About JUNJO ROMANTICA 2 (Season 2):
Three intertwining love stories threaten to unravel as each couple struggles to find its own path.
Romantica: College student Misaki and his unlikely lover, the eccentric novelist Usami, are slowly growing closer. But their relationship could be in trouble when Usami's older brother appears, and the two begin to vie for Misaki's attention!
Egoist: Nowaki loves Hiroki with all his heart, but sometimes, he's afraid Hiroki doesn't feel the same way. When Nowaki asks Hiroki for permission to address him by his real name, as others do, Hiroki flatly refuses. To Nowaki, this is just another reminder of the invisible gap that separates them... a gap that he must close, if they're ever going to truly be a couple.
Terrorist: Miyagi is growing anxious. Shinobu used to be relentless in his devotion, but recently, the relationship has gone quiet. As a 35-year-old university professor, is Miyagi really content with living at the mercy of a younger man whose actions are still such a mystery?
DVD Features:
Season 2 U.S. trailer, TV spots, DVD commercials, clean opening, clean closing and Nozomi Entertainment trailers.
