Quotes from Sekaiichi Hatsukoi: A Boys Love Story, Volume 1

“For you it's not a matter of can or can't do. Once you say you're going to do something, you do everything to make it happen. That's why I wasn't worried. I've always liked that about you.

- Takano to Onodera”
― Shungiku Nakamura, quote from Sekaiichi Hatsukoi: A Boys Love Story, Volume 1

“If I give up now, nothing will have changed. -Onodera Ritsu”
― Shungiku Nakamura, quote from Sekaiichi Hatsukoi: A Boys Love Story, Volume 1

“Maybe the reason I believe reality is crueler...
... is because I've never really loved?
There was a time when I believed that...
..."Hard work will pay off." or "Your feelings will always reach them."
I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse...
...that I found out that that's a myth.
What should I do...
If that's what it means to become an adult,
it's not necessarily unfortunate, but really mundane.
But it's not like I'm being negative,
I just turned my back and I am moving forward...
-Onodera Ritsu”
― Shungiku Nakamura, quote from Sekaiichi Hatsukoi: A Boys Love Story, Volume 1

“How many people do you think get to do the thing they love for work? -Takano Masamune to Onodera Ritsu”
― Shungiku Nakamura, quote from Sekaiichi Hatsukoi: A Boys Love Story, Volume 1

“I tried hard. I gave it my best.'
That's the enthusiasm we don't need, the sort that doesn't produce results. The more you're cornered, the more important it is...
...to make your decisions based on reality and not your personal feelings.

- Takano to Onodera”
― Shungiku Nakamura, quote from Sekaiichi Hatsukoi: A Boys Love Story, Volume 1

“Por otro lado, sé que solo es un manga, pero ¿cómo pueden obtener la felicidad tan fácil?

¿Es la razón por la que creo que la realidad es tan dura, porque nunca he estado en una verdadera relación?

Yo solía creer en dichos como "Serás recompensado con el tiempo" o "Algún día tus sentimientos serán correspondidos" ¿Debo de estar contento de saber que sólo son engaños, no?

Si eso es lo que significa ser un adulto, supongo que no es malo, pero es terriblemente deprimente. Por otra parte, no es como si fuese pesimista o algo así. Solo sigo avanzando sin mirar atrás.”
― Shungiku Nakamura, quote from Sekaiichi Hatsukoi: A Boys Love Story, Volume 1

“―No importaba cuanto trataba de mantener una relación, nunca me olvidé de ti. Por esa razón, haré que me digas que me amas una vez más.”
― Shungiku Nakamura, quote from Sekaiichi Hatsukoi: A Boys Love Story, Volume 1

“He laced his fingers through mine and lifted my hand to his lips. I had gloves on, but he kissed exactly where I wore his ring.

“Why are you so sweet?” I asked, my voice small. My heart beat rapidly, and every star peeping through the clouds seemed to be shining just for me.

“I don’t think I’m that sweet. I mean, I just told you to be quiet. That’s one step away from asking you to wash my laundry and make me a sandwich.”

“You know what I mean.”

Seth pressed another kiss to my forehead. “I’m sweet because you make it easy to be sweet.”

About BookQuoters

BookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.

We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.

Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
