A Condition Called Love 1

Product Information

In fact, I would go as far as to say that he definitely feels he needs to *earn* her love, which is interesting because I haven't seen a shojo hero like that, but it also makes me really really sad for him.

And complain as you might about the intensity of the male love interest, you can’t say this manga didn’t deliver on the romance. Yes, Hananoi-kun is a bit impulsive, but the characters react in an honest way that makes them seem fully fleshed out. Hananoi's actions might seem like red flags at first, but the more you read the story, the more you start to realise why he acts the way he does.An anime television series adaptation produced by East Fish Studio is set to premiere in April 2024.

The protagonist Hotaru was sweet and naive whilst the male love interest Hananoi was intense to the extent that some of what he said could be considered creepy.

I found it very refreshing once again to follow a heroine who really has no idea what she should do as a girlfriend and thought it *amazing* in how Hananoi encouraged her to just be herself. And I would have been happy to read "Joe Goldberg: the Manga," if it had been advertised as such, but the lying synopsis earns this manga one star and I'm not continuing it.She seems to be coded as demiromantic and/or demisexual, but I doubt those terms will actually be explored in this particular story.

Long story short, there's something seriously creepy about this book made worse by the fact that the author clearly thinks it's romantic. While this story is completely different then Ima Koi, I did find it similar in the sense that both our heroines are completely oblivious as to what to do in a relationship.

their communication is beyond amazing, I’m so tired of miscommunication in manga series when they extend the plot for a silly reason that would’ve been solved through talking ;-;. Comment s’épanouir émotionnellement quand vos parents donnent plus d’intérêt à des inconnus qu’à vous ? Hotaru is a great character, and I can completely understand her discomfort (and her friends' discomfort) at her lack of interest in romance, but rather than get involved with Hananoi, I wanted her to realize that maybe it just wasn't her thing. He hovers and eavesdrops when she's with her friends and then records information about her to use later. Hotaru is a 16-year-old high school first-year who has always been ambivalent about love, preferring instead to have a lively life with her family and friends.No, Hananoi clearly did have some issues as suggested by the glimpse of his home life that was shown, but mostly he just seemed like a very intense and devoted boyfriend.

She turns him down - having, again, ZERO interest in boys - but he shows up in front of school at the end of the day, waiting to walk her home, anyway. I've been where each of these characters have I guess and each time they go through something my instant thought is, "oh man, I've been there. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. So, there are a lot of red flags in this book that I'm hoping will lead to some character growth but could be left unquestioned and therefore creepy. If you paid a pound for every time the word love appeared in this manga you’d be broke by the end, even if you have a lot of spare change!Hotaru is a 16-year-old high school first year who has always been ambivalent about love, preferring instead to have a lively life with her family and friends. After she puts her umbrella over him in the snow out of kindness, he is determined to make her fall in love with him, but she isn't convinced she ever will fall in love. Un día lluvioso de invierno, Hotaru le prestó a Hananoi, un chico de la clase de al lado al que acababan de dar calabazas, su paraguas, y poco después este se le declaró, y ella decide darle una oportunidad. I won’t deny Hananoi is first portrayed as a control freak with heavy insecurities and that he feels creepy at first but maybe we shall keep in mind this is a shoujo, eh ? Obviously this is a fiction work, but it seems to stay away from typical over the top-ness of a lot of anime and manga that really made it enjoyable for someone like me, who can find that approach a bit much.
