Sekaiichi Hatsukoi is an anime of the BL genre composed of two seasons, which I loved deeply, especially the first one. The opening and closing themes are true musical gems. From the first time I listened to the ending, my ears were stunned by its sweet melody; it is such a tender and precious song that I loved it to the point of having it as a ringtone on my cell phone for quite a while.
As for the story, the plot development can seem slow at times. However, this is not something negative; on the contrary, I consider that this slow pace is necessary to give space to the development of the three couples that star in the series, and above all, for the main story between Onodera and Takano to advance with the emotional depth it requires. The loose ends between them must be resolved in a coherent way, and that justifies that everything is built calmly.
The second season delves even deeper into the romantic tension and Onodera's adjustment to the work environment. A slight but noticeable positive change in his personality is observed: he always seeks to better himself professionally through his dedication and effort, despite having such a demanding boss as Takano, who does not give up on him. Little by little, Onodera begins to accept and acknowledge his true feelings.
The animation is quite good and stays true to the manga style. The expressions, both in the comic and tender moments, highlight the sympathy of the characters.
