Anime Lounge: Junjou Romantica 3

Series: Junjou Romantica 3

Episodes: 1-12

Premise: This is the third season of the acclaimed boys’ love series, and things are settling down for the couples in Junjou Romantica, Egoist, Terrorist and new series Mistake. The new season sees the lead couple, Misaki and Akihiko, learning how to adapt to their changing relationship and what it means for Misaki to become a full-fledged adult. Misaki must think about graduating from college and getting a job, and together the duo must figure out how to explain their growing relationship to Takahiro, Misaki’s older brother and Akihiko’s best friend.

Is it worth watching?: Yes. This is, so far, the final season of the series and it’s been a fun ride to see how the couples grow. If you’ve invested in the couples, you’ll want to see how everything shakes out. There are also more rivals for Misaki’s heart, which makes things interesting.

Breakout character: Misaki. Sure, he’s the lead character, but he makes leaps and bounds of growth and comes into his own. He stands out, finally, because he should, and he starts to finally become a fully fleshed-out lead uke.

Where it’s going?: This is the end for the three couples, though some of characters make a few cameos in the spinoff Sekaiichi Hatsukoi.
