Happy birthday for one of my favorite characters!

For the most caring, eccentric and empathetic man who became the best version of himself and found peace of mind in love.

Happy birthday Usami Akihiko.

[juntica]

Sometimes I cry thinking of Misaki and Usagis wedding ngl, I’m imagining it to be beautiful and funny. The ending with a decorative panel saying something sweet either Usagi or Misaki said. 😭

[jacketchips]

Happy birthday Akihiko!!

I made a 5min sketch of Misaki last night :)

Yes it’s low quality because I literally spent FIVE FRICKING MINUTES SCRIBBLING ON A PAGE THANKS

Chapters: 1/? Fandom: Junjou Romantica Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Takahashi Misaki/Usami Akihiko Characters: Takahashi Misaki, Usami Akihiko Summary:

Misaki makes the decision to study abroad. Unsure of what to do about his relationship with Usagi-san, he needs some time away from the threats and insinuations that are constantly thrown his way. But will Usagi-san just let him go without a fight?

[pastelchad]

SIHJR characters rated from most to least likely to win in a fight:

1. Nowaki - Gentle giant but can and will curb stomp anyone if pushed far enough. Your only chance if you make him angry is to start running

2. Shinobu - Will throw hands at the slightest provocation and win

3. Ritsu - Canon! A very sweet and kind man but isnt afraid to kick ass if he has to, and he absolutely will. Just ask Takano

4. Usagi - When you're as isolated and pretty as young Akihiko was, you gotta learn how to fight just to keep yourself safe. So ya he can fight but it's sad :(

5. Yukina - Is too nice to start a fight but not too nice to end it

6. Kirishima - His reaction to finding out that his wife was pregnant was to enroll in martial arts classes bc hes a dork

7. Kisa - Another canon ass-whooper. Learned how to fight from beating up perverts who groped him on the train on the way to school

8. Hatori - Average fighter but something is deeply wrong w him please dont fight him

9. Miyagi - Was scrappy in his youth and can still knock someone around if he had to but not as effectively due to the years of chain smoking and angsting

10. Hiroki - Has absolutely no technique and relies on blind rage in a fight. 50/50 on whether he'll win or lose

11. Asahina - Was in the karate club in high school or something idk. Another 50/50 shot

12. Isaka - We're getting into 40/60 territory now. Works out sometimes but has never fought before so who knows

13. Yokozawa - Talks a big game and is pretty strong but doesn't know how to throw a punch. Relies on his resting bitch face. 40/60

14. Chiaki - Were starting to get into Little Bitch territory now. Pretty weak from years spending most of his time indoors but can throw a pretty good adrenaline fueled punch (poor Yuu 🥺)

15. Takano - His physique is intimidating but it's a scam. The abs are from years of crying so hard no sound comes out until he falls asleep and the biceps are just masturbation muscle. Punch him and hell probably cry and ask why you did that

16. Misaki - Sweet baby angel who wouldn't hurt a fly. Weighs 80 lbs. Will fall over if you push him. Please dont fight him. You'll win but at what cost

[nutton-of-tata]

🥺🥺🥺 OMG...

“You’re writing style is pretty good then?”

Misaki trying to cheer his boyfriend up is really cute.

Day 6: Together/Cold @romanticaweek Usagi can be really sweet to Misaki at times. The romantic and steamy scenes always make me cry 💕❤️I love them together so much 🥰

Akihiko: I know just the thing.

*10 minutes later*

Akihiko holding a bottle of no-tears shampoo: Where's the child?

Misaki: Usagi no-

[random-mizu-fan]

About the Misaki topping Usagi thing. I wonder how Nakamura will do it.

I've been thinking that what if she'll put in some past trauma stuff in it. Like remember Usagi got mol*sted by his tutor? Maybe Usagi will remember that and start to cry or get scared or have anxiety when Misaki is topping him. Idk if anyone will get what I'm saying. It's probably unlikely for it to happen in the manga but who knows.

I actually wanted to make a fanfiction about that tbh.

[d4rk-x-w0lf-17]

You've been posting about your OTPs and I was wondering, would you make a top 10 list of your all time favorite ships? Not ones from fandoms you're currently in, but ones that have stuck with you ever since you first shipped them?

Oh this is an....interesting question. I’ve love to do a top 10 list though. Hmmm....let’s see....of ships that have stuck with me....I’ll go with ones that I easily get emotional over just thinking about them. Ones that make me all warm and fuzzy, but also make me sad whenever something happens to them.

10) KilluGon - Hunter x Hunter

These two have such a cute relationship. They’re honestly so pure, I love their dynamic so much. Killua absolutely adores Gon and would do anything for him. Gon treasures Killua dearly as well. After all they’ve went through, I hope they’re happy and I anticipate the day that they’re able to reunite.

9) SorMik - Tales of Zestiria

It’s been a while since I went through this series, but I really loved their relationship. I love how they’re technically canon since Sorey knowing Mikleo’s true name has romantic connotation. Plus who doesn’t a good Friends to Lovers? These two care deeply for each other and it’s honestly adorable seeing them interact.

8) AshEiji - Banana Fish

I went into Banana Fish completely blind and didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t expect to find a beautiful love story between these two. They genuinely care for each other. Ash is able to be open without fear of being take advantage of or expecting to give or take anything. Eiji is just so patient and gentle with Ash, it’s beautiful yet heartbreaking.

Also, can we pretend that Ash went with Eiji to Japan? Yeah? Yeah.

7) NorEmma - The Promised Neverland

I’ll never get over these two. Norman’s love for Emma is both sweet and heartbreaking. We don’t know if Emma actually returns his feelings, but if she does...Let’s hope Norman will be able to survive Emma smushing his face with kisses.

6) GerIta - Hetalia

I wanted to put HRE/Chibitalia, but this is basically the same thing, right? I firmly believe the HRE = Germany theory, which is really depressing if you think about it. This would make Germany Italy’s first love, but he never remembered him. But it doesn’t matter, because he falls back in love with Italy anyway. Italy definitely never forgot Holy Rome, he definitely still thinks about him from time to time. I can only imagine how Italy would feel if he fell for Germany. He would probably feels like he’s betraying Holy Rome. But can you imagine Italy if he found out if Germany really was Holy Rome? Lots of hugs, crying and kissing, that’s for sure.

5) Usagi/Misaki - Junjou Romantica

I rewatched this series a year ago and I fell back in love with these two very quickly. Usagi treasures and adores Misaki so much and despite Misaki’s insistence, he loves him too. As someone who has a very hard time admitting my feelings, I feel Misaki’s pain in not being able to yell out his love for Usagi. He wants to, but he can’t.

4) NaLu - Fairy Tail

I really loved these two when I first watched Fairy Tail. I loved their dynamic and how fiercely protective Natsu got over Lucy. I truly fell for this ship when Lucy first got kidnapped and the Guild went to save her, but it was Natsu who was the most aggressive when it came to looking for her. I would watch episode 22 over and over again, just watching Lucy putting her absolute trust in Natsu in him catching her. These two share a bond that I love.

3) TodoDeku/BakuDeku - My Hero Academia

Y’all expected me to choose just ONE from MHA? Literally impossible. I remember not knowing who to ship when I first ventured into this series, but when I saw people talking about TodoDeku (I first joined the fandom when the manga was around the....Stain Arc I believe) and I got curious. I looked it up and it was too cute to pass up. I remember feeling apprehensive when wanting to ship BakuDeku, but I fell in love with it. Bakugou is slowly redeeming himself in my eyes and he’s starting to open up to Izuku, which I greatly appreciate.

2) Soul x Maka - Soul Eater

These two....I love them dearly. I treasure their bond. They bicker and fight, but they still care so much for each other. I remember going absolutely nuts when Soul threw himself in front of Maka to protect her from Crona when they first met. He dedicated his life to her, swearing to always protect her and I just....found that so endearing.

1) HanaNene - Toilet Bound Hanako-kun

I don’t care that I recently got into this fandom. These two cause me so many emotions after I read the manga. You can’t tell me that they’re not deeply in love with each other. The Little Mermaid Arc and the Picture Perfect Arc are perfect examples of why these two are meant for each other. Hanako quickly fell for her when he met her at that festival all those years ago and never forgot her, even until his death. Yashiro slowly fell for him over time, seeing Hanako for who he really is and how deeply he cares for her.

[youmeandteddybears]

I think about Akihiko and Misaki's wedding a lot.

-Akihiko will spend ridiculous amounts of money on it. It will be extravagant.

-Misaki begs Akihiko to tell him the cost of the enormous, upscale venue in the heart of Tokyo, but he refuses.

-Misaki will act pissy and angry at the frivolous spending. Usagi will tell him "We'll only get married once." and Misaki will get quiet and blush furiously.

-Misaki: "Stop it! We don't need this big of a cake, Kaoruko-San. You don't even like sweets, Usagi-San!" "How much were these floral arrangements!? Why are there so many!?" "We don't need pianist, a harpist, and a violinist." "A five-course meal!?" "Doves? A thousand dove send off??"

-Akihiko was not going to invite his parents and brother, but Misaki did anyway. (It was a whole dramatic thing, of course.)

-Seating arrangements were another debacle.

-Takahiro will cry and hug everyone.

-Suzuki-San and Jr. will sit in the front row in their best suits.

-Isaka is there and he is way more excited than he should be. (Thank God Asahina is there to reign him in)

-Manami is a BAMF. Misaki is an anxious mess before the wedding and she reassures him. She tells Misaki about how nervous she was at her wedding, but it was one of the best things she's ever done, and she knows he loves Usami and he won't regret it.

-Haruhiko will corner Misaki right before the ceremony and profess his love once again. Usagi will catch him and chase him off.

-Misaki will be pissed that Usagi is there and sees him before the wedding because it's bad luck. Usagi tells him that he couldn't wait to see him. Queue smutty sex scene and declarations of love.

-Aikawa will be happy for them, but lamenting about how Usami-Sensei got married before her and she isn't getting any younger.

-Nowaki keeps pointing out things and saying to Hiroki, "We should do that at our wedding." Hiroki just scowls in outrage.

-Ijuuin was invited by Misaki. Akihiko hates that's he's there and is so very polite to him. Ijuuin brings Yanase as his plus one. They sneak a kiss every chance they get.

-Misaki will have been working at Marukawa Shoten for awhile at this point, so surely some of your SiH faves are there.

-Fuyuhiko tries to say something shitty to Misaki, but Misaki tries not to let it get to him. He also brings a giant woodcarving of a bear in a tuxedo as a wedding gift. Natsuko wants nothing to do with him.

-Mahiro is the ring bearer.

-They don't have anyone stand up with them as a formal wedding party because Akihiko refuses to share their moment with anyone else.

-Sebas- Tanaka officiates the wedding. He doesn't stop smiling the entire day.

-They wrote their own vows. Akihiko's vows are a poetic masterpiece. Misaki's are simple, but powerful.

-Those matching rings tho.

-The kiss is exquisite. Everyone goes wild and cheers.

-The cake Kaoruko made is 5 tiers and 6 feet tall. It's white and covered in roses. The cake topper is tiny figures of Akihiko and Misaki with the bears.

-Mizuki tags behind Kaoruko the whole time while she demands he helps her with the cake and gets her refreshments. She also forces him to dance with her. He acts pissed about it, but we all know he is in heaven.

-Ijuuin and Kaoruko chat like bffs while Yanase and Mizuki stand there stoic beside them, jealous and angry.

-The first dance between Akihiko and Misaki is precious. Who knew Akihiko is such a flawless dancer? (He had lessons as a kid, go figure.)

-Isaka has too much wine and tries to dance with everyone and hangs all over Haruhiko. (Thank God Asahina takes him back home)

-Usagi is annoyed and desperate to leave the reception early and steal Misaki away to their luxury honeymoon.

-Todo thinks the party is fun, but is kind of confused because it really does seem like a wedding for some reason, and he's not sure why.

[rebellionbeach]

The Usami brothers and whole family as a whole are really interesting characters.  Due mostly by the fact of how different Haruhiko and Akihiko are yet similar in many ways as well.  Let’s start with rabbit boy.

Not only is this man extremely sexy but he’s also one of the most popular novelists in Japan believe it or not (not in real life guys)  Akihiko is the presumably biological son of Natsuko and Fuyuhiko and younger brother of Haruhiko Usami.  Growing up, he had always yearned for the attention of his parents, wanting to impress them and make them happy.  Haruhiko had actually been introduced to the Usami household at the age of 12 so Akihiko was 10 at the time and significant development seemed to grow from this change.  As shown from volume 21, everyone had been cheering Akihiko on as the legitimate heir of the Usami family meaning to take over the family business however he had never gotten this support from his parents before.  As a young child he had believed that if he just tried harder and became good at everything, then his parents would finally recognize him.  However, this wasn’t the case unfortunately as shown in the same volume once a young Akihiko came home from school gaining full marks on a test, eager to show his father when he caught him telling Haruhiko that he truly intended to make him the heir of the family business.  This impact was further felt once his mother, who had also witnessed this, declared that she should have never bore Fuyuhiko’s child which in the eyes of a young child must have been completely shattering.  An important seed was planted however and I believe that it was at this moment that Akihiko had started to evolve into the person he is today.  He poured all his emotion, pain, loss, suffering into his notebooks, his stories, proclaiming it to be his entire world.  Overtime we see that Akihiko grows to be very adept at the talent, being one of the top-selling authors from debut which occurred while still in high school and becoming a full-fledged novelist.  Doing this, he completely rejected his family and any connections he might have had to take over the business.  

Looking as Akihiko today it is very clear the type of individual he is, independent and self-serving, he’s his own boss and does only the things he wants to do.  From the first episode of season 2 we see this as there is a key event that takes place between the two Usami brothers in which a confrontation between two escalates into a full-out argument over Akihiko coming back to, as I assume, take over the lead of the Usami company and or serve there.  I will note later on Haruhiko’s tone and content of his language but it’s Akihiko’s response which truly stuck out to me as he stated that he had no inclination of going back to that house and if that Haruhiko truly didn’t like being there then why doesn’t he just leave as well.

This point may seem entirely irrelevant but I actually believe it highlights an essential part of Akihiko’s character that not only serves as his strength but also a blind spot in that of his independence.  Akihiko is the type of person who is able to do the things he’d like to do and encourages the people he cares about, basically Misaki, to do the same such as in episode 2 of season 3 where he is actually the one who encourages Misaki to enter into Marukawa after Misaki dismisses those thoughts as just a fantasy.  This is a thing for his relationship with Misaki as he allows the man a different perspective and in a way allows him, or at least encourages him, to be more selfish.  However this can also be seen as a flaw of his character as it can be interpreted that the only reason he has this lax and independent personality in the first place is because of his more well-off family and the fact that he’d had connections from the start.  In all honestly though, this part of Usagi-san’s personality is one of the main reasons why I actually enjoy his character, along with his thoughtful nature, as I believe that it’s a pretty unique and well-suited trait.

Let’s get into Harry Potter or the eldest brother of the Usami residence, Haruhiko.  Haruhiko isn’t Akihiko’s direct brother as stated before but rather a product of an affair that Fuyuhiko had with his mother.  For the first 12 years of his life, Haruhiko had actually been raised by his single-mother whom he loved very much.  During these times he had been seen to be much more happy despite living in poorer circumstances.  This is a large aspect that is pretty big onto why he is the way he is today.  After his mother tragically passing on, Fuyuhiko took him into to live in the Usami residence.  Now this in itself is absolutely devastating, living with a father-figure that had never truly been there for you with a new mother-in-law that despises your every existence because you’re the proof of the infidelities of her marriage and a new younger brother who seemed lifeless from the rest of this.  Top it all off with the devastation from losing the only person you truly loved and was there for you and damn I’m surprised that Haruhiko didn’t full out lose it.  

Now going back to the scene originally discussed with Akihiko’s backstory, let us switch perspective onto Haruhiko during this situation.  Your new dad just stated that the person he had truly loved in his lifetime was your dead mother and that he intended to make you, a 12 year old child, the heir of their family company that you had just learned about.  Not only this but everyone around you is your enemy as shown through all the people cheering on Akihiko to become the true heir and saying that Haruhiko stole his position.  There is basically no one there to support you, similar to Akihiko, and unlike Akihiko he actually was not used to this new circumstance making the situation even worse. 

I’d like to discuss the scene stated before during episode 1 of season 2.  Here, Haruhiko is visibly angry as Akihiko’s lack of care for his role in the Usami residence.  This is something we’ve never actually gotten to see ever since with Haruhiko barely showing any emotion at all.  However, if you take in the full context of his upbringing and circumstance to that point, you can see a fuller picture of what the man has gone through to become the stoic chosen one we know today.  Akihiko, after being hoisted by Isaka to finally start publishing his works, his entire being, finally achieved success independent from the Usami residence, marking himself finally as an individual allowing him to finally see that he only needs himself.  I think this is what caused Akihiko to cut most connection from his family, despite the occasional visits, and totally puts himself away from the idea of succeeding and become the heir of his family’s company.  This leaves Haruhiko with the burden of shouldering the entire Usami company’s future, something he never truly wanted to today with architecture being his main priority.  What he see’s in Akihiko is this lazy, selfish person who only thinks of himself, abandoning all his familial duties to a brother whom he barely batted an eye to during childhood.  This is what he hates in Akihiko, but also envies.  A very interesting point that season 2 makes with the connection between the Usami brothers is the inherent jealously Haruhiko feels toward Akihiko, with him trying to steal things from him during their upbringing together according to Akihiko.  Even Misaki finally has this revelation during episode 8 I believe when he was distracting him from Kaoruko.  I think his jealously mainly stems from the fact that Akihiko got his independence while Haruhiko is still confined to the Usami gates.  With all of Akihiko’s absent-minded behavior and to quote Haruhiko, “having the eyes of a dead fish”, Akihiko in the end still achieved that sense of independence that Haruhiko could only dream about having.  Add onto the fact that everyone around you hates that you got this position, lobbying for your younger half-brother who barely gives in the effort to succeed you, then baby that’s a recipe for childhood resentment if I’ve ever seen one.  

So what does this all mean, well nothing since this is an over-analysis on a yaoi manga but in a reality I think it comes to show the clear dynamic Haruhiko and Akihiko have on one another.  In recent chapters it is shown that Haruhiko is more and more aspiring in his own pursuits in architecture, even accepting his position as lead of the Usami household and accepting the fact that he’ll never get Misaki, wanting to stay as his ally instead (which is a lot more than I can say for a CERTAIN manga author).

I love Haruhiko AND Akihiko, they both are really great characters and I’d think it would be nice if in the future they could perhaps reconcile their relationship and kind of start to get along.  The Usami household fucked up a lot of kids but they are still going strong and who knows, maybe Haruhiko might get a lover in the future (AKA Todo)

Thank you and now I implore you to go listen to Nelson’s After the Rain album, 10/10 made me cry.
