[annampoland]

Hello Guys. ❤️

I hope you are as much excited as I am.

I bought the newest magazine of emerald that includes our Sekaiichi Hatsukoi and Junjou Romantica.

I am so much in pain that only 4 days left for Onodera’s confession, it’s like so close but at the same time so far…

Anyway I am sharing the link for the chapter 36 : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1rCKRAbXNr7-2VT6mKYAKbm7D_Jhmd8W6?usp=sharing

Please contribute to our mangakas hard work and buy the magazine or even manga just to help her and show her appreciation

I hope you enjoy the chapter ❤️🥰🔥🔥

I am open to hear all of your thoughts and predictions of how the confession will look like, just dm me 🙃😊

Takaritsu Week - 2023

August 4th - Day 5 - Regret/Support

My longing is for a past where I never committed the mistakes that tore me apart from you. My love, could you give me another chance? I promise I will love you the way you deserve to be loved.

My prompt for the fifth day of @takaritsuweek! I'm getting better at making gifs! :D

Wanna draw these 2 after the *spoiler* CONFESSION scene

[writtenwordsofaugust]

We all get to see Takano's cool side but I bet in my HC, Ritsu can rival that easily lol. Imagine being rich, good-looking, loves literature, probably also knowing an instrument or two, having cute fashion sense (hehe Rittie, you old money preppy nerd), bilingual, and cultured?!

stop of being melodramatic bitches and dance

Things I hope the next chapters would cover:

SUP EVERYONE, (SPOILER ALERT) TAKANO AND ONODERA ARE OFFICIALLY DATING AND THAT MADE ME THINK:

There are some loose threads I hope get covered when Takano and Onodera's dating arc starts:

TAKANO'S REAL FATHER

I am kind of surprised that we as a fandom just kind of glossed over this line. Like Takano never really spoke about his parents, but we know that he has a bad relationship with both of them. It is hinted that he is still in touch with his mother. But we dont really know how involved she is. Makes me wonder if this is going to be a plot later. Like if we ever see his real father.

RITSU'S RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS MUM

Another plot sekaiichi hatsukoi frequently talks about is Ritsu's relationship with his mum, while he is shown to care about her, he hardly ever talks to her on the phone. Like how An says "he is always short on the phone", or he rarely visits home. This also could be a potential plot later.

RITSU'S FATHER

People like to say that Takano is a very mysterious character because he is the most poker faced. To which I say nope, I think Ritsu's father is the most mysterious guy. Even though Ritsu is the heir, his father has not yet made an appearence to talk to him about it, instead he interfered with his son's application in marukawa, and that ended up with Onodera in Marukawa. What if he already knew about Onodera and takano?? I hope this is mentioned in later chapters.

HEIR OR NO HEIR?

Another one of the biggest plot points in sekaiichi hatsukoi is Ritsu's position in the publishing world. Because Ritsu is uncertain whether he will have to become the heir to Onodera publishing. In the future it is possible that Onodera/or his parents will come to a decision.

HAITANI REAPPEARENCE AS A LOVE RIVAL?

I am not gonna lie, Haitani scares the crap out of me, I mean in sekaiichi hatsukoi every character has a good and bad side. But Haitani is confusing, now I could label him as evil, but he is not really evil (yet), but I can see him taking more of an antagonistic role if he was serious about being Onodera's love rival. AND THAT scares the crap out of me. Not that takano will fall for him, but he will do something to onodera or both of them.

MUTOU SENSEI'S WEDDING!

Onodera has not yet told Takano about the fact that Mutou sensei and her spouse met after ten years, and her wedding will perhaps be a turning point in their established relationship.

WILL FUSHIJIRO PLAY A BIGGER PART ?

So far we dont know much about Fushijiro except she is a exceptional mangaka, who tends to overwork herself and others around her. Her stories are shown to be unique, and I think she will be one of the people who will indirectly help ritsu become a sucessful editor.

PERMANENT EMPLOYEE AND TALK WITH HIS FATHER

After Ritsu found out he is temprory worker, he is given an oppurtunity to do a test to become Marukawa's permanent employee. In that Takano mentions that he has to talk to his dad about it one day. Which means there is a potenial that we will see both Ritsu's attempt at being a permanent employee and perhaps an eventual meet between Ritsu's father and Takano.

[fyoyaswifties]

NOBODY CARES BUT RITSU ALREADY HAS CONFESSED HE IS IN LOVE WITH TAKANO IN THE NEW ACT OF SEKAIICHI HATSUKOI

HE'S THE (ONLY) ONE WHO LOVES MASAMUNE the most IN THE WORLD

HE'S THE ONLY ONE

HE'S

HE.... AAAAAHHHHHH

EDIT: I was very excited about the chapter, and I had difficulty finding how to express the dialogue in English. But those who follow me on Twitter saw that I translated it as it really is "Takano san who loves you the most in this world is me." Takano then tells Ritsu that he is happy because he loves him too for the past ten years and that he has been waiting to hear those words from Ritsu himself. So don't treat me like someone who doesn't know Japanese, put yourself in my shoes BECAUSE I WAS JUST EXCITED SO STOP CORRECTING ME.

Even if Ritsu didn't say "I'm the only one", it's very clear that he is. Not even Takafumi's love for Masamune was as intense as Ritsu's. But anyway, the shojo manga style confession that Masamune wanted is there, Ritsu is a winner. (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

Ritsu: Fuck my boss

Takano, throwing up his hands in frustration: What do men want!

Day 2 for @takaritsuweek

Prompt - Rain/Umbrella

[yukinasversion]

I think a lot about how Onodera's personality would've been affected if he got to stay in a relationship with Takano.

Imagine Takano graduates from high school, and Ritsu is there because nobody else is. And he runs up to him with his red cheeks, saying something like "senpai!! congratulations".

Imagine Ritsu graduates a couple years later and Takano shows up, but Ritsu's family is there and they're like "who the heck are you?" And Takano is like *shrug shrug* "I'm just a guy" while Ritsu melts into the ground trying to explain who he is cause he never told his parents that he dates a guy.

Imagine Takano finding out that Ritsu is engaged, and Ritsu explains that he had no say in the matter, so now Takano is angry at his parents for forcing him into engagement with An-chan.

Imagine Takano starting his job at Marukawa and Onodera never works for Onodera Publishing because he wants to work with Takano. And imagine that while he's in high school and uni, he starts reading Takano's favourite shoujo manga series so he has no problem becoming an editor.

Imagine when they walk down the hallway, instead of Ritsu going "why does he have to follow me everywhere IM SO ANNOYED", he thinks: "I'm glad senpai's not grown tired of me and is with me all the time".

Imagine them taking coffee breaks together!!

When Ritsu moves out of his parents' place, Takano offers that he could stay with him. And he accepts.

And just imagine that overall Onodera is a much more cheerful guy. A chatty little thing. Happy.

And so is Takano.

I think about this a lot.

[minghio]

Onodera confession took for us about 17 years but how long did it take for Takano to hear it, weren’t they in some 1 year countdown?

I think this confession ended being a bigger version of what happens in the miraculous ladybug fandom when it has been *years* for us but about five second for the characters

Some authors take slow burn a little bit too seriously
