== Synopsis ==
Manga editor Ritsu Onodera is still burning the candle at both ends for Marukawa Publishing’s Emerald shojo magazine and his grueling boss—and first love!—Masamune Takano. After Ritsu’s old high school friend Nao professes his love for him, Ritsu realizes he can no longer deny his feelings for Takano. But when Takano finds out that Ritsu still has hang-ups over their past, he flips, suggesting a way to help him get over it once and for all…a friends-with-benefits relationship?!https://www.sublimemanga.com/read/manga/worlds-greatest-first-love-14/product/818
== Plot ==
In "The Case of Ritsu Onodera No.27", a mangaka who Ritsu manages, Yukina Mutou, has moved to Ritsu's high school hometown, and it brings back memories of walking behind Masamune to high school. As Ritsu leaves to pick up the manuscript from Mutou, Takano gives Ritsu the key to his apartment. Ritsu then runs into Nao who insists on going with him to see Ritsu's old high school. Nao confesses to Ritsu that he likes him, and he hopes that they can be together in the future, and he departs. Ritsu considers his relationship with Takano. When he gets back to Marukawa, he learns that Takano's gone home for the day, then he gets a call from Takano who's locked out of his apartment because he gave his key to Ritsu, plus he's getting sick. Ritsu runs from the station to Takano's apartment, and they talk about Nao, and Takano correctly guesses that Nao confessed. Takano loses his composure and tells Ritsu that he loves him again, and they have sex as Ritsu considers his feelings. The next morning, Ritsu has apparently caught Takano's cold. 36 days until Ritsu falls (completely) in love.
In "The Case of Ritsu Onodera No.28", Ritsu is in denial about having a cold and is working overtime to prepare an art exhibit at Marimo Books for Mutou. Takano asks if he still has the key to his place and reminds him that he can come over any time, and Takano heads home. Nao calls and begs Ritsu to let him crash at his place again, but Ritsu turns him down. Nao asks if this has to do with Saga and questions their relationship. He repeats that he can make Ritsu happy and that he loves him. Ritsu gets the art exhibit ready and runs into Takano at the train station on their way home, and they discuss Mutou doing an autograph session. It begins raining as they walk back to their apartment building, and Takano covers Ritsu with his jacket because Ritsu is still fighting his cold. They run into Nao who's heading out to do work and he tells Takano not to bother Ritsu. In Takano's apartment, Takano gets forceful, and Ritsu wakes up the next morning with bruises on his wrists. Takano isn't there but has left food and note. Ritsu considers taking the day off because he can't face Takano, but he gets texts from Hatori and Kisa and he realizes he needs to go in. 26 days until Ritsu falls (completely) in love.
“The Case of Ritsu Onodera No.28.5” opens with Ritsu having received a package of vegetables from his mother, a note on them saying they were from his uncle. Ritsu ends up making curry with these vegetables, and thinks back to Valentine’s Day, when he made curry for Takano, something that occurred in the Volume 9 Special Edition Booklet. In the context of this extra, Takano has been on a business trip, so he calls Ritsu to tell him he’s almost back. During the call, Ritsu offers him some of the vegetables he received, and invites him over for curry.
In “The Case of Kou Yukina No.4,” Kou Yukina is working on his graduation piece. Professor Yamada shows up to give him some advice, and taking into account that Yukina wants to go to graduate school he tells him that he has to clear his mind. After this, on Christmas Eve, Yukina requests to stop seeing Shouta Kisa, just until he’s able to get the results of his grad school exams in mid-February. Kisa complies, but Yukina is still quite troubled. He works hard on his piece in all the alone time he has, and is quite happy to receive a good luck charm from Kisa in the mail with a pleasant note attached wishing him luck on his exams. The instant Yukina receives his exam results, he bolts up to Kisa as he’s leaving the workplace with Ritsu and shouts about how he passed. Yukina is keen to make up for all the events that they missed with each other.
