世界一初恋 ~小野寺律の場合9~ Sekaiichi Hatsukoi: Onodera Ritsu no Baai 9 by Shungiku Nakamura, 中村春菊

5.0

Onodera/Takano- Ondera collapses after working too hard (staying up all night studying manga). Takano explains to him that he can't make up several years at once- that he is doing fine. Onodera ends up grabbing him to keep him from leaving, surprising them both. Later Takano makes a pretty big love confession to Onodera, similar almost to a marriage proposal. We learn that he worked with Hatori on shounen manga previously and that a lover of Hatori's (who is bisexual/gay) had fallen for Takano. Despite Takano's rejection, the lover broke it off with Hatori who blamed Takano. Thus there is intense dislike/unresolved tension between the two.

Kisa/Yukina- Kisa has to go to a friend's wedding and gets a bit jealous at the attention Yukina receives from women. He tries to hide it, leading Yukina to initially think that Kisa doesn't care that much. Little fight, leads to making up, deeper love, yay!
