I Want To End This Love Game (Aishiteru Game o Owarasetai) is based on the manga by Yuki Domoto. Viz Media describes the manga’s synopsis as such:
After leaving behind his image as a quiet nerd, Yukiya’s ready to break hearts and take names with the ultimate high school glow-up. Well, he’s really just got one girl in his sights—his best friend, Miku! Using her favorite shojo manga as his weapon, he’s prepared to pin her to the wall and gaze at her with the perfect smolder! Will his advances get her heart racing? Or will Yukiya end up making a fool of himself?
The manga began in Shogakukan’s Sunday Webry in 2021 and has seven volumes as of 2025.
