The wraparound band on the 24th volume of Shungiku Nakamura's Junjou Romantica manga revealed a new anime for its spin-off Sekaiichi Hatsukoi: Onodera Ritsu no Baai on Friday. The new anime, titled Sekaiichi Hatsukoi: Propose-hen, celebrates the fifth anniversary of Emerald, the magazine where the manga currently runs.

Synopsis
When Ritsu Onodera changes jobs, looking for a fresh start, he's not exactly thrilled when his new boss turns out to be his old flame. Ritsu's determined to leave all that in the past—but how can he when his boss is just as determined that they have a future?

Tired of accusations that family connections got him his current position, Ritsu Onodera quits his job as an editor at his father's company and transfers to Marukawa Publishing. Once there, he is assigned to the shojo manga editorial department—something he has no interest in and no experience with! Having sworn he'd never fall in love again, the last thing he wants to do is work on love stories. To make matters worse, it turns out that his overbearing boss, Masamune Takano, is actually his first love from high school! (Source: SuBLime)

Nakamura originally serialized the boys' love manga in The Ruby magazine in 2006, which transferred to Asuka Ciel in 2009. Kadokawa launched Emerald in late 2014, the real-life version of the magazine from Sekaiichi Hatsukoi, where both the manga and the main series Junjou Romantica subsequently switched. The 14th compiled volume went on sale on May 1.

Studio Deen produced two television anime seasons in Spring and Fall 2011. The fifth and sixth manga volumes bundled two original video anime episodes in March and September 2011, respectively. The Sekaiichi Hatsukoi: Yokozawa Takafumi no Baai anime film opened in Japan in March 2014.

VIZ Media licensed the manga under its SuBLime imprint in 2014 and published the 12th volume on April 9. Funimation licensed the anime series in 2016 and shipped both seasons and the original video episodes on a DVD volume in March 2017.

Omg didnt expecting this, so its basically sekaiichi hatsukoi season 3?? or just ova?? I hope they use the same OST from season 1/2 because its the only thing that keep me watching the show lol or they should rehire the same composer, love the vibe and the mood of the show but yeah the re-use 'trope' from this series can be annoying, the ost and the relaxing pace saved it tho.

Yesterday I was in a shock but in a good way when saw the news by an website. This is good chance to see more about Nakamura work's comes to life again, I really love her story's and of course the tsundere characters so much Nevertheless I was waiting for Junjou Romantic instead of this one, but I love the second couples from this spinoff too! I really hope they don't change the previously vibes and love substance's of this show in the previous seasons.

FINALLY. I am checking once every 3, 4 months for YEARS now, just to see if another 'Onodera no baai' is out. I don't care for other couples, but Ritsu/Takano I really like. And 3rd part anime of 'Worlds greatest love' seems like GREAT way to efford my patient checking for updates. <3
As I REALLY hope, I will stay to see a day 0 of "Ritsu in process of falling in love". <3

I can't believe! I'm so happy to see those two love birds have come this far, I miss Nakamura-sensei works animated. It's been ages and the same design, hoping it's Deen again.

A theatrical screening with CD releases in February means Propose-hen is most likely OVA or (short) movie and not a 3rd season. Happy for Kita, he gets to sing one more Sekaiichi theme song after all these years. I'm so looking forward.
