I decided to give everything this season a shot, and as far as breaking out of my comfortable genres I thought that even BL wouldn't stop me.

My absolute favorite character of them all. He’s just such a goofball and he’s so clumsy and a little dumb on the exact intelligence part, but he is very feeling and he can take things very seriously, in a good way. He’s very well written and all of his screentime was an absolute blast. His often gravely exaggrated facial expressions and actions are the best as well, it makes him even more lovable than he already is!a b c d 世界一初恋 (in Japanese). Web Newtype.

Even though I had issues with the characters and story, I will admit that I enjoyed watching this at times. Why? Cuz I like BL, and there are barely any shows that have it. Onodera wakes up in the doorway, still holding on to a store-bought dinner, and suddenly remembers a meeting that he was to sit in during the morning. On the subway, he complains about his lifestyle after joining the shōjo manga department. Onodera is surprised by the hostility in the proposal meeting and dreads future meetings. Afterwards, Onodera meets Sumi Ryouichi (father of Sumi Keiichi from Junjo Romantica), whom he was in charge of before in the literature department at his father's company. Through Sumi, Onodera also meets Hasegawa of the literature department, who later dropped in during work and invited him out for a drink. Takano, hearing the invitation, rejected it for Onodera. After commenting on Takano's strictness, Hasegawa reminds Onodera that he can always transfer to the literature department. Later, Onodera encounters Takano at the library and tries to run away. Takano saves him from falling down the stairs as Onodera trips on fallen leaves and they embrace. Takano tries to evoke past memories from the time when they were dating in high school, but Onodera runs again. At the apartment, Onodera encounters Yokozawa coming out from Takano's room with his cat, Sorata. Yokozawa confronts him and claims Takano as his, and further throws Onodera into confusion by recounting how Onodera had only hurt Takano since they have known each other.

The OP and ED of the first season are okay. Season 2 had a better OP and ED. The rest of the music is forgettable at best and dull at worst. However, I give this a 6 because it has some good voice acting (not to mention that it features many of my seiyuu biases). Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi Boys-Love Manga to Bundle Anime DVD". Anime News Network. July 1, 2010 . Retrieved February 22, 2011. I like BL... which is something this show has. But I also like good writing... which is something this show DOESN'T have. 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.
