Junjou Romantica and Sekai'Ichi Hatsukoi

Well, well, well, if it isn’t me. :) Okay, I’d watched Sekaiichi Hatsukoi to episode 5 (because apparently ep 6 wouldn’t load :( I was anticipating!) They had started doing ‘things’! Oh my god, I am so glad, not because they did ‘things’, but because they’d finally advanced. I broke my specs again. Uggh! I think I’m gonna get a framed one. Here’s a review about two of my favourite animes:

SEKAI’ICHI HATSUKOI (THE WORLD’S GREATEST FIRST LOVE)

SEKAI’ICHI HATSUKOI , YOSHIYUKI HATORI (Seme)/YOSHINO CHIAKI (Uke) – You get the arrangements, the first names will be the Seme (which is the attacker, the aggressive partner) and the second names will be the Uke (the passive partner, the one being attacked, which is my favorite role by the way) It’s a love story between Tori and Chiaki, and they are so cute. They are childhood friend – Tori being the older one – and grew up together. Tori worked as Chiaki’s editor, who draws Shoujo mangas (girls’ comic). Tori became Chiaki’s editor so that he could be closer to Tori, and made sure that Chiaki wouldn’t find out. He is in love with Chiaki for 28 years, which I count it be really long, and they must be old. But they don’t look old.

SEKAI’ICHI HATSUKOI, ONODERA RITSU/MASAMUNE TAKANO – Well, this is the main pair in the show. More or less, to me the every Uke looks the same, so when they changed scene, I’ll be confused. Then, I’ll be like ‘Oh! This is another pair!’Okay, Ritsu worked in Marukawa Publishing because he wanted to show to his colleague that he can be successful on his own without his father’s company; Onodera Publication. Marukawa Publishing sells comics while Onodera Publication sells novel. Ritsu worked on the girls’ comic section, edition storyboards and stuffs, so the office practically looked like a playground; toys and flowers and such are decorated in the office. Okay, get to the point!
Ritsu and Takano had known each other since high school and Takano is the senior. Ritsu was fifteen then, and now’s ten years later, so he’s 25. Ritsu confessed his love to Takano, and they did ‘things’, but I’m unclear if Takano felt the same thing or not. To me, I think that Takano had fallen for him, it’s just that he puts out a cool front. So, 10 years later, they meet again. This time, Takano is Ritsu’s boss and over the time range of 10 years, Ritsu had already suppressed himself from crushing on Takano, but to no avail on their ‘reunition’. Takano, by this time, had fallen for Ritsu even thought Ritsu now rejects him. He vowed and told Ritsu that, ‘I will make you fall in love with me’, which is kinda disturbing if I’m Ritsu. I’m sure he feels that too. So slowly and slowly, step by step, I am confident that Takano will be successful in capturing his heart. And I can’t help but kept replaying and replying the part when Takano touches Ritsu’s head in, I think, episode 4!

SEKAI’ICHI HATSUKOI, KOU YUKINA /SHOUTA KISA– My favourite Uke in the show; Kisa! He is so cute, he’s 30 but is mistaken to be younger because he has a baby face. He talks funny and cute; I mean he’s like a little boy. I’m dotting for him! His relationship hasn’t showed up in the show yet, and I don’t even know who’s Kou yet. Kisa is the guy that sits beside Ritsu, they are both editors. In wikipedia, it was stated that Kisa is someone who doesn’t think that he couldn’t be capable of a serious relationship, so he questions his love for Kou and doesn’t hold out much hope for them to be in a relationship. Where else, it is stated that Kou is willing to fight to make Kisa understand that the feelings between them are real and that Kisa is able to actually fall in love. Aww~ Well, based on the descriptions, I think this will be my favorite couple in this show. :)

JUNJOU ROMANTICA/EGOIST/TERRORIST (PURE/EGOIST/TERRORIST ROMANCE)

JUNJOU ROMANTICA, AKIHIKO USAMI (Seme)/ TAKAHASHI MISAKI (Uke) – It focuses on an 18 years old boy who had entrance exams to take so he ended up in his brother’s friend’s place, whom is Usami. Usami is supposed to tutor Misaki – Misaki founded out that Usami had a one-sided love for Misaki’s elder brother; Takahiro – and Misaki improved. In the first episode, it shows that Usami ‘attacked’ Misaki (not going in on the details) in Usami’s bedroom when Misaki first came to his house and found a Boys’ Love comic on the table, written by Usami with a pen name. The comic’s main characters consist of Usami and Takahiro’s name. Misaki is enraged because Usami uses his brother’s name in an inappropriate comic. Supposedly, after a while, Takahiro is getting engaged before Usami even confessed to him, in fear of ruining their friendship. Well, Takahiro is straight. He has a polite and pretty wife. Somewhere in the story, Usami loved Misaki instead of Takahiro.
Finally, the show came to a part I was anticipating for. I was waiting for Misaki to do the FIRST MOVE. And he did! In I think the last episode, where I was cheering, ‘Misaki, do it! Do it!’ I was so extremely happy, and Misaki looked so cute with the ‘I’ll do it this time, so please don’t tease me’ kinda look! My nose was practically spurting blood of happiness. (Sorry if I sound psycho) But then, in the end, Usami still takes the lead, indicating that he’ll let Misaki do it if Misaki ‘is prepared to do the first move’. I hope there’s a season 2. They are my favorite couple on Junjou, and they have a 10 year gap between them.

JUNJOU EGOIST, NOWAKI KUSAMA/KAMIJOU HIROKI – Hmm, the interesting couple. The couple that I liked to see the most, also considered as my favorite couple. You see, in this case, the attacker is the younger one while the passive one is older by 4 years. The passive guy, Hiroki, is a really bad tempered guy and a guy, who in my opinion, tries to hides his feelings for Nowaki (which means typhoon). He tries to argue back the things that embarrass him, but behind this façade, he’s actually a shy guy who gets flustered easily. His face is always getting red and he starts getting annoyed when Nowaki looks for him in his office, which is in a university. Nowaki always tries his best to match up to Hiroki’s standard in career and there was a time where Hiroki thought that Nowaki was going to leave him, when the truth is, Nowaki cramped his studies overseas into 1-2 years just so that he could come back faster to Hiroki. Well, my favorite part is in the library, because for once, Hiroki looked soft and helpless. >:D

JUNJOU TERRORIST, YOU MIYAGI/TAKATSUKI SHINOBU – I like this couple too. Seems like I like every couple in the Junjou series. Haiz… This case is about this 18 years old high school boy who barged into Miyagi’s life. But the catch here is; Shinobu was Miyagi’s brother-in-law before Miyagi divorces Shinobu’s sister. I suspect he’s straight but he teases Hiroki (Egoist) a lot, so he’s kinda suspicious. Years ago, Miyagi fell in love with his high school teacher who had to quit teaching because she’s really sick. Miyagi visited her often and takes care of her. The teacher told him to let go even though she knows the fact that he loves her, because she knows that if she dies, he’s going to suffer the loss.
Being stubborn and true to his heart, Miyagi held on until the day of her death. The teacher’s parents’ painstakingly told Miyagi, ‘Just let go. Our daughter’s dead now’.Miyagi still loved her ‘till now, which is over 10 years. Miyagi’s feelings toward Shinobu was unwaveringly ignorant. He doesn’t want to be in a relationship with Shinobu, when actually Miyagi loves Shinobu, except that he hasn’t gotten over the teacher. The teacher had asked him to relief himself from her and leads a good life, but he refused. So there was a time where Shinobu had to fly back to America or something which is where he came from before he came to Japan to see Miyagi. Miyagi requested the teacher to forgive him for loving Shinobu while running to the airport.When he arrives; he stops Shinobu and told him not to leave. Shinobu cried on the airport, well, quite loudly and walk to the exit of the airport with his head down sobbing while holding onto Miyagi’s clothes whom was holding his trolley luggage. Hmm, cute.
