From the creator of Junjou Romantica, comes a new anime Series, Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi
Onodera Ritsu has just transferred from his father's publishing company to Marukawa Shoten. Assigned to the shoujo manga division, he crosses path with the person he'd least expected to meet. Takano Masamune is the editor-in-chief of the division Ritsu's been assigned to, and the two seem get off on the wrong foot right from the very start when Takano unexpectedly kisses him. However, there is more to than what meets the eye... Takano is actually Saga, Ritsu's senpai and high school love-- whom Ritsu had thought to have played him for a fool by taking his affections for granted when he confessed and summarily dumped him.
While the main story revolves around the relationship of Ritsu and Takano, there are also side stories that concentrate on the relationship between Hatori Yoshiyuki and Chiaki Yoshino as well as the relationship of Kisa Shouta and Kou Yukina.
Side stories are not given heavy focus, each pairing given two to three episodes of screen time so far. These two pairings are also shown briefly in the opening of the anime.
