''Sekaikei'' (''sekai'' meaning "world", and ''kei'' meaning "type") is a Japanese term that is not clearly defined, spread primarily through the Internet but with some professional interest (there's even been [https://web.archive.org/web/20131112014818/http://asian.la.psu.edu/mapping/EVENTS/Entries/2009/4/1_Entry_1.html academic lectures]). The simple definition of a Sekaikei story is there is a male character and a female character and their relationship is the sole driving force of the events.
The difficulty of putting the phrase into trope terms is that it is fairly controversial amongst anime fans and quite frankly ill defined. It is "World type"- it's not quite so much the character relationships, not so much the plot but more the perspective of the world that comes out of such a story.
