Marika’s Love Meter Malfunction Details
Rin Komugi writes and illustrates the Marika’s Love Meter Malfunction manga. Suiseisha has serialized the manga on various websites since April 2024. The publisher will release the manga’s print version in April. You can read the first chapter of the manga on ComicFesta for free (Japanese only).
Marika-chan no Koukando wa Bukkowareteiru follows Kanata Kitami, a dude who’s hopelessly in love with his childhood friend Marika Chitose. Unable to confess to her, he wishes upon a shooting star for a chance to garner her love. But instead of getting her love, Kanata-kun gains the ability to see people’s love meter! However, his new dating-game ability quickly shows him that Marika’s love meter is abysmally low! But how can that be the case? Marika always seems smitten with him! Could it be that something is wrong with her love meter?
