Junjo Romantica Vol. 12

Junjo Romantica Vol. 12

Misaki Takahashi, a young man preparing for his university exams, and his tutor, Akihiko Usami—a highly acclaimed novelist—do not get along. If it was not for Takahiro, Misaki’s beloved older brother and Usami’s best friend, the two would never have crossed paths at all. But when Misaki discovers a sexually explicit boys-love novel featuring characters eerily similar to Usami and Takahiro—definitely penned by Usami himself—his suspicions about the man’s ulterior motives toward his brother are confirmed.

After a heated confrontation, Misaki and Usami decide to call a truce. That is, until Takahiro visits them with his new fiancée! Misaki should be elated, but as Usami simply accepts the news with congratulations, why does he feel this unfamiliar anger toward his brother?

As the end of Misaki’s college years approach, he’s faced with a difficult choice. Living with the ever-popular boys love novelist Akihiko can be ever-so challenging… but is living without him an option at all? Chaotic doesn’t even begin to cover Misaki’s struggle for independence from the Usami family while looking for a career! Can Misaki take control of his life without driving his lover Akihiko away?
