Time for the fourth manga of the fortnight, Sekaiichi Hatsukoi by Nakamura Shungiku and it has come to my attention that the previous manga I have listed haven't been getting that much of a response; this is partially due to the fact that people rarely bother reading manga in general, its also partially due to them lacking anime counterparts and most people who "read" manga don't bother if there is no anime adaptation for it.

Most of the BL manga I know (and love) don't have anime counterparts but a few I know do so this time I did a manga with an anime counterpart in hopes of getting more feedback. Do not, I repeat, do not talk about the anime as this is the manga of the fortnight!



Mal Synopsis:
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.

Personally, I don't really like this manga. At first I liked it but then it got more boring and drawn out with every chapter I read. Sure it might be from the creator of Junjo Romantica but this pales in comparison to it. All in all... 2/5.

In addition to what I said, the more I read it the more I realize the only parts I actually enjoy involve Kisa and Yukina but since they don't have that many parts I still, overall, don't really like the manga.

I thought it was pretty good, like all BL mangas lol. Or maybe it's just the fact that it's by the same mangaka as Junjou Romantica. Although I do feel like it's a bit unrealistic, but as with all BL manga, meh. I still like it though :D

Meh, it was okay.
At first it is pretty interesting but after awhile the story flow started to get too boring, kind of repetitive, not much development in the plot. It is pretty nice to be read for relaxation though, when I need something light to distract my mind after reading a story filled with angst and drama.

Love it! Love all three couples that it is a bit difficult to choose a favorite. Maybe I will be able to decide once I read Hatori and Yoshino's story.

I admit that it is a bit unrealistic but I enjoy reading it a lot. I love it even more than Jyunjyo Romantica.

I would be happy if Nakamura-sensei made a happy ending for Yokozawa. I like him a lot and it would be sad to leave him alone. He has to be with someone.

I love love love this manga. The pairings are adorable, the artwork is lovely, and it's by the same author/artist of Junjou Romantica!

I hope the new chapters are released in English soon :)
