The thing is that Junjou Romantica is kinda what I call "fanservice yaoi/yuri". Which is usually the only kind that makes it into anime form. It is very uncommon for a yuri/yaoi story that is just a standard love story to make it into anime form, they all usually have lots of hot characters and random drama or weird events. In other words, the yuri/yaoi aspects are just there for fanservice, the focus usually isn't on the relationships themselves.

ZOMFG, this manga makes me so happy inside. Morinaga Milk is a genius.
I only wish there was more stuff like this. Or that it would go on for another three volumes. It's torture to wait a month for every new chapter. Not that I don't appreciate, quality, though... just have to force myself to wait... Oh, and regarding earlier confusion, Girl Friends was originally bi-monthly. It switched to being monthly recently. I really like Nana and Hitomi, but to be honest, I think I like Mari and Akko more. Maybe I'm more of a sucker for angst? And I like the pacing -- how you get to see the two become friends, and Mari's feelings develop. Mari's struggles are so heart-wrenchingly painful, but I guess that's because I can relate. ;__; Oh, and of course... the latest chapter--! Spoiler for Chapter 14:
I want to buy all the tankoubun once this manga is finished. And read them all, twenty times each. In the mean time, I really wish this would get animated. As an OVA, even, like Candy Boy or something. Girl Friends + J.C. Staff = win. But I doubt anything like that would ever happen. Being a yuri manga, even if it did get animated, it would probably be by some low-production studio... sigh. |

The level of detail is just ridiculously awesome. I expected Milk Morinaga must have a personal notebook describing how girl react when they have to deal with emotions Spoiler for Chapter 14:

Gah, the raws have been out for a few days, I can't wait for the translation! I have been desperately avoiding most boards and comment sections on related sites that have Girl Friends stuff listed, as I don't want to be spoiled by those that have seen the raws. I imagine that it should be out soon, at least I hope so, that way I'm not further tempted to spoil myself because I want to know what happened. Though I can imagine it still hasn't been resolved yet, and will probably be another couple chapters (thus months ) till we find out what really happens.
EDIT: Word from the scanlators is it is supposed to be out tomorrow night! (the 2nd that is) Last edited by Ultenth; 2008-10-01 at 13:46. |

Spoiler for ch15:
And yes, I think with Bitter Virgin now gone this is probably the manga I'm most waiting for from month to month to be finished. Though there is other manga I enjoy and am happy when it releases, there aren't really that many that I get bummed about like this when it doesn't come out fast enough. So I'm also fighting the urge to want more, with the knowledge that it would drop quality, as well as fighting against being too much of a fanboy. There is also the added pressure though that I know that as soon as this one finishes she is supposed to pick back up and go into more detail with Nana and Hitomi and Co. which makes me want things to go even faster. |
