As it turns out, Takano is actually Ritsu's high school love, and it is the aftermath of that heartbreak has caused Ritsu's reluctance to fall in love again. Now with the two reunited after several years of separation, the reestablishment of their relationship is marked by Takano's vow to make Ritsu say that he loves him again. Amazing synergy, those two. There is a little bit of drama sometimes but they solve it so well every time and it makes the relationship more satisfying to watch. It’s amazing seeing him figure out some exact things about being in a relationship and the ending is very satisfying, mainly thanks to him ;D

As I mentioned before, this show's writing is pretty bad. The story is basically the characters going through the everyday issues they have at work (needing to meet a deadline, being overworked, ...being sexually harassed by their boss...) and a bunch of romantic melodrama that basically boils down to bad communication. A lot of decisions the characters make are questionable and usually made me go "WTF It has 4 main characters which are absolutely AMAZING and UNBELIEVABLY LIKEABLE and very humane as well. They all have their flaws and that’s part of why they are such good characters, it’s like this in every single story you can imagine naturally! The story also contains a few nice side-characters which I always like; it’s honestly terrible if the story only is about the main characters, there is more in life than only love between two people ;D. Onodera Ritsu has just transferred from his father's publishing company to Marukawa Shoten. Assigned to the shoujo manga division, he crosses path with the person he'd least expected to meet. Takano Masamune is the editor-in-chief of the division Ritsu's been assigned to, and the two seem get off on the wrong foot right from the very start when Takano unexpectedly kisses him. However, there is more to than what meets the eye: Takano is actually Saga, Ritsu's senpai and high school love-- whom Ritsu had thought to have played him for a fool by taking his affections for granted when he confessed and summarily dumped him. (from zero_kiryuu) The manga is ongoing and a new chapter is published about three times a year in Emerald magazine. A new volume is released once a year in Japan. It's really nothing very special. The opening is upbeat which fits Sekaiichi Hatsukoi considering this anime is a lighthearted romance/comedy, and the ending is more serene. As for voice acting, it was simply alright. The ukes sounded girly and whiny and the semes sounded manly and rough. Too bad that, like the art, everyone sounded the same. It was a mediocre performance on the seiyuu's parts.

It was released on home-video on March 7, 2017. [5] Some may argue that this anime is just another BL anime focused on fanservice for the girls. While I'm not totally denying this, I do have to say that there's more than meets the eye when it comes to Sekaiichi Hatsukoi. Unlike Junjou Romantica where it's just SEXSEXILOVEYOUSEXSEX every episode, this actually has a pretty good story. the characters have actual growth in personality and it’s quite amazing to witness as a reader. Hashimoto is an actual queen through the whole story; being very supportive for Aoki and being a good friend overall to everyone in her social circle. We love Hashimoto 😀 I like this series, don't get me wrong, but some major flaws and the ending prevented me from giving this a 9/10 like I would have originally put as my enjoyment score. I looked forward to watching a new episode every week, but it simply didn't astound me like some other anime has done. I'd still consider it a favorite, but objectively speaking there are quite a few weaknesses within this series.
