sekai ichi hastukoi is basically the same premise of junjou romantica, and being by the same author- but somehow more fitting the bill of "pure hearted romance" than the original.
its the story of 3 different couples; firstly the the main couple is about ristu who ends up working in a manga editing department working under the hellish boss who happened to be the first love who he blames for being the cause of him becoming a cynical adult.
but, despite him thinking that the relationship was a fling his boss- takano seems to be still in the love, and a ri-ignighting of their first love is in store.
the other couples include a naive manga author who is surrounded by 2 people completely in love with him, and he has no clue.,
the third is another editor, 30 years old, wanting to properly fall in love for the first time, all the while crushing on the local bookshoop clerk for his looks alone.
the manga is really quite graphic, but these bits are cut out more which makes it a lot better for once (differing from manga so much never works out well, usually) but this choice widens the people who'd be comfortable watching it.
it's a really cute story, and its really good that people who may not like yaoi can still comfortably watch it!
actually, i'd suggest this to anyone who likes romance in general- as its a really cute story just in general, whether you like bl or not, and a good intro to the genre.
