Sekaiichi Hatsukoi OVA

Even though I'm not a fan of Nakamura Shungiku, I like her stories. The Junjou Romantica anime was pretty successful in Japan, so I figured that Sekaiichi Hatsukoi would have better production values than other BL stuff like Togainu no Chi.

And I was indeed satisfied :D Putting the artwork aside, I enjoyed this OVA a lot and I'm really looking forward to the anime! It put a big smile on my face. Plus, I was all the time thinking: Fei Wan x Fei Wan! xD I'm glad I didn't know much about the story.

Konishi... I really love that guy. But unfortunately, I still can't get into Kondou Takashi for some reason. It's not that I think he's a bad actor, it's his type of voice. I don't enjoy listening to him. Anyway, he does a good job too.

I want more. I can't wait!

Of course, Ryuusei is not happy about this, so what will become of him...?


Personal comments: Change of plans, I'll start by this one since it was already written. First of all, my Japanese is very poor so I apologize in advance for any mistake I could have made. I decided to give it a try and gather the courage to write a review because I didn't find any summaries on this. The combination of Konishi and Yusa is one of the hottest ever. The sound effects and BGM are great. It's very easy to get into this new world. Sometimes I felt like I was like watching a movie. I loved the whole fantasy setting. Now on to the detailed summary and personal comments~
