The manga starts here: http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/junjou_romantica/mf/v01/c001.1/
The first bit is like a flashforward, if you keep reading, it will continue on to the actual story. I was confused at first too XD The person before me already gave you a link to the 'actual' start of the manga
Also, I would reccommend watching the anime first, since the art in the first few volumes are kinda..bad..it might be a tad hard to understand. But if you don't watch it first, watch it later! It's reallyy good.
One last thing, there are 3 couples in Junjou Romantica (idk if you know that yet), so if the characters suddenly change and people you've never seen before show up, it's another couple. All the couples are excellent, so I'd suggest not to skip over them (I heard some other people do that, which saddened me).
All in all, keep reading! I hope you'll enjoy it :)
Gooosh you really helped me a lot! Thank youuuuu
Any time!!!
Guys help I'm so confused!! It's my first time reading Junjou Romantica after reading A TON of yaoi doujin shounen smut ecchi -- you name it. But I've never read this until now, so I'm super confused. Are the first chapters (Vol.0 Chapter 1 etc) the start of the actual manga? I'm confused because I couldn't process the dialogue since it was too boring. I didn't know anything about the characters yet so how should I know what they're talking about?. Am I supposed to start reading on a different chapter or was that the actual start of the manga? The short stories and changing art style also confused me.
PLEASE SEND HELP. I really want to appreciate this manga since everyone says it's so great soooooo (づ￣ ³￣)づ
