Introduction
First loves are messy. While settling in as a shoujo manga editor at the famous Marukawa Publishing House, Ritsu Onodera is quite troubled. Working under the stern and superb Masamune Takano is hard enough as it is. However, Masamune is not only Ritsu's first love from middle school but he also suddenly declares that he will make Ritsu fall for him again.
Unknown to them, another editor in the department, Yoshiyuki Katori, is in a relationship with the popular manga artist Chiaki Yoshino. The carefree Chiaki fails to notice, however, that his high school friend—Yuu Yanase—thinks of him as more than a friend. The stoic but caring Hatori will not surrender his love so easily.
Falling in love for the first time when you are 30 is certainly troublesome. Shouta Kisa, yet another editor, is going out with 21-year-old Kou Yukina, an art student. Despite Yukina's assurances, Kisa cannot help but doubt whether someone like himself is truly worthy of his younger, "sparkling" boyfriend.

Sachoza
The series continue like i said in the previous review. They add past story, then jumps to different characters, then the present time, then jumps to a different characters which makes it very messy. I would personally prefer the other to be Saquels instead of being part of the Main anime..i only feels like "here is the Office Staff and their backstory, and they are all secretly gay for each other.. "
I do recommand this anime tho if youre into bl, but do look up the recommanded episode order.
Music is fine, I love how the created the intro and outtro but not so much fan of the music..

Even better than the first season in every way!!! I did not think it was possible but I was just as into this at the beginning and at the end. 10/10 show!!!
The characters are even funnier this time around and the plot was so interesting. There's a cliffhanger at the first season so jumping into this was inevitable. I could not stop watching this show, seriously!!! I was staying up so late just to see what would happen next.
This is not the typical yaoi. As much as you think you know the formula, you don't !!!
The music is crazy good, too; every time it started playing it's so typical Sekaiichi vibes and you just can't get enough.

Oh, that evil Junjou Romantica who uses molestation, which is a form of sexual harassment as a plot device. Oh, this evil Junjou Romantica glorifies toxic relationships. So good that there is Sekaiichi Hatsukoi which is better. Wait, this is total nonsense. SEKAIICHI HATSUKOI DOES THE SAME
Is there a problem with this anime? In the fact that it seems that it was written by a homophobe who wanted to ridicule gays and took all stereotypes about gay molesters, aggressive, perverted, the stereotypical division into seme and uke because in a couple two men must be woman and man.
Sekaiichi Hatsukoi's problem is that the relationship he shows is a toxic hell. They can only be called hysterical, melodramatic, violent, manipulative, clownish, but not romantic. And I can explain it. The end of the f…

Just as an FYI, the sixth episode of this season is an unaired extra episode from another Shounen Ai that's similar to this one, so if you haven't seen that, I'd recommend you skip episode 6.
I'm not gonna rehash all the things I said about this anime in my review of the first season, so this review will probably be brief. First of all, one of my bigger gripes after finishing the first season was that we were hearing about all of this background from the two main characters while we barely got a look at it. This season, that changes. You will get, in the final episode, a flashback of their time together in high school. That being said, it really should not have been the last episode of the series. For a finale, it didn't really sit well.
The story this season was slightly heavier than t…

I'm really binge watching BL right now, which might not have a good effect on my reviews, but is bound to make them more honest. Not that I don't always try to write honest reviews, but when one can directly compare one anime within a genre to another, one is bound to notice smaller differences in quality.
I gotta say, I am a little disappointed that something as solidly mediocre as Sekaiichi Hatsukoi gets not one but two cours plus an OVA plus a movie, when almost none of the excellent BL I've read gets as much as a pitiful OVA. Yeah, yeah, it's more popular, I know. Still, it rankles.
So here we continue straight from the first season, with the same couples, Takano x Onodera, our main pairing, Hatari x Yoshino as couple B, and Yukina x Kisa as couple C. Also added is an episode for Asa…

Before we start...okay yes, I have a soft spot for yaoi. Not because I'm a fangirl, but because when you're part of the queer community, you take what you can get. You can either take that as me being slightly biased or me looking for more realism, you're choice.
And as always, I should probably warn you that I may let a tiny spoiler slip. I never ruin any major plot points, but if you don't want to know a thing, I can't promise that.
Now down to business...
Story: 8/10 (Please not this includes the first season.)
I've seen a few complaints that the storyline isn't very realistic, which I can see. But honestly, anime isn't all the realistic. And as far as this one goes, I'd say it isn't too bad. The way the relationships in this one form much better than in Nakamura's previous works. A…

This season is a marked improvement over the first, I actually enjoyed watching the characters develop and their interactions are a tad more believable. My main gripe carries over from last season and that is that this show is still very rapey at times which spoils the enjoyment of an otherwise funny love story.

This is the first review i have ever written on anything, so it might be a little scrambled and awkward.
But Sekaiichi Hatsukoi and Sekaiicki Hatsukoi 2 both have an interesting story line and a great selection of characters. I admit to shedding a bit of a tear toward the end of the series, but i think that is just in my fangirl-ish moments that i actually did cry a little.
Though, i couldn't help but think that there was something missing to make this truly a work of art and a unique anime series. I feel like if they added a little more of id like to say passion into how the characters felt toward each it would be better.
Also, i felt like the conflicts that happened within each of the different characters were the same, which made it sort of a little boring.

How should I put this? It's my first time to write a review so this MAY contain spoilers if I get carried away.
Story: 9/10
The second season is better and has more plot than the first in my opinion. What excited me about the second season is that it has plenty twists in every couples' story. I personally enjoyed Kisa and the book keeper's story. It has a strong impact and heavy drama which will probably lead fujoshis in tears. Although there also cliffhangers which will inevitably make you hate the anime but all in all the story is what delighted me the most about SH 2.
Art: 6/10
Sorry I had to give this a tad lower score than the others but hear me out first. My reason kinda sucks actually, it's because sometimes I get confused with the characters and I can't tell which is which! It'…

This anime it was very funny for me.
It have sad moments, happy moments... I think this anime is so recommended to girls(or boys(!)) who like shonen-ai/yaoi.
Nakamura sensei has a lot of imagination, I like she and I hope that she will do more animes like this or Junjou Romantica.
The best character in the anime was Onodera Ritsu(for me), because, he appears that he's crazy in the anime, and I like it: it's funny!
My score in the anime:
-Story > 9 =Great
-Art > 8 =Very Good -Sound> 9 =Great
-Character> 10 =Outstanding
-Enjoyment> 10= Outstanding
-Total> 9= Great

It's actually really crazy because normally the season season isn't as good as the first, kinda like the second movie to an original but this really was a so-what master piece, I have to admit that this anime really got me hooked. I'm not bi-sexual or gay, I'm straight (also a girl too) and I'm not being sexiest towards the anime but I have this strange feeling straight guys wouldn't really like a cute, romance filled guy > guy anime. But girls on the other hand, this as SO CUTE! Without a doubt watching this anime gives off such an amazing vibe it's crazy! You can pen point with of the to is the woman in the situation but then again you keep changing are you watch it further, the two are just so true to each other and all the mis-happs, conflicts, and obstacles make it so much better.

Hm, it kept me watching for the BL but that's really it. Actually watching it sort of ticks me off because there are tones of better yaoi out there that get one or two half a$ed OVAs, desexualized series, post poned, given a low budget manga voice acting job, or just plain ignored. While cookie cutter BL like this gets 12 full animated episodes and two seasons. I don't get it. I just don't get it. Maybe stuff like this is considered "safe" in their world of nothing happening storylines. Where the uke must constantly deny his attraction while the Seme becomes a sappy idiot who will wait on the uke forever and turn down any man who comes his way. Safe are the stories that are nothing more than the "problem of the week" for the characters. "I saw my boyfriend talking to a woman...I guess tha…
