Akihiko Usami

Akihiko Usami (宇佐見 秋彦, Usami Akihiko) is a minor character in Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi. He is a prolific author.
== Overview==
Ritsu Onodera previously edited some of Akihiko's novels at Onodera Publishing, which Ritsu fondly recalls in flashback from time-to-time. Akihiko first appears briefly in such a flashback in the first episode.
In the second episode, Ritsu has a dream that the books he edited, all written by Akihiko, top the literature sales charts. The books are:
#The Box that Houses the Moon (月の宿る匣, Tsuki no Yadoru Hako)
#Nostalgia for the 25th Century (２５世紀ノスタルジャ, 25 Seiki Nosutaruja)
#All of Japan's Inverted Pandas in Pictures (全日本反転パンダ図鑑, Zen-Nihon Hanten Panda Zukan)
#Scarecrow (スケアクロウ, Sukeakurou)
As Ritsu celebrates the success in his dream, the novels change to shoujo manga volumes in his hands.
Akihiko attends the Marukawa Publishing New Year's Party, where he is briefly seen standing with Ryuichiro Isaka in Episode 6. This is his first non-flashback appearance in the series.
Akihiko is a supporting character in the season two episode Love is Without Reason, which is an adaptation of a Junjou Mistake story. He is a childhood friend of Isaka.
==Junjou Romantica==
Akihiko is a main character in the Junjou Romantica series, which takes place in the same world as Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi.
In addition to writing the highly respected type of literature that Ritsu previously worked on, Akihiko is a prolific author of boys-love novels which he writes under the alias Aikawa Yayoi. Akihiko is in a relationship with Misaki Takahashi, who inspires some of his writing.
