Things I hope the next chapters would cover:
SUP EVERYONE, (SPOILER ALERT) TAKANO AND ONODERA ARE OFFICIALLY DATING AND THAT MADE ME THINK:
There are some loose threads I hope get covered when Takano and Onodera's dating arc starts:
I am kind of surprised that we as a fandom just kind of glossed over this line. Like Takano never really spoke about his parents, but we know that he has a bad relationship with both of them. It is hinted that he is still in touch with his mother. But we dont really know how involved she is. Makes me wonder if this is going to be a plot later. Like if we ever see his real father.
RITSU'S RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS MUM
Another plot sekaiichi hatsukoi frequently talks about is Ritsu's relationship with his mum, while he is shown to care about her, he hardly ever talks to her on the phone. Like how An says "he is always short on the phone", or he rarely visits home. This also could be a potential plot later.
People like to say that Takano is a very mysterious character because he is the most poker faced. To which I say nope, I think Ritsu's father is the most mysterious guy. Even though Ritsu is the heir, his father has not yet made an appearence to talk to him about it, instead he interfered with his son's application in marukawa, and that ended up with Onodera in Marukawa. What if he already knew about Onodera and takano?? I hope this is mentioned in later chapters.
Another one of the biggest plot points in sekaiichi hatsukoi is Ritsu's position in the publishing world. Because Ritsu is uncertain whether he will have to become the heir to Onodera publishing. In the future it is possible that Onodera/or his parents will come to a decision.
HAITANI REAPPEARENCE AS A LOVE RIVAL?
I am not gonna lie, Haitani scares the crap out of me, I mean in sekaiichi hatsukoi every character has a good and bad side. But Haitani is confusing, now I could label him as evil, but he is not really evil (yet), but I can see him taking more of an antagonistic role if he was serious about being Onodera's love rival. AND THAT scares the crap out of me. Not that takano will fall for him, but he will do something to onodera or both of them.
Onodera has not yet told Takano about the fact that Mutou sensei and her spouse met after ten years, and her wedding will perhaps be a turning point in their established relationship.
WILL FUSHIJIRO PLAY A BIGGER PART ?
So far we dont know much about Fushijiro except she is a exceptional mangaka, who tends to overwork herself and others around her. Her stories are shown to be unique, and I think she will be one of the people who will indirectly help ritsu become a sucessful editor.
PERMANENT EMPLOYEE AND TALK WITH HIS FATHER
After Ritsu found out he is temprory worker, he is given an oppurtunity to do a test to become Marukawa's permanent employee. In that Takano mentions that he has to talk to his dad about it one day. Which means there is a potenial that we will see both Ritsu's attempt at being a permanent employee and perhaps an eventual meet between Ritsu's father and Takano.
