Junjou Romantica 2 - Episode 04

Junjou Romantica 2 - Episode 4
口は災いの元 ( Out of the Mouth Comes Evil )
Lit: The mouth is the source of disaster

Yawns… I’m feeling extremely sleepy for God knows why. I thought I already had enough rest these past few days, but apparently my body is trying to catch up to all the rest that I lost during the hectic months I was tortured by streams after streams of assignments and courseworks. That aside, time for episode 4! And Junjou Egoist :3

Bittersweet fluffy angst is how I’ve been describing JE, and this episode is no exception. Nowaki just doesn’t realise that by calling Hiroki ‘Hiro-san’, he’s on a whole different level compared to everyone else. It doesn’t matter if it sounds less romantic, but hey, you’re special~ And I bet Hiroki would be 100% more flustered if you were to call him just ‘Hiroki’. For me, it would bring your cuteness down a few notch (don’t ask me why).

Eh… Why the heck was I addressing Nowaki when I type O_o?

Anyways, Nowaki’s wild imagination is fully animated, and it KILLED me with serious bouts of laughter.

Junjou Egoist and the classic of classics ‘catch me if you can’ + ‘ahahahahaha~’ scene. (Now I can never listen to Abarai Renji’s voice the same way again *__*)

Er, ahem… I don’t blame Nowaki for feeling insecure every once in a while. He’s so quiet it probably hurt sometimes. It’s only a little bit funny that Junjou Egoist walks on the longest timeline but takes longer to untangle. Guh, egoists… The end scene below is supposed to be sweet/romantic, but I seriously LOLed into my pillow.

“But Hiro-san is always more beautiful“. alskdjfhg NOWAKI~~~ How much sweeter can you be

Go watch if you haven’t already :3 And for a weekly JR poll….

I scanlated a few pages that I find really amusing too (scroll down for the pages, or hit ‘read more’ if you’re on the index page).

Continuation of some sorts after Perfect Mission, as promised. Some more crack to brighten up the day~ This short but sweet doujinshi contains the following cracky situations:

• In a desperate attempt to get Tamaki to stop regarding himself and Zero as ‘True Friend’, Lelouch geasses him “We’re not true friends!’ Tamaki went “Ah, sorry…” and then to Lelouch’s misery he went “We’re cute friends, aren’t we?! Yay! Yay!” Seems like geass couldn’t get him to stop
• Sayoko didn’t only arrange Lelouch’s date with those many girls and Shirley, but also with Suzaku, using the perfect imitation of smitten!Lelouch. Rolo insisted it was too much and that Lelouch wasn’t like that, but Lelouch felt threatened because Sayoko knew him TOO WELL if she could imitate him in that way
• Rolo and Suzaku got all angsty after Lelouch and Shirley got the best couple on Cupid’s Day. Suzaku’s despair was even worse than Rolo, to his surprise.
• Lelouch dreamt that on Cupid’s Day, the best couple was himself and Suzaku.
• Moe!CC tried to act like a ‘proper female slave’ and invited Lelouch to take a bath with her. Lelouch simply said “You’re not a child anymore, get in by yourself.” CC was awed, having this kind of master for the first time. Lelouch was actually just not interested. Quote: “Women’s bodies have no meaning” XD
• Remember Turn 17 and the infamous shrine scene? When Lelouch thought Suzaku was betraying him yet again, he firmly told Suzaku that from that point onwards, they’d truly break up XD (”Zekkou da!”) And Suzaku went “No! Just not that!”. Apparently, he mentioned that it was fine before this with all the I hate you’s and ex-friends thingie, but he just won’t accept breaking up. Haha… Poor Kanon had to deal with the melodrama of the situation, calling a reinforcement of 50 Britannian foot soldiers to deal with the stupid couple (who were currently kissing, btw)

Keep on reading for the scanlated pages~

Junjou Romantica 2 - Episode 03

Takahashi Misaki’s predicament in
Junjou Romantica 2 - Episode 3
三度目の正直

I waited for this to be anime-fied XD I figured I should write about this before I go and prepare myself for today’s presentation (and one linguistic assignment ;_;). I’d forget otherwise. I really like the episode titles starting from the first episode. They’re so interconnected in a good way, or a bad way if you happen to be Misaki. What happens once will happen twice, followed by never twice without thrice and now the third time’s the charm.

Misaki tried to contact Haruhiko about the mountain of strawberry thingies, and couldn’t get through. Usagi being Usagi, simply refused to cooperate and tell him how to reach Haruhiko.

Senpai makes his appearance again, with a premonition of something definitely not so nice when he said, “You think that I actually like Usami-sensei?”

“The one I like is Misaki”

Quit it, Senpai. We all know what is actually going on in your head and we’re not amused.

Haruhiko practically kidnapped Misaki right after class just when Misaki was grumbling to himself… “And the problem is…”. Perfect timing indeed. The good thing about the whole kidnapping thing is that we get to hear about Usagi’s lonely childhood. How indeed did he grow up with that foul mouth O_o

Eh, actually what I was waiting for is the part where Misaki saw the maids and the butler of the Usami mansion, and went “Is this really Japan?!” when he tried to get out of Usagi’s old room.

And yay for possessive Usagi :3 Sibling rivalry over the same guy is just hillarious, both of you. I only wish there’d be some sort of brotherly interaction between them that can be interpreted as ’secretly hidden care’ or someting instead of just plain “I don’t like you” or “Get out of my business”. Maybe I just love siblings who are at each other’s neck while they actually care about each other DEEP down, though they may be in denial about it.

We now have everyone ALL over Misaki. It brings me to a rather cute question about Misaki’s manliness (or the lack of it).

p.s/ New Viewfinder Naked Truth chapter today! *is giddy*

Ikoku Irokoi Romantan OVA 2

Released two days ago, on October 24th. This episode is a little bit more smexy than the first, I don’t know if it’s because of the complaints I heard they got after the release of the first OVA.

If you don’t mind watching it LQ, try searching for the episode on Youtube or Veoh, if it the uploads have not yet been removed or flagged, that is. The server is going ‘blehh’ on me, so I can’t upload. And I don’t thnk my router can last 4 to 6 hours without being reset.

Omake card that comes with the 2nd DVD, with Yamane-sensei’s signature. You can see Al happily and cutely drawling out “Fundoshi~”.

“Nipponichi~”

Erm, so we’re back to the OVA. It continues where the first OVA left off. Ranmaru being Ranmaru, got left behind by his group and wandered his way around. Getting hit on by the thugs, vandalising someone’s car and walking around in his revealing yukata, Al finally found him.

And went all starry eyed.

It seems like Ranmaru is always in the middle of trouble whenever Al finds him. Why can’t ukes be the ones to save the semes for once? At least Ranmaru is a manly uke~

I have no idea Ranmaru’s eyes look so not Japanese when closed up. If Al isn’t taller than him, I bet he could seme the smaller ukes

I like this episode better not because of the smex, mind you, but because this one is funnier. Maybe it’s because they’re already familiar with each other and the crack comes out more naturally. Al and his Japanese fetish, Ranmaru and his tsundere talk and action, Gondou and his denial (”No, no, I’m not like that!”), the yakuza members and their “Bocchan!!”, and the whole hilarious married-couple affair thingie. I just wish there could be more *__*

This OVA shall cure the wait for the next Naked Truth chapter of Viewfinder. *sigh*

More info later~

Junjou Romantica 2 - Episode 2

Takahashi Misaki-kun’s Strawberry Life~ in
Junjou Romantica 2 - Episode 2
二度ある事は三度ある

What happens twice is likely to happen thrice, just like the saying “Never Twice WIthout Thrice”. Misaki’s bad luck just keep coming. And in the anime verse, we’re just about to see how far his Usamimone (Usami + Pheromone) would bring him. As much as I’d like to watch Egoist right now, I want more of Romantica’s story, not because they’re the main focus but because of the Usami-family conflict. No, I’m totally not biased towards Haruhiko’s seiyuu XD

This episode is where Usagi-san starts hinting at Misaki about how Misaki haven’t yet tell him he loves him (too many him confuses me).

“I haven’t gotten an ‘I like you’ from you yet”

I’m so waiting for Misaki’s nonchalant confession in the ferris wheel, and his possesive “Usagi-san is MINE” towards his senpai.

Asahina is at least 10 times more charming in the anime than he is in the manga!

Apologising on Isaka’s behalf, as per usual. I swear, Shungiku-sensei, I’m seeing a pattern here. Something like Asahina’s one-sided love for Isaka… Isaka’s long time one-sided love for Haruhiko… Geh. Give us a side story already. Hehe…

And we come back to the main point of the title: the premonition of Misaki’s bad luck with the Usamis. Haruhiko has now made his moves on Misaki. His way of showing affection is to shower his object of affection with materials (guh, rich bastard!), hence the mountains of strawberry-related items sent Misaki’s way at the end of the episode. All just because Misaki said he likes strawberry, though at that point Misaki only meant the strawberry cake, I’m sure.

Favourite scene, not counting the smex part:

“I think I’m going to steal you away from Akihiko
I like you”

Hard to believe that they’re half brothers, with that same look and same tone and manner of speaking. He even sounds cooly romantic. The wonderful power of seiyuus…

Aaand a poll time for this episode! Cast your vote, darlings~

You’ll be seeing me ranting about this circle most of the time because it’s my favourite (their Tyki x Allen is awesome too).

This doujinshi has cracky shounen-ai stuff involving:

• Rounds!Suzaku yelling “How does it feel to be kissed by the Emperor’s Knight, huh, Lelouch?!” when Lelouch was fast asleep
• Suzaku dressing Lelouch up in bikini thong in an attempt to humiliate him while he was asleep (while trying to assure himself that yes, he hated his guts)
• The intelligence squad getting killed by Rolo for complaining to Viletta about how they couldn’t see ‘the good scenes of the target (Lelouch)’ because Rolo was always around
• Diethard totally fanboying Zero (and making hand gestures like he was… m… never mind)
• Xingke saying “You’re really a girl!” after ripping Lelouch’s Zero suit to shreds (which earned him a shrill “I’m a guy!!” and “I thought you were about to kill me!” from Lelouch)
• Gino getting the first and biggest shock of his life
• SuzaLulu reunion in Turn 5 turned happy-honey reunion and causing Viletta to choke *_*

Next will be the continuation, Wonderful Mission (Turn 6 - Turn 19).

IroironaIro Plastic Insert Scan

The anthology is sure heavy (>1kg). No wonder it took a while to reach me. Here’s a scan of a really pretty plastic insert in Iroirona Iro. Choose the size of the picture that you want to download. (Tip: Right click + Save file as for faster downloading, instead of waiting for the picture to load). Please do not re-distribute the scanned pic elsewhere claiming you scanned it, thank you.

I’ll go and write up summaries of Knight 4 anthology now =D

Info: Iroirona Iro (イロイロナイロ) is a Suzaku x Lelouch (Code Geass) compilation of Aori-san’s (circle: Cou) works from April 2007 to January 2008. The book is B5 in size, 270+ pages long containing 8 different doujinshis.

JR Anime DVDs, Suzuki-san & ‘Nakamura Shungiku Panic!’

We have more pics of Suzuki-san! Can they be anymore evil. Stop promoting Suzuki-san so much if you’re not planning to export it! It depresses me T_T But really, teddy bears usually aren’t sold with that long arms and legs. I bet if we hold it, they’re going to dangle like Usagi’s Suzuki-san…

Aaahhhh!! But 15,000 yen… Even if they do ship it overseas, I shudder to think of the shipping cost. It would be nice if they put its weight there as well. At least I can dream on make a shipping-cost estimation.

And some info on Junjou Romantica Anime DVD, ‘Nakamura Shungiku Panic!’.

So… Junai Romantica 6, huh? I haven’t even read the 4th one yet. They don’t want to give me any break, huh?

And the Special Postcard Book… I have a feeling it’s going to be sold on eBay. For a good price.

It actually hasn’t been confirmed that the second season of Junjou Romantica will be determined by the sale of the DVDs. Surely, they aren’t THAT cruel, are they? But if you’ve got money to spare, please do buy the DVD for your own sake and for the sake of Junjou Romantica (and us the loyal fans worldwide) XD

The 1st anime DVD will also give you the trademark Rubber Ducky (ahh! me wants!) and 8-page liner notes/booklet. So they’re selling Suzuki-san and raising the price of the 1st DVD because of the ducky (ahiru-san?). So why don’t the 2nd DVD come with the trademark moustache-san panda?

Heh…

Kadokawa Shoten Promotion Pamphlets

While waiting for Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi (let’s call it SIH from now on) to finish uploading, I might as well post the Kadokawa Shoten pamphlets that’s included along with my purchase of SIH. They’ve got yummy pictures to ogle, anyway~ Click the pics for bigger, original size.

Ah, dang… I think I just saw Takagi Ryo’s name on Tres Tres’ cover! It’s been a while since I last read something by Ryo-senseni. And I’m still waiting for more Kirepapa OVA eps!! The Ruby’s going to cover the Junjou Romantica Event. Tch, me wants~

Read on for more scans =D

Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi Update~

Tankoubon

Bought it! I’m a few days late, but well…(I really need to learn how to manage my money, don’t I?) Haha… Well, Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi tankoubon is finally released on July 1st 2008, which is a few days ago! I ordered one from JPQueen because… I can’t resist the temptation for more of Shungiku-sensei’s goodness. I’m patiently waiting for my copy to arrive. JPQueen sells it cheaper than one of my favourite store on eBay (Only $7.50 as opposed to $9.90).

The artwork looks a lot better in the tankoubon. It’s even better than the artwork for the novel

Something bugs me, though.

Takano looks like Nowaki and Ritsu looks like Shinobu! Aha~ Just the mental image of Nowaki being lovelove with Shinobu is enough to crack me up.

Okay, on second thought, I don’t want to imagine that.

While the previously released novel was from Takano’s side of the whole ordeal, the manga centers on Ritsu’s side. Why, pray tell, is it always the uke’s side given the utmost attention in mangas? Oh, right… They’re most likely to be the one in denial for a long time.

Drama CDs

The drama CD is to be released this month too, and the second one will be released in october 2008. I forgot to mention that with Junjou Romantica Illustration Collection, there was a small pamphlet (the pic to the left) promoting Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi Drama CDs. Shungiku-sensei’s cover art is <3

Featuring Konishi Katsuyuki (Soubi in Loveless XD XD) as Takano Masamune and Kondou Takashi (Hibari in KHR~) as Onodera Ritsu. I was half expecting Sakurai-sama when they first announced the drama CD, but well, we can’t have him overworked

Is it just me, or does all of Shungiku-sensei’s latest works come with cute mascots? We seem to have Tama and Usagi this time around.

Oh, the irony… I always wonder why Usagi (I’m mentioning Usagi as in Usagi-sensei :P) chose a normal teddy (though Suzuki-san was made in England, but still…) instead of an ‘usagi’. Hehehe…

But the resemblance to Nowaki and Shinobucchin in this artwork is too uncanny! x_x

I don’t know if I’ll be buying the drama CD. If there are some souls who are kind enough to share, I’ll listen first before buying one~ For anyone who pre-ordered before 30/06 earlier, they’ll be getting a special Cast Talk CD too ~_~

And I couldn’t get hold of the novel T_T It’s sold out in Yesasia, and I couldn’t find it anywhere else. Anybody has it and would like to share? I’d be grateful.
