Junjou Romantica 11 - Terrorist Uke.

This could be dangerous.
Flavor: Mild
The end of the Junjou Terrorist introductory arc. Didn’t like it as much as last’s week episode since it was a bit more serious and less funny, though I guess the drama moments weren’t nearly as annoying as the ones from Junjou Egoist IMO.
Anyways, everything that happened on this last part of the story can be summarized in “Miyagi reminisces about his past relationship with his female teacher who eventually died because of an illness” and “Shinobu remains a forceful uke”. My favorite scene was when Miyagi asked Hiroki for some advice and when he began talking to him about his current situation through a “what-if” scenario, Hiro noticed it sounded awfully similar to what Nowaki and him had experienced before. Then Miyagi told him something like “But what if we aren’t talking about a girl, but a GUY instead?” and that’s when Hiro totally freaked out because he really thought he was trying to make fun of him or something.

So, yeah, on the topic of interesting moments, I found the way they handled that scene where Shinobu asks Miyagi for buttsecks to what he responds with “well, why don’t you start with it?” sort of interesting. In the anime, what Shinobu did next was start removing his own clothes, while in the manga what he really did was unzip Miyagi’s pants and… well, you can probably guess the rest. Also, when I noticed they left the part with the whole “Shinobu shaking his hands” thing, I couldn’t help but think “Pfft, are you nervous of showing your body to your seme? At least you didn’t have to endure what your manga counterpart did!”.
Err… okay, enough with the H-scenes. It also looks like the ending suffered some modifications as well since, even if it was still about “Miyagi coming to the airport in order to prevent Shinobu from returning back to Australia”, they removed some stuff that was supposed to happen after they showed Miyagi holding hands with the kid and walking together. We aren’t really missing that much, though… aside from maybe an humorous scene involving tissue boxes.
Next episode: A Junjou Romantica story, most likely.

*urgh* at the emo, and I was supposed to like this arc!
Well thank god we weren’t submited to what Shinobu was in the manga (though, honestly he asked for it, pushy spoilt brat)
issa-sa > Haha, I see you really hate Shinobu. He’s actually my favorite uke from the series, lol.
shinobu is my least fave… at least, as far as my manga reading is concerned, i’ve only gone until the second chapter of terrorist and watching this episode, the whole “destiny” thing makes me think that he oughta be a character in -holic than this one. -_-”
