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

If I give up now, nothing will have changed. -Onodera Ritsu

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

How many people do you think get to do the thing they love for work? -Takano Masamune to Onodera Ritsu

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

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.

―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.
