A Condition Called Love 1

by Megumi Morino

A sweet new shojo romance manga from the creator of Wake Up, Sleeping Beauty! 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. So when she sees her schoolmate, Hananoi-kun, sitting in the snow after a messy, public breakup, she thinks nothing of offering to share her umbrella. But when he asks her out in the middle of her classroom the next day, she can't help but feel that her life is about to change in a big way!

Summary:

Hotaru is sixteen years old and has never been in love. That’s okay; she’s been fine with that. As somebody without a romantic past, Hotaru didn’t think twice about an act of kindness to somebody dealing with heartbreak.

She had no idea that something as simple as offering an umbrella to Hananoi-kun would change how he viewed her - or that it might kick off something larger than friendship between them.

Review:

I know I’ve said this before, but if you’re looking for a sweet and relaxing series, check out A Condition Called Love. It’s casual, it’s cute, and you don’t need to worry about becoming totally overtaken by the series.

I had a love/hate relationship with A Condition Called Love Vol. 1. Yeah, it’s cute. But if this were real life, there would be so many red flags telling this girl to run. So it’s probably not the best thing to romanticize, you know?

It gets better if you overlook that bit and look at it like it’s cute and naive puppy love (for both characters). It’s a slower-paced romance with relatively low stakes, so it’s suitable for a night of de-stressing.

Highlights:
YA Manga
Shojo
Slice-of-Life

Will I continue the series? Probably
