  Bad romance. Junjou's nightmare and its continuation. This anime glorify sexual assault,molestation and abuse.

  No means no? No, we haven't heard
  The most important problem of this show is the fact that "romantic relationships" are not romantic, they are hysterical, built on blackmail and manipulation of the partner.
  Story? What plot? No, it's just a regular slice of life. Chewing the same problems, character thoughts, experiences and words over and over again. Sometimes office work and sexual assaults. That's the whole story.

  

  Ritsu Onodera and Takano - this is one of the biggest problems. Takano is a man to be called an abuser. Yes Yes. Onodera tells him a thousand times that she loves him no more and I don't want anything to do with him. But Takano doesn't care. She harassed him sexually in most episodes. Onodera says no, but Takano doesn't care. A beautiful relationship built on blackmail. Takano is jealous, manipulative, and aggressive. Ritsu is hysterical and, has around 25 years old, behaves like a middle school student. There are no normal dialogues here. It's a scream, a scream, and one more scream for each other. We have situations with them like; Takano helps Ritsu complete his assignment after work. Ritsu mentions that while he is having a girlfriend (to lie to this asshole so that he will unhook himself), Takano becomes jealous and harass Ritsu by kissing him, although Ritsu is against it. Or the second situation. Ritsu returns from the library and meets Takano on the stairs. Takano again kisses Ritsu without permission and molests him (yes yes, first junjou romantica scene) although he is against and Ritsu pushes him away. Takano banally does not understand the word ''no''
  There are other couples too. Kisa and Yukina are The most adequate couple. I didn't feel like killing them after the first five minutes.
  I do not remember the other one, because it is so pale and uninteresting that I have no words.
  Character design is terrible. "All the semes look the same". And the same about ukes. As if they were created in some game for kids where you have to dress up a doll and you have two types of characters to choose from. Heck, it's a nightmare because these faces and hands are just scary.
  If you think that this is healthier than some fujoshi's beloved Junjou Romantica, then I am begging you to start thinking and analyzing.
  It doesn't get any better.
  If you like assaults, blackmail, manipulation, and other abuse stuff, this is a great show for you. The only plus is humor. Some scenes are really funny and amusing. You can only announce this show if you are heavily drunk. Maybe the story is not as pwp and sex-centered as in Junjou, but not really much better.

  How to write bad, rape romance. With terrible love story.

  Rape and sexual harassment is love. That's the plot.
  Trigger:Molestation/rape
  Takano rapes Ritsu and harassed him and this is love. Yes, I will be talking about rape so it can be a huge trigger.
  When I was a little fujoshi, I liked that anime. It's been 10 years since I watched it and I think it is horrible.
  What's wrong with the plot? Literally everything? Takano and Ritsu are typical yaoi characters that behave badly.
  We’re supposed to go molestation and rape —> love! It is so unbelievably disgusting that it truly beggars belief.
  In the third episode, Onodera is attacked at home and molested by Takano. Be aware of it. He is alone with a man who sexually harassed him before. And now he is literally raping. But that's the only problem? No!
  Sekaiichi uses rape and sexual harassment as part of a ROMANTIC COMEDY storyline.
  

  

  In addition, victim-blaming is a common thing. Onodera is blamed for being guilty of Takano being a bastard. Takano treats Ritsu like garbage. He calls, screams, rapes, harassed, behaves very aggressively, violating all boundaries of privacy.
  Onodera keeps saying he is not in love. And he is right. But after a while, he begins to understand that he loves Takano, as he used to be at school. Stockholm syndrome. This is his true diagnosis. It is a bad thing that this title is popular, although it contains toxic messages. The plot is boring and repeating all the time, with no character development and normal dialogue. Characters do not change in 12 episodes. They act the same. Aggression, infantilism, rape, abuse, lack of communication between them.
  There is some office work here, so this part is interesting. But otherwise, everything: tantrums, love manipulation, blackmail, humiliation, insults, and all this for twelve episodes. 'Ritsu never consents to any of his behavior and expressed his discomfort with the touching. I’ve actually didn't remember how many times. Ritsu has told this man no and he literally responds with,” I don't care'' or '' You are mine, I love you''. Yokozawa blackmails and victim-blaming Ritsu. Takano does the same. He constantly blackmails Ritsu, who is in a bad situation anyway. And you can say it's ok because seme loves uke which means he can act like that. It's the same as talking beats -> loves. Only no one will say the same about a straight couple. But homo couples are another thing. They can behave this way. Because they are ordinary toys for someone else's fantasy. When a guy rapes a woman, he is a criminal and a bastard. When someone does it in relation to a man, it is already love.
  No-no-no.
  I've been a fujoshi myself for over 10-11 years, and I really don't understand why it's so popular. We deserve Given, Umibre, Classmates, but not this!

  A meaningful romance story or just Yaoi fetishization?

  #Meaningful Love Story or just Yaoi Pandering?

  ---

  

  Yaoi in my experience has always felt like it’s had a striped past as it’s sometimes used for cheap seductions to Fujoshi/Fudanshi (Female/Male) consumers of the genre

  If you are not a garbage fucking human being you probably don’t know what I’m talking about
  me being a true degenerate connoisseur of yaoi

  Oh how I envy you bastards and your purity of non-association to BL looking down on me from your pedestals

  it’s a degenerate swamp mired with tons of archetype dynamics that are intended to hook readers addicting them to the same pulls over and over and over and over and over- RELEASE US NOW

  “What is this crazy person talking about mom stop having sex with notdad”

  S E X U A L____A S S A U L T or fanservice is what I am talking about FOOL

  Its the name of the game with Yaoi tons of authors love shoving their hards throbbing smut shit in their work because guys getting pinned by guys Kabedon style and being f and as they spurt *** and scream and shout his name is what makes the big bucks in this industry

  Okay yeah maybe they’re are the beautiful and meaningful non-sexual Yaoi Manga stories out there- but no one fucking reads those

  

  *cries in lack of popularity*

  ---

  

  So Sekaitchi is about the jaded literature editor Onodera not wanting to appear to ride the coattails of his father who owns a big publishing company and moves to a different magazine in the hopes of editing best-selling books that will finally let him get out of the shadow of his fathers success

  Except the dude is moved to the Shoujo Manga Department EMERALD which is the most Bishounen department of pretty boys all of who mostly have Yaoi side stories (only one of them is good tbh)

  after initially being condemned for his lack of experience in manga by the editor in chief he makes it his sole mission to try his best at Shoujo Manga editing because he hates being written off before trying his best and his boss the editor in chief turns out to be his high-school crush/boyfriend who he had a traumatic experience with that jaded him to love

  

  The show splices between the stress of him navigating his way through this new industry while also paralleling the romance subplot and the irony is that he’s a jaded editor working on romance while also being in a romantic plot and to contrast

  ---

  People have a problem with the way the romance between Takano and Onodera's romance functions in that there are obvert moments where Takano forces himself on Onodera and these are pretty clear acts without consent and have a degree of smut atmosphere to them but also try to mix emotional elements

  sigh

  Besides RAPE the biggest problem with this is that it somewhat negates a bit of the idea of a romance plot at least in the idea of taking it seriously when you have something that seems deliberately done for the sake of appealment to fans with a steamy love scene

  Sekaitchi Hatsukoi is a love story about two people coming to terms with the person they were once in love with, a love that damaged them deeply, the people they were, and the people they love are not the same anymore and they’re chance encounter is essentially a chance for them to confront the source of the wounds that have stagnated love in their lives and to even aknowledge how the other person was affected and in pain

  

  Their former relationship while having synergy lacked in substance of being a real relationship which is why the most minorest of actions and Onodera’s meekness causes the whole thing to come crumbling down

  SO While Sekaitchi does have so many bad tropes taken from the Yaoi genre it also does have meaningful relationship writing but a lot of that could be ruined by the forced smut scenes that are perpetuated in the show

  But

  
  They knew who they were pandering to when they made these
  ( I want one and then I want to die)
  < -----

  I believe that unlike TEN COUNT which was wholly lacking in substance and was just purely for the sake of smutty sex scenes wheras with Sekaitchi Hatsukoi there is an emotional arc to follow that has a good deal of maturity to it

  I imagine the author of Sekaitchi Hatsuko was trying to balance the type of fanbase that tends to crave smut scenes while also trying to tackle relationship writing something which felt quite lacking in Junjou Romantic at many points where the format tends to be quite bland and is mainly appealing in the dynamic to fans

  I think the concessions the author made with Sekaitchi Hatsuko are quite hard to stomach and it definitely feels like they might have been trying to play it safe trying to catch Yaoi fans with the smut scenes so that the series had more selling power

  And it does have a rancid aftertaste after so many years of rewatching the show dozen of times it can be quite watering down of many aspects the show tries to tackle

  

  But I digress I geninely love the story flaws and all and this is just me laying them down orderly feel free to kick me in the balls I get it

  I don't really score shit so whatever I hate myself
