Junjou Romantica: "Misaki is suddenly having some unexpected and odd problems. What started as a need for some college entrance exam tutoring has somehow led him to being romanced by a suave older man who also happens to be his big brother’s best friend." [Misaki Takahashi & Akihiko Usami]
Junjou Egoist: "Hiroki is a broken man, consumed by unrequited love for his childhood friend, Akihiko Usami. Along comes Nowaki, an orphan working his way through life since middle school, who whirls into Hiroki's life and heart, blowing all resistance away before him." [Hiroki Kamijou & Nowaki Kusama]
Junjou Terrorist: Miyagi doesn't want to fall in love with anyone, let alone a brat who happens to be his ex-wife's little brother. Shinobu insists that fate is bringing them together and recklessly pursues Miyagi. [You Miyagi & Shinobu Takatsuki]

I'm really curious to see what they do with this show. It's major selling point is definately the comedy and relationships of the characters (who are all inter-connected, for example, Hiroki and Miyagi work together as professors of Japanese literature at Misaki's university). It will also be fun since BLU has only released five volumes to date, and there are a good 8-9 out in Japan so eventually the anime will get ahead of what has been released in English!
