A Condition Called Love Anime Plot
At sixteen years old, Hotaru is full of life and energy as she begins her freshman year of high school. She has always been quite detached from things of the heart, preferring to find happiness in the happy times spent with her loved ones.
In this setting, an unusual incident takes place that changes the course of her life irrevocably. After witnessing her mysterious classmate Hananoi-kun lying in the snow after a stormy and widely publicized breakup, Hotaru feels compelled to do something altruistic—offer him shelter from the snow under her umbrella.
She has no idea that this little act of compassion would set in motion a chain reaction of amazing occurrences that would tie their lives together in such a complex web.
The walls of Hotaru’s familiar classroom bore witness to an unexpected event only one day after their unexpected encounter: Hananoi-kun mustered the confidence to reveal his intention to pursue a love connection with her, motivated by an obvious impulse. This shocking news sends Hotaru into a tailspin of emotions—a storm of contradictory ideas and feelings that swirl around her.
An incontestable presence, nipping at the edges of her awareness, is the imminent metamorphosis, which encompasses not only her being but also the complex web of her everyday life. Her once-familiar route suddenly splits in two, opening her to a thrilling new world to explore.
