I'm really focusing on the second couple here because wow, that was wonderful. It had everything I want from that kind of story: pining, misunderstandings, declarations of love, heartache and making up. I love this one a lot more than the first one, although that's okay, too, just not the reason I want to keep reading this.

I love the Junjo Egoist story. Every time I read this, I am reminded of that fact.

After rereading this - or rather, reading this for the first time in Japanese, I am as conflicted as always about this series. It has so many faults, but I still kinda like it. With several caveats: the more often I read Romantica, the less I like it. But Egoist - I can't help loving Hiroki, I really can't.

The thing is, if this wasn't so over the top, it could be a great story. As it is, it's entertaining at best (and disturbing and questionable at worst, especially Romantica).

Favorite tid bits: Misaki falls asleep with Usagi's shirt. Nowaki and Hiroki reunite after Nowaki disappeared for a year which ends with Nowaki becoming rather straightforward about his feelings and punching Hiroki's professor (sqeeeeeeeeeee).

Honestly, most of this volume is Egoist plot and I'm 100% okay with that.

The second story was 4-stars, very story-based and not so exchangeable, I liked it.

Still not liking that much the way they drew the characters’ body but the story catches your attention so well I just read it in a row. The comedy and the romance are so well developed that I got too much feelings. Some characters are relatable since they show a daily life of them (and I could felt it with Misaki and Miyagi). Highly recommended if you need something romantic and entertaining.

Still trashy, still fluffy, still donated, but still couldn't stop reading.
