Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi: The World's Greatest First Love (2011)

In the vibrant world of publishing, newcomer Onodera Ritsu, a promising literary editor, lands a position at the esteemed Marukawa Publishing Company. However, Ritsu finds himself plunged into the unexpected realm of Shojo Manga, far from the literary landscape he envisioned. At the helm of this division stands Masamune Takano, the enigmatic editor-in-chief, who senses a familiar aura around his fresh recruit. As hours morph into days under the pressure of deadlines and ink, Takano's suspicion transforms into realization. His newest team member is none other than his high school sweetheart, the one that slipped away. With the past resurfacing, Takano is fueled by a newfound resolve: to reignite the flame of their former relationship and make Ritsu fall for him, once more. Despite his initial refusal and a retreat to the sanctuary of his home, Ritsu finds himself inevitably drawn into the whirlpool of memories, reliving the sweet bitterness of first love during his adolescent years. Unyielding in his pursuit, Masamune is convinced he can rekindle their connection, igniting a new chapter in their love story. As the narrative unfolds, they navigate through a maze of emotions, in a quest to rediscover what might just be the world's greatest first love...
