Marika's Love Meter Malfunction
Oshimeter
Synopsis
Rather than man up and actually confess to his childhood friend Marika, Kanata Kitami does something deeply relatable: he wishes on a shooting star because he's too chickenshit to do it. Except the wish actually works, and now he can see love meters floating above people's heads, like he's living inside a dating sim. Cool power, right? There's just one problem: when he checks Marika's meter, it hasn't just bottomed out. It's broken. Like, plummeted-past-zero-into-the-abyss broken. Which makes no sense, because this girl is nothing but sweet to him every single day. So either his new ability is busted, or Marika is hiding something way more complicated than a simple crush or lack thereof. That gap between what he sees on the meter and how she actually treats him is where all the comedy and tension lives. This upcoming TV series from Studio LEO, based on a web manga, leans into that romantic confusion with a game-mechanic twist that keeps things fresh. The vibe lands somewhere between the mind games of Kaguya-sama: Love is War and the constant romantic misreads of Gamers!, with a little bit of Oresuki's "nothing is what it seems" energy mixed in. If you're into childhood-friend romances that actually mess with the formula instead of playing it straight, this one's worth keeping on your radar for 2026.

The episode begins just like how an average romance anime, featuring a new transfer student who likes Kanata. However, this one is quite different, as the transfer student is not a girl, but a boy, who is a childhood friend of Kanata, who acts like a cute girl, which consequently makes Marika jealous. Overall, this episode is a solid 8/10 , because of both the unexpected plot twist and the fan service provided at the end.
Nice
That Hannya mask drooling purple slime in the middle of class was not what I expected and Marika is trying so hard to be cool but her inner demon is totally taking over
Kanata really went for that dunk and Marika just stood there like a statue while her meter turned into a demon. That Hannya mask was terrifying and so funny at the same time
I lost it when Marika started having that wild apron daydream during the lunch scene. My girl is completely losing her mind and her love meter is literally punching Kanata in the face now
The way that meter turned into a drooling monster mask while she just stared him down was actually scary for the guy
I am still reeling from that Hannya mask manifestation and the way it literally sent Kanata flying across the roof just because he talked to Sayuki
That pink apron daydream felt like it belonged in a completely different show and it would be better if they stuck to the manga instead of adding weird fan service
My heart goes out to Kitami he looked so confused by everything Mikasa was doing
These affection meters are way too sensitive they just break all the time for anything
I seriously can't believe how fast Mikasa's meter shot up Kitami is so clueless it hurts to watch sometimes
Marika lurking in the shadows, her meter must be off the charts by now, it’s going to be wild.
