Sekai-Ichi Hatsukoi: Takano Masamune and Onodera Ritsu 03

情熱っていうには 未知数すぎる
The concept of passion is so full of unknown numbers.
反射的引きあうような 強い磁力
A strong reflexive magnetic force is pulling us closer.
理性のボーダーライン 軽く越えて
Nimbly crossing over the borderline of rationality,
現れたその日から そらせない
ever since the day you appeared in my life, I can’t turn myself away.

イタズラな運命 混戦中の感情に
Be it my mischievous fate or my brawling emotions,
理屈とか通用しないんだ
things such as logic simply do not apply to them.
手をのばせばわかる? はじめてのキモチ
If I reach out my hand, will I understand these first feelings of mine?

“I’m in the World’s Greatest Love”
Lyrics and Translation by Anime Lyrics

Sekai-Ichi Hatsukoi: Yukina Kou 04

世界一キミに恋をしてる
I’m in love with you, the greatest person in the world.
一秒ごともっと好きになる
At the tick of every second, I like you more and more.
ハッピーエンドにはまだ遠い
We are still far from a happy ending,
叶えたいよ (first love) ふたりだけのストーリー
but I want to make it come true! (first love)
動きだした
The story of the two of us has been set in motion.

That really looks like how I’d imagine Yukina to be in the real world! No wonder Shota fell for him… I’d bet lot of girls (and some guys) would! Thanks to Kylie for sending this in! And if anyone happens to know where Sora, the cosplayer’s website is, please do let me know!

Sekai-Ichi Hatsukoi: Takano Masamune 03

The Editor-in-Chief of Emerald Department in Marukawa, Takano Masamune could be described as legendary among his peers for resurrecting an already dying magazine. He is sometimes referred to as “the capable” or even “monster” because he is a perfectionist who has a good eye for shoujo manga and excellent editing skills. Although Onodera Ritsu declared that he has no feelings for him, Takano promises Ritsu that he will make him fall in love with him again.

That is one of the most beautiful cosplays of Takano I have yet seen! Looks like he’s got a lot editing work to do, but I’m sure Takano can handle it! Thanks again to Toki for sharing this!

Sekai-Ichi Hatsukoi: Kisa Shota and Yukina Kou 02

Although he is already 30-years-old, Kisa Shota claims he has never actually fallen in love with anyone before. He knows that he has a tendency of falling for someone just for their good looks, and thus immediately develops a crush on Yukina Kou when he saw him in Marimo Books. After Kisa was introduced to Yukina by Yokozawa Takafumi from the sales department, Yukina becomes very interested in Kisa as he is the editor of the shoujo manga books that he likes the most.

To those who’ve seen the series, you probably know where this scene in from, but who’s to say what’s really happening behind that sketchbook, right? Thanks to again to Toki for sharing this!

Sekai-Ichi Hatsukoi: Onodera Ritsu and Saga Masamune

When they were still in high school, Onodera Ritsu had a crush on his sempai, Saga Masamune. He never spoke to him in person, but adored him from afar. Seeing as how much Masamune loved to read, Onodera decided that he would everything Masamune did in their school library. They eventually got together and Masamune even ended up tutoring Onodera after school.

This looks like a scene from a live action movie! I love the look on Masamune’s face! He looks bored but he stay with the sleeping Onodera anyway! Thanks to Toki for sharing this!

Sekai-Ichi Hatsukoi: Kirishima Zen

First introduced in Jujou Romantica as the editor-in-chief of shonen manga magazine “Japun”, Kirishima Zen is a single parent raising his only daughter, Hiyori. His wife passed on a few years ago, but it would appear as if 10-year-old Hiyori is the one taking care of her father as she likes cooking her father’s meals everyday. Nevertheless, she is fond of Kirishima’s friend, Yokozawa Takefumi and affectionately calls him “Onii-san”.

Shin looks amazing as Kirishima! But smoking is a bad habit, so please don’t start! It’s bad for your health and the environment! Thanks again to Samantha for sending this in!

Sekai-Ichi Hatsukoi: Kisa Shota and Yukina Kou

“Love at first sight works well enough in manga, but this is reality.”
- Kisa Shota

Kisa Shota, who is often mistaken to be much younger than his age, does not think he is capable of being in a serious relationship, because he often falls in love with someone, anyone, for their good looks, regardless of their personality. However, when he meets Yukina Kou, he experiences for the first time what it truly feels like to fall in love with not only a person’s looks, but their entire being as well.

Featuring Shin as Yukina Kou and Manato(マナト) as Kisa Shota! Ok, guys, look away for now, today’s another treat for come of Cosplay Holic’s female readers. Perhaps I should find some yuri to balance things out, but I believe the cosplayers are both female anyway, if that compensates for anything. Thanks to Samantha for sending this in!

Sekai-Ichi Hatsukoi: Onodera Ritsu and Takano Masamune

After overhearing his co-workers gossiping about him riding on his father’s coattails, Onodera Ritsu resigned from his father’s company so that he can prove to himself and to others that he could succeed even without his father’s influence. He applied in Marukawa Publishing as a literary editor, only to be assigned to the shoujo department, Emerald. He considered resigning again after meeting his intolerable boss, Takano Masamune, but his pride forced him to stay after Takano regarded him to be “useless”.

A rather striking pair of cosplayers with Silverx1307 as Ritsu and Ryuuseiki as Takano! I’ll admit, I wouldn’t mind having Takano as my manga editor, even if he is a little mean. Thanks to Lilibeth for sending this in!

Sekai-Ichi Hatsukoi: Yukina Kou

Source: Aoyu3319 on World Cosplay

A 21-year-old store clerk, Yukina Kou is in charge of the Shoujo Manga section at Marimo Books. He is very sociable with his customers, and is considered to be a “Prince” among his female admirers. Yukina was aware that Kisa Shota came to the bookstore often to watch him work, but when he found out that Kisa is the editor of all of his favorite works, Yukina began to develop feelings for him as well.

Another amazing cosplay by Aoyu3319! I think I could easily become one of his (wait, “her”!) admirers too. And is that a volume of Sekai-Ichi Hatsukoi he’s holding? Thanks again to Finnie for sending this in!
