more complicated and sincere.
