i love sekaiichi hatsukoi!!!!

Asclepius · Jun 4, 2011

Episode 05, aired today, is about the "side story" The case of Yoshino Chiaki, novel written by Miyako Fujisaki and ilustrated by Shungiku Nakamura.
It's about the secret lives of 2 secondary characters from the Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi.

---------- Post added June 04, 2011 at 04:19 AM ---------- Previous post was May 06, 2011 at 03:34 PM ----------

Episodes 08 and 09 are about the Case of Kisa Shouta.
The pairing formed by Yukina and Kisa is really cute and funny. It's the most realistic one also and easy to get us to identify with them.

BleachOD · Jun 8, 2011

I enjoyed 8 and 9 the most outside of the main couple's relationship

It was just so cute! I really liked it

Asclepius · Jun 10, 2011

Episode 10 is about Tori and Chiaki. The couple from the novel.
I don't like that couple so much, but let's see if they made it better today. I didn't like the other episodes with them.
Downloading now.

---------- Post added at 05:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 PM ----------

Ahhhhhhhh, it was great.
They finally found the right pace for this couple.
I enjoyed it a lot.

tabethaonfire · Jun 20, 2011

Gotta say that YukinaXShouta have to be my favorite so far.

Asclepius · Aug 11, 2011

Today was the last episode of the season.

It was so sweet.
I hope they make a second season soon.
This season only covered till volume 02 and part of the novels. There are 5 volumes released and a few chapters.

There will be an OVA in september. But it's about Tori and Chiaki (from the novels).

A few news and comments to add:
- Episode 12.5 will be released on september. Probably with the magazine Ciel.
It will be about Tori and Chiaki.

- All chapters till The case of Onodera Ritsu number 11 were scanlated.

Only 160 days till Ritsu falls in love.
The chapter with the rain scene is really cool. I think it was funny, Ritsu was nervous and very stressed.
I think Ritsu is starting to give in. ^_^

- The case of Takano no bai was scanlated.
We finally foind out how Takano saw all the facts during high school. Nice chapter.

Sekai-Ichi Hatsukoi Gets 2nd TV Anime Season Green-Lit
posted on 2011-07-28 03:46 EDT
Shungiku Nakamura's boys-love manga also inspired 2 original anime DVDs

The September issue of Kadokawa Shoten's Asuka Ciel magazine is announcing this Saturday that a second television anime season based on Shungiku Nakamura's Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi manga has been green-lit.

The main story follows the tension between a newly recruited manga editor (Takashi Kondo) and his tyrannical editor-in-chief (Katsuyuki Konishi) — who happen to share a common past.

The manga already inspired a television anime season and two original anime DVDs that came with the fifth and sixth manga volumes. The media distribution site Crunchyroll has been streaming the first anime season outside Japan since it premiered in Japan in April.

I'm not much of a BL fan but I bloody loved watching Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi last weekend. |D The second season coming out this October is really exciting!

Asclepius · Sep 15, 2011

The anime became really great and funny, it's wonderful to see the manga animated.
I became a fan of Yokozawa after the anime. I didn't like him before.
And Takano's seyiu is great. He makes me laugh on scenes that i didn't find funny in the manga.

Note that each "chapter" seems to be part of a drama CD pack. But since it's about one of the 3 pairings from SH, i'm treating it as part of main story, putting it here as spoiler.

But Yokozawa is so sexy.
I keep imagining him with Takano during the college years. Who was the uke, who was the seme. :luv

GB · Oct 13, 2011

@ascy- i know right. However i am a huge a fan of ristu x masumune. I wonder who was yoko( yokozawa) as well :lmao

mikkih · Oct 13, 2011

Kita Shuhei (OP singer, also OP from Natsume Yuujincho) is one my favorite anime singers, so I followed this anime, but ... now I'm having hard time enjoying Beelzebub, one of my favorite manga/animes, after knowing that the voice actor (Katsuyuki Konishi) who does Masamune does Beelze's main character Oga...

edit: I watched #1 on Tokyo mix today. It's a cute story.
