World's Greatest First Love (2011)

[reviews_and_ramblings]

World's Greatest First Love is from the same author of Junjou Romantica, and it's again about 4 couples (5 if you consider also the movie, which is about the couple I prefer, Takafumi and Zen. In World's Greatest First Love the concept, is, indeed, the first love. Starting from the main couple, Masamune and Ritsu, who first met in high school, and then, after a 10 years separation, are now colleagues. Masamune never forgot Ritsu, while instead, I had the impression Ritsu forgot about Masamune. This is quite strange, since it was Ritsu who had a 3 years long crush for Masamune when he was a teenager. The second couple is Shouta and Yoshiyuki, again childhood friends, and again first time lovers, even if they arrive to consummate their relationship as adults. The third couple is the one that probably I prefer, Chiaki and Kou. Chiaki has never being in love, despite having had quite a lot of lovers; he is pining for the perfect man and he doesn't want to believe that the younger, and more handsome, Kou is interested in him. He rejects Kou and does everything in his own to destroy the feelings Kou has for him. Of course he will not manage it. Isaka and Asahina are playing one of the thrope I prefer, that of the rich man and his valet, where the role of seme and uke are reversed: the valet is actually the seme, taking care of his uke in every aspect of the uke's life. Of course Isaka is completely dependent, in love and life, from Asahina. Takafumi and Zen, the couple who star in the movie, is my favorite. Takafumi has been in love with Masamune since their college years together, but Masamune, while accepting a sexual relationship with him, has never reciprocate the feeling. Zen will convince Takafumi that a first love that has never had the chance to blossom, is not real, and that Takafumi can have the real deal with him.
