Back Cover:
It's been a full year since Usami and Misaki first got together, and what a year it's been! When Takahiro shows up again, will the embers of Usami's love flare up again? And a messy family dispute has Usami's cousin begging him to marry her, with Misaki caught in the middle! It looks like Usami's father wants Misaki out of the picture for good, but will their love be strong enough to fight it?

My Review:
Shungiku Nakamura's manga continues to please. This installment of Junjo Romantica focuses mainly on Misaki and Usagi. There also is short story involving Hiro and Usagi when they were younger and a short Junjo Terrorist section.
I gave this volume five stars because 1) the story is entertaining, 2) the art is pleasing to the eye and easy to follow, 3) the characters are interesting and well thought out, 4) there are plenty of explicit scenes for yaoi fans to enjoy, and 5) overall this is an enjoyable manga which is hard to put down.

Can't wait until the next volume comes out!

I was so happy when I received this latest volume of Junjo Romantica. I have all of the other volumes and this one wasn't disappointing. Misaki and Usagi-san finally seem to be in a real relationship. Christmas goes well but then Usagi-san's iritating cousin shows up and of course embarassing and troublesome events happen to Misaki. Will Misaki get to stay with Usagi-san, I hope to find out in the next volume. A cameo from Hiroki and Nowaki is humorous and the chapter with Shinobu and Miyagi was very cute. Of course the sex was as steamy as ever and as always never disappointing. A good read for any yaoi fan!

It's Christmastime, in the Junjou Romantica world! Misaki is having trouble picking out the perfect gift for his lover, but no worries! He figures out the best gift suited for Akihiko...just one problem. Will he see his lover on Christmas eve to give it to him?

Terrorist and Minimum are touched on in this volume, as well. Akihiko and Hiroki's past is quite adorable, but kids will be kids. And what to kids do? They get upset with each other.

For poor Shinobu, things are really beginning to weigh on him. When he sees Miyagi with a beautiful woman at the library, his mind immediately runs wild. Will they be able to save their relationship? Well, I can't tell you that. You have to buy the book!

I have ordered all the other Junjou Romantica volumes and they all came to me brand new with plastic over them. I recently got Volume 9 in the mail and it looked like it had been opened and looked like a used copy even tho I paid for a new copy. The spine looks like it had been broken (which I try not to do with my books) and the cover was a little dirty. I havent looked through it all yet to make sure there isnt pages missing.

Tho Im not complaining since it came in good enough condition, But It does seem rather unfair that I bought a new copy and got sent an obviously used copy. But I wont return it since Its good enough and I love the series :)

Such a cute story! It seems to get better and better with each book! A majority of this book is about Misaki and Usagi. (Junjo Romantica) About 20 pages are of Usagi and Hiroki when they were young.(Junjo Minimum) 20 or so pages of Miyagi and Shinobu. (Junjo Terrorist) No Nowaki/Hiroki (Junjo Egoist) in this one!

Warnings:
There is a 'parental advisory/explicit content' warning with this Manga.
It reads right to left in traditional style.
This is a Boys Love/Yaoi Manga.

Junjo Romantica: Act 13 is about a cute story of how Misaki and Usagi spend their Christmas. Of course nothing is ever normal. Act 14 is about Misaki getting dragged reluctantly into the Usami family feud between Usagi, Usagi's brother, his cousin, and his father.

Junjo Minimum: Cute in a non-romantic way about the childhood of Usagi and Hiroki.

Junjo Terrorist: Miyagi and Shinobu's relationship get tested when he finally graduates from highschool and enters college.

As always, the development of Misaki's life is the most fascinating of all the stories. The mangaka does extremely well in embedding so much hiliarity in this storyline.
