World's Greatest First Love, Vol. 18

World's Greatest First Love, Vol. 18 by Shungiku Nakamura offers a tale of romantic complexity amidst the demanding world of manga editing.

A fresh start turns sour after a manga editor's new boss turns out to be his ill-fated first love! 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?

Manga editor Ritsu Onodera has just been assigned a new artist by his bossy editor in chief—and first love—Masamune Takano. The newbie’s “go get ’em” attitude sweeps Ritsu away, but before he knows it, he’s in way over his head! He could turn to Takano for help, but as Ritsu’s complicated feelings of admiration, envy, and inferiority keep getting in the way, even Takano finds himself running out of patience!
