Marika’s Love Meter Malfunction (Marika-chan no Koukando wa Bukkowareiru) is an AnimeFesta Original title based on the manga by Rin Komugi. Coolmic describes the manga’s synopsis as such:
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…?!
The manga is available online on ComicFesta and is getting physical volumes from Suiseisha.
