Junjou Romantica: Pure Romance, stylized as Junjou Romantica ~Pure Romance~, is a yaoi series by Shungiku Nakamura. It focuses on three storylines; the main couple, which comprises the bulk of the books, and two other male couples that provide ongoing side stories. It has expanded into several cd-dramas, a manga series running in Asuka Ciel, a light novel series titled "Junai Romantica" running in The Ruby magazine and a 24-episode anime series. Shungiku Nakamura has written a spin-off to Junjou Romantica, titled Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi focusing on a shōjo manga editor and his first love, which was also animated by Studio Deen in 2011.

"This one will always have a special place in my heart. All the mini couples in it is amazing even if the loves are a bit problematic haha. It has a ton of drama in it too. But its an classic and a good one in my opinion. I've seen this anime like 5 times and regret nothing."

"Kinda dicey… dances on the line of sa and consensual stuff. Without that stuff it’s cute but meh"

"It's an old one so of course it has a few problematic tropes but all in all, still holds up surprisingly well. It's pure fun and major second-hand embarrassment 😅"

"I struggled with this show, but finished it out. It follows 3 different BL stories that are all somewhat intertwined. But all three relationships use SA and forcing themselves on the other as a plot device and it’s really gross feeling sometimes. "
