This is definitely not love!! | Sekaiichi Hatsukoi
Review/recommendation by baka-girl (Some rights reserved)
Rating: 8.2 of 10 ♥

Before you start reading it, let me remind you that Sekaiichi Hatsukoi is boys love (BL) / shounen-ai / yaoi series. So, for some of you who hate it, please don't bother to read this review xDD I'm a little late on this series, considering it already ended a few weeks ago, but better late than never, right? :D

Summary

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.

07 Ghost premieres 12 July 2011, Tuesday, 630PM WIB (UTC+7), on Animax Asia and airs every weekday thereafter. It replaces Lucky Star.

With his mastery of the magical art of Zaiphon, Teito Klein gets drawn into an ancient battle that may shed light on his own mysterious past.
–Animax synopsis

I actually wanted to title this post Ho Yay, Incoming! because, as TV Tropes points out, you will run into a LOT of homoeroticism in 07-Ghost, especially between Teito and Mikage: Only halfway through the first episode, they slept in the same bed, and this was merely the beginning of it. Very Fujo-friendly, in other words. (Thought I'd get that—warning?—out of way :D)
