Marika's Love Meter Malfunction
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 that it had broken and practically fallen all the way to hell. <em class=de-emphasized>(from manga)</em>
