With the third season of Junjo Romantica having arrived earlier this year, we got the news that there was going to be a manga bundled episode created as well. A lot of series are doing this and Junjo Romantica is no exception as the 20th volume grabbed onto the idea ahead of its December 1st, 2015 release. Kadokawa has now let loose with the first promo spot for the release to remind folks to get their preorders in for it. The new season is being done with Chiaki Kon directing the series at Studio DEEN with Yoko Kikuchi handling the character designs and we presume that they’ll be doing the OVA as well.
While we knew previously that Takahiro Sakurai and Hikaru Hanada are coming back for this season as Misaki Takahashi and Akihiko Usami respectively, more from the previous seasons has been confirmed as well:
- Takahiro Sakurai as Misaki Takahashi
- Hikaru Hanada as Akihiko Usami
- Kentarou Itou as Hiroki Kamijou
- Nobutoshi Canna as Nowaki Kusama
- Daisuke Kishio as Shinobu Takatsuki
- Kazuhiko Inoue as You Miyagi
- Toshiyuki Morikawa as Ryuuichirou Isaka
- Ryotaro Okiayu as Kaoru Asahina
The first and second seasons of the series were broadcast in 2008 in Japan and Nozomi Entertainment has released the show in the US on DVD. FUNimation simulcast the third season this year.
Property concept: Three very different couples caught up in a storm of pure romance!
Romantica: Misaki is struggling to prepare for his college entrance exams, so his brother arranges for a private tutor. But Misaki’s nightmare is just beginning when his tutor, Usami, comes on to him! How will Misaki ever manage to pass his exam? And why does he feel so mysteriously drawn to Usami?
Egoist: Just when Kamijou’s life is at its lowest, he has a chance meeting with a man who never lets anything hold him back: Nowaki. His name means “typhoon,” and he’s about to take Kamijou on a whirlwind ride that will turn everything upside-down.
Terrorist: Miyagi always seems to shrug off the cares of the world with a joke and a smile, but even he has problems, although he doesn’t let them show. Foremost is Shinobu, a relentless young man who’s adamant that they’re destined to be together.
