Manga artist Komugi started the romcom manga in April 2024 on the ComicFesta website, and Suiseisha will begin releasing the manga in print next year. The manga’s first and second tankoubon volumes are scheduled for release on April 17th, 2026.
WWWave Corporation’s Coolmic platform publishes the manga chapters digitally in English under the name Marika’s Love Meter Malfunction. It describes the manga story below:
“Confessing to my childhood friend Marika was impossible for someone as unpopular as me. So, I did what any desperate boy would do—I wished upon a shooting star! When I woke up, that dream had come true?! I could see a love meter for people, just like in a love simulation game. Once I realized this was real and not a dream I went straight to see Marika. Her love meter was so low it had broken and practically fallen all the way to hell! If she hated me so much why was she so nice?! Is this how she really felt or…?!”
