A Condition Called Love 9

A Condition Called Love 9 by Megumi Morino explores an unexpected romantic journey forged through an act of kindness. Hotaru, a 16-year-old high school first year, has never felt the need for a boyfriend. She prefers the vibrancy of life with her family and friends instead of romantic entanglements.

However, everything begins to change when she encounters her schoolmate, Hananoi-kun, sitting alone in the snow after a messy and public breakup. Without much thought, Hotaru offers to share her umbrella, a seemingly small gesture of compassion.

To her surprise, Hananoi-kun proposes to her the very next day in front of their classmates. Despite her ambivalence about love, this unexpected proposition makes Hotaru realize that her life might be about to change in significant ways.

This sweet new shojo romance manga from the creator of Wake Up, Sleeping Beauty captures the nuances of youthful emotions and the magic of unexpected connections.
