Sekaiichi Hatsukoi: Die Story von Ritsu Onodera 4

世界一初恋 (The World's Greatest First Love) #4

by Shungiku Nakamura, Mathilde Schmitz (Translator)

Ritsu Onodera, seines Zeichens junger und dynamischer Lektor für Belletristik nimmt eine Stelle beim Marukawa Verlag an, bei dem der berühmte Autor Usami Akihiko (bekannt aus JUNJO ROMANTICA) seine Bücher veröffentlicht. Doch er landet nicht wie gewünscht im anspruchsvollen Belletristik-Lektorat, sondern wird dem rein männlichen Redaktionsteam im Shojo-Mangabereich zugeordnet. Eine Katastrophe für Ritsu Onodera, denn für Schmonzetten hat er gar keinen Sinn! Zudem entpuppt sich der schräge Cheflektor Takano auch noch als seine große Jugendliebe...

Reviews

[IM · Rating 4 out of 5]

Diciembre se ha transformado en un mes complicado para Onodera. En lo laboral, tienen menos plazo para cerrar el ciclo editorial. En lo personal, se acerca la Navidad y el cumpleaños de Takano, Ritsu no sabe muy bien qué hacer al respecto.
En este tomo también aparece la ya mencionada prometida de Onodera👀
Respecto a la historia paralela, Kisa se encuentra en un dilema. Por un lado, su trabajo consume casi todo su tiempo y ahora siente mayor responsabilidad dado que se producirá un anime de uno de los mangas que edita. Las responsabilidades de Kisa no permiten que pase mucho tiempo junto a Yukina, generándole mucha inseguridad dado que teme perderlo...

2024
La conversación de Takano y Onodera en el auto es de las interacciones más auténticas que han tenido, ambos revelan un sueño común que tuvieron en el pasado. Ojalá se repitan más este tipo de escenas donde realmente conectan, en vez de discusiones y celos.
Antes pensaba que Kisa exageraba un poco y que debía confiar más en Yukina. No es que no deba confiar en él, pero también es bueno que se dé cuenta de que debe dedicarle tiempo a la relación para que funcione.

2022
Mantengo lo dicho anteriormente, un buen tomo^^


2021
Cuando por fin había entrado en el mood se me acabaron los tomos😭
Lo que más me gustó de este volumen fue la conversación en el auto, ya que ahí ambos revelan los anhelos que tenían la primera vez que fueron pareja. También me gusta el final del capítulo en el cual aparece An, Ritsu le confiesa a Takano, de una forma un tanto indirecta, que todavía sigue enamorado de el.
Respecto a la pareja secundaria, Kisa te mereces ser feliz, confía más en Yukina!!!

Reading about Takano and Riichan is so bittersweet... I swear the last chapter in this volume made my heart hurt but the make up was rewarding and... rewarding :3 haha

Love this manga - am fast addicted *_*

Το vol. 4 αποτελείται από 4 κεφάλαια, τα 3 εκ των οποίων ασχολούνται με την υπόθεση του Onodera και του Takano, με το τελευταίο να είναι ένα πολύ μικρό funny story, η ατμόσφαιρα ανάμεσα στους οποίους είναι ακόμα πιο τεταμένη απ' όταν έκαναν sex και με τον πρώτο να εξακολουθεί να μην θυμάται τίποτα, αλλά να μην μπορεί και να ρωτήσει τον Takano σχετικά. Εν όψη Χριστουγέννων, η κατάσταση στο περιοδικό είναι πιο χάλια από ποτέ και η πίεση, χτυπάει κόκκινο. Ο Onodera, συνειδητοποιεί πως ο Takano έχει γενέθλια την παραμονή και εξαιτίας της αργίας, αποφασίζει να του ευχηθεί νωρίτερα. Βέβαια, εκείνος, έχει βάλει στόχο να περάσει τα γενέθλιά του μαζί με τον Onodera ο οποίος καταλήγει μαζί του σε μια μακριά βόλτα με το αυτοκίνητο, η οποία θα οδηγήσει σε μια ακόμα σειρά εξομολογήσεων από την μεριά του Takano, με τον Onodera όμως να κρατάει αποστάσεις εξαιτίας του Yokozawa, γεγονός που κάνει έξαλλο τον Takano που εξακολουθεί να ισχυρίζεται πως όλα αυτά, ανήκουν στο παρελθόν. Και συζητώντας για το δικό τους παρελθόν, η ατμόσφαιρα μεταξύ τους ζεσταίνεται και αυτή τη φορά, ο Onodera, παραδίνεται σε έναν ερωτικό χορό που σίγουρα θα θυμάται την επόμενη μέρα. Ω, ναι φίλοι μου! Η δύναμη των αναμνήσεων είναι μεγάλη, ιδιαίτερα όταν μιλάμε για ιδέες και σκέψεις, που παρέμειναν έτσι και δεν υλοποιήθηκαν, μένοντας με κάποιον τρόπο κολλημένες για μια ζωή, στο πίσω μέρος του μυαλού μας. Όλοι μας θέλουμε να ζήσουμε την ψευδαίσθηση ότι μπορούμε στο παρόν να κερδίσουμε τις στιγμές που χάσαμε στο παρελθόν και τελικά, ποιος ξέρει. Ίσως και να μπορούμε, αρκεί να πιστεύουμε πραγματικά σε αυτό. Στη συνέχεια, και λίγο πριν το πρώτο meeting όπου θα παρουσιάσει τη δική του πρόταση, ο Onodera, μαθαίνει πως ο πατέρας του έχει μεσολαβήσει για την πρόσληψή του, γεγονός που του τσακίζει το ηθικό, όσο κι αν ο Takano προσπαθεί να τον εμψυχώσει για πολλοστή φορά. Επιστρέφοντας μαζί στο σπίτι, θα συναντήσουν την αρραβωνιαστικιά του Onodera, αυτήν που οι δικοί του αποκαλούν έτσι τουλάχιστον, γεγονός που κάνει την κατάσταση μάλλον άβολη. Ο Onodera, αισθάνεται πως πρέπει να δικαιολογηθεί στον Takano, τον οποίο κι επισκέπτεται, όμως εκείνος, είναι έτοιμος να φύγει. Ακούγοντας πως θα πάει στο σπίτι του Yokozawa, ο Onodera πανικοβάλλεται και προσπαθεί να τον εμποδίσει. Ο Takano τον πρεσάρει και εκείνος, αναγκάζεται να "σπάσει" και να ομολογήσει πως έχει απορρίψει την An εδώ και πολλά χρόνια, επειδή ήταν ερωτευμένος με κάποιον άλλον και πως γι' αυτό τον λόγο, δεν θέλει να πάει στον Yokozawa. Φυσικά, όλο αυτό, καταλήγει στο κρεβάτι και ναι, δόξα σι, ο Onodera όχι μόνο δεν φέρνει αντιρρήσεις, αλλά συνειδητοποιεί πως δεν μπορεί να κρύβεται, όχι από τον εαυτό του τουλάχιστον. Γιατί όταν έχεις περάσει δέκα χρόνια από τη ζωή σου με τη θύμηση μιας αγάπης που ποτέ δεν κατάφερες να ξεχάσεις, αυτό λέει κάτι, όχι μόνο για τα συναισθήματά σου, αλλά και για σένα τον ίδιο. Απλά καμιά φορά, το να το παραδεχτούμε φωναχτά, να το ομολογήσουμε στον άλλον, μπορεί να είναι πολύ οδυνηρό κι επίπονο, ειδικά αν μπούμε στην διαδικασία να σκεφτούμε πως ίσως, απλά πετάξαμε τα χρόνια μας άδικα και πως τόσο πόνο, θα μπορούσαμε να τον είχαμε αποφύγει, αν είχαμε δράσει διαφορετικά. Όλα αυτά, τα είδαμε στα επεισόδια 2 και 5 της 2ης season. Το τελευταίο κεφάλαιο, αφορά πάλι τους Kisa και Yukina, των οποίων η σχέση, αν και φαινομενικά κυλάει ομαλά, έχει τα θέματά της. Ο Kisa είναι συνεχώς απασχολημένος με τη δουλειά και ο Yukina, δείχνει εκνευριστική κατανόηση, γεγονός που προβληματίζει τον πρώτο. Γιατί έτσι είμαστε οι άνθρωποι! Αν ο σύντροφός μας δεν κατανοεί την εργασιακή μας πίεση, γκρινιάζουμε. Αν πάλι δείχνει κατανόηση, ανησυχούμε μήπως δεν ενδιαφέρεται αρκετά για εμάς ώστε να ενοχληθεί που τον παραμελούμε. Και κάπου εκεί, τρυπώνει άλλη μια ανησυχία στο μυαλό μας. Μπορεί μια σχέση να αντέξει σε τέτοιους ρυθμούς; Μπορούν τα συναισθήματα να διατηρηθούν όταν ο ένας δεν βρίσκει χρόνο για τον άλλον; Και τελικά, τι είναι πιο σημαντικό στη ζωή; Η καταξίωση στην εργασία μας, ή το να είμαστε ευτυχισμένοι με αυτόν που αγαπάμε; Μπορούν να γίνουν και τα δύο ή πρέπει να επιλέξουμε; Και ναι, αυτός είναι ένα φόβος που όταν είσαι ανασφαλής, γίνεται ακόμα μεγαλύτερος. Το πρώτο σκέλος της ιστορίας αυτής που χωρίζεται ουσιαστικά σε 2 μέρη και σε 2 τεύχη, το είδαμε στο επεισόδιο 8 της 2ης season.

[kuristina- tabreez · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh my goodness, could it beee? Ritsu is actually beginning to treat and revere Takano like they're boyfriends~. Even going so far as to try to keep his feelings from getting too hurt, and desperately clinging to him when he thinks Takano is going to go visit competition after being hurt by him. Ritsu's gaze has also softened around Takano, and he never actually says "no" or tries to get Takano to stop anymore except as reflex... which also doesn't happen much anymore. This shift in behavior and heart happened with Takano's birthday car drive, and the conversations they had during that day. Ritsu bought him a cake and gifts (though he quickly halfway ruined it due to his pride but I think Takano still felt loved and appreciated by it, but just a bit disappointed). I can understand how Takano can't control himself around Ritsu, especially now that Ritsu's unable to hide, even from himself, that his feelings are mutual. At this point, any now rare time he says "this isn't love!" is more of a joke or him fruitlessly trying to convince himself of anything but the truth. At this point, all that's left is for Ritsu to let Takano hear how he feels. But as it stands, he's still too prideful for that. Uhh, also... Just a weird thought from observing how Nakamura-sensei draws him and how sensitive and kind he is... Takano is a switch, isn't he? He totally is, but with Ritsu, he's most definitely a top just because Ritsu is such a bottom. SUCH an uke. But... All in all, the relationship between these two feels way more human than any of the relationships from Junjou Romantica. I love that, they're really my favorite couple out of these two series and their... 6-8 different couples (oof).
As for the Kisa Shota episode at the end! I love those two as well, and gosh darn it, it ended on a cliffhanger. Though I already know what'll happen. Also, this was when the anime was announced, huh? That's funny, since an anime was just announced for Kisa's project in this story. I bet sensei did that on purpose. It's nice...seeing all these people so in love. And it's so odd, how much more clearly I can see and perceive everything from Ritsu's story. It's all stuff I've read before but somehow, it's so very different to me now. I guess I've really changed a lot. I'm glad that how I've changed has allowed me to appreciate one of my favorite works even more, I hope that as I continue to change, I'll still appreciate this just as much if not more. Since last time I couldn't imagine how I see it now.

This series just keeps on getting better and better! As soon as I finished volume 2, I ordered all of the other available volumes in English, managed to persuade my father to collect them from a drop off point, and read this volume as soon as I got home. Although I was also really tired and slept for 11 hours after reading half of the manga, but it proves how much I love the volume/series. I managed to read half of it before I fell asleep, and picked it straight up after I woke up!

The plot of this volume deals with a lot of the misunderstandings that Ritsu and Masamune haven't cleared up, and focuses on Ritsu's feelings. With Shota Kisa's story, a misunderstang is starting to brew with his partner Kou Yukina.

I love this series so much and I can't wait to finish this review and go onto volume 5!

[Emi · Rating 4 out of 5]

En los finales de capítulo dice que le faltan 200 y pico días para enamorarse, pues no sé yo. Si aún no está enamorado, cómo será cuando lo esté.

Me resulta una lectura ligera, divertida e interesante, la relación de los dos protas es "complicada" como poco así que da qué pensar.

Will I ever stop smiling (and dying) when reading about Ritsu and Takano, or Kisa and Yukina? No. Nope, never. I love them so much, and reading this gives me all kinds of Christmas-feels. I wish it was Christmas again. <3

3.5 stars

The constant back and forth between Onodera and Takano is getting tiresome. I wish Onodera would just admit his feelings and that he and Takano would stop being so childish.

[R E · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've grown fond of The Case of Ritsu Onodera, and, finally, in this fourth volume, we get some genuine emotion and fewer tiresome games between Tanaka and Onodera. Still, the book ends its “countdown to love” at 200-some days. Can I hang in that long over a relationship that's essentially between two people in bad faith with each other? We’ll see.
​​
​​But the second storyline, started in volume 3, is a different case entirely.
​​
​​The Case of Shota Kisa is about Shota Kisa, a 30 year old manga editor dating insanely handsome 21 year old, Kou Yukina, who is a fan of all the mangas Kisa edits. While the Onedera-Takano storyline can often feel forced and overly extenuated, with ad hoc or improvised feelings, Kisa’s insecurity with Yukina feels natural and suited to the occasion - who wouldn't wonder about whether their perfect guy really is in love with them? Or deal with the contradictions that come up between the needs of a new relationship and a hard-fought career path about to take off?
​​
​​Between the two storylines, the Kisa-Yukina relationship has the most punch, one you feel on a gut level - the kind of response that makes you want to reach into the manga and shake some sense into the characters.
​​
​​The Onodera-Takano relationship is interesting not on a personal or emotional level, but rather it's interesting like a puzzle is interesting - just how many oddly shaped pieces can be thrown in to extend the time it takes to solve it?
​​
​​On to volume 5.

4.5/5🌟

¡Al fin retomo un buen ritmo la historia! Sabia que no iba a defraudar😢

La verdad tenía un poco de miedo que la historia vaya medio pelo como en el tomo anterior, pero lo que sucedió en estos nuevos capítulos renovó mis esperanzas. Pedazo de tomo. Me encantó. Eso sí, de los 4 tomos este es el que tiene más drama. ¿Será por eso que me gustó mas que los otros? Probablemente.

Por fin Onodera muestra afecto hacia Takano. YA VENIA SIENDO HORA CHABON. La escena donde Onodera apoya su cabeza en la espalda de Takano mientras lo agarra por los brazos para que no se vaya a la casa de Yokozawa y le pide que se quede la AME. ESE ERA EL DRAMA QUE QUERIA. POR ESA RAZON ME GASTO 650 PESOS POR MANGA. AGUANTE LA FICCION.

Luego de los 3 capítulos de Takano y Onodera hubo un capítulo mas del caso de Kisa, que la verdad no me va ni me viene, pero este en concreto estuvo interesante (y eso que el tomo 3 fue full historia de ellos dos y la verdad me dio bastante igual) asi que me volvio a interesar su historia. Pero pero, Ritsu y Takano son mi pareja fav del manga, no hay discusión.

De los 4 tomos leídos hasta ahora, este es mi favorito. De lejos.

Espero que Ivrea Argentina saque mas tomos ya que quedó súper atrasada la serie con respecto a otras. Eso es lo malo del BL, siempre lo dejan para lo último, pero no pierdo las esperanzas.

Onodera relaja y acepta de una vez ser pareja de Takano. No te pido mucho!😎

Bye💜

4.5/5 stars

Not quite the same amount of perfection as the last volume, but still, pretty close.

I am still LIVING for the angst. Onodera and Takano are precious and I loved the storyline with Takanos birthday, but it is slightly frustrating the repetitiveness of having Onodera pull away whenever they have a moment. But omg how their story ended! Such a perfect combination of steamy and sweet.

As for Kisa's story in this one, I started off loving it and seeing the sweet little domestic life him and his new boyfriend have settled into.

(side note, something that slightly always grinds my gears about this series is that whenever one of the protagonists is hesitant about falling in love, they always feel the need to point out that they're both men. Why?)

But their story quickly turned so dramatic and I was so frustrated with Kisa's dilemma and wtf was that cliffhanger?

Overall-
I'm trying to hold off on reading the next volume considering it is the last one I own, and no store around me carries the later volumes... I'm torn between not wanting to run out of reading material and needing to know what happens next.

[Marianna Rainolter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Si avvicina il Natale, la scadenza per il nuovo numero della rivista Emerald e il compleanno di Takano: che periodo impegnativo per Ritsu! Cosa fare per Takano: festeggiarlo, fargli un regalo? E la sua carriera in redazione potrà davvero avanzare grazie ai burberi consigli dell’uomo? In questo numero però Takano si apre leggermente o in maniera più esplicita dichiara a Ritsu quello che prova - anche se poi torna ad essere il solito dopo questi brevi momenti. Insomma trovo la serie piacevole e divertente, mi prende ma temo che questo continuo tira e molla tra di due protagonisti alla fine annoi quindi spero che qualcosa si concretizzi... Ritorniamo poi Yukina e Shota ed il loro rapporto, ma questo extra ha un finale terribile! Insomma voglio subito il seguito per scoprire cosa accadrà perché sicuramente è un fraintendimento, un momento di crisi dei due che devono far convivere vita privata e lavorativa con il loro essere una coppia... Insomma temi interessanti e sarà curioso vedere come la situazione si evolverà.

[L Ann · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another amazing volume..

Warning: Spoilers ahead

Takano FINALLY lets (a non-drunk) Onodera know that there is nothing going on between him and Yokozawa. I hope this puts Onodera's mind at ease and allows him to feel more comfortable around him. We also get to meet Onodera's supposed fiancee. From the moment he saw her Takano is upset and Onodera wastes no time letting him know that he has nothing to worry about. How he hasn't figured out that he actually loves (and probably never stopped loving) Takano is beyond me.

And then there is Kisa and his super sweet man Yukina. What they are going through reminds me so much of what was going on between Hiroki and Nowaki in Junjo Romantica; their work lives often got in the way of their love lives. I hope they're able to make it through this rough patch because I love them together and I really want Kisa to be happy. The volume ends on a cliffhanger and I need to find out what happens next!

[Beaumont · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5 stars. This volume was much easier to read. The sex scenes between Onodera and Takano came across as consensual and enjoyed by both of them even when there were some fraught emotions. I just don’t get why that’s so hard to do. Unless you’re specifically writing that kink (and you should warn for it too, ESPECIALLY in media that’s apparently marketed for YA crowds (??????? They’re all adults but it’s a YA series ??????).

4 stars. Kisa and Yukina are as adorable as ever. I love their grumpy(Kisa)/sunshine(Yukina) thing they have going on. I also appreciate while they both have insecurities, especially Kisa is pretty much an adult about it, and his drama-genre-required outbursts aren’t completely bizarre. That’s really all I ask for.

[Gabby · Rating 5 out of 5]

Review for vol. 4-6, including Yoshino Chiaki manga chapters.

4.5 stars, rounded up.

These volumes had some really good moments. My favorite was the moment Takano realized that he fell in love with Ritsu for the first time during their high school years. Every panel of that realization was impactful, and it was so freaking sweet, especially right after that brief moment of delicious angst when Takano lashed out at Ritsu. Oh, also I loved that moment when Takano defended Ritsu against Yokozawa's criticism, and when Ritsu confessed that very tiny 'I like you' but Takano couldn't hear him due to the storm, and other good moments I really enjoyed.

Plus I also loved all the Chiaki & Hatori chapters. I found Chiaki really charming in his own ways.

[Shaya · Rating 4 out of 5]

Me encanta la relación de estos dos personajes sobre todo la de Yukina y Shouta, pero la evolución de Ritsu y Masamune, va poco a poco, pero yo creo que es bastante sólido y me hacen reír mucho cuando están en la editorial sobre todo por los troleos que le hace Takano.
Por otro lado, tenemos como he dicho antes a Yukina y Shouta, está pareja va avanzando, pero se tambalea más por las inseguridad de Shouta pero me gusta cómo se ven juntos y cómo van poco a poco yendo hacia delante aun con sus miedo e inseguridades.

[SaltySol · Rating 4 out of 5]

Takano wanted so badly to spend his birthday with Ritsu, and only him. I'm happy that Yokozawa wasn't able to ruin it for them. And after An showed up unexpectedly I was glad that Ritsu stopped him from leaving - he's starting to be more expressive about how much he cares.

As for Kisa... he still doesn't feel like he deserves to be loved. My heart goes out to him but at the same time I want to shake him until he comes to his senses.

[CARLYN · Rating 5 out of 5]

Este volumen tiene demasiadas cosas que contar. Me encanta la pareja de Takano y Onedera, son tan tiernos y después de todo lo que pasaron se merecen ser felices. Se presenta a la prometida de Ritsu y que Takano sufrió al enterarse de que tuvo. También esta el hecho de que es el cumpleaños de Takano. Como dije, son muchas cosas.
Sobre la parte de Shouta y Kou, ese beso en el lavadero fue realmente romántico. Mucha intriga y posiblemente corazones rotos.

Se acerca el fin de año para la editorial y las cosas no pintan bien para Ritsu, así mismo gracias a Yokozawa se entera del cumpleaños de Takano y se verá implicado en un viaje de cumpleaños.

Awwww, that date in the snow was so cute! I’m totally with Ododera though, I’d be so annoyed by how everyone treats him.
