He wants to confess his love to his childhood friend Marika, but finds it impossible. In desperation, he does something desperate: he begs a shooting star.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A miracle happened when he woke up. His dream came true, but in an unexpected way. She now had the ability to see other people's \u201clove meters\u201d or level of affection, just like the feature in the <em>game<\/em> dating simulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Realizing that this wasn't just a dream, he went straight to Marika to see how much he felt. However, the reality he faced was confusing. Marika's love meter was so low that it was described as \u201cbroken\u201d and falling to the level of hell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This contradicts Marika's always sweet and kind attitude towards him. The main conflict of the story is Kanata's confusion: does Marika actually hate him that much, or is there another meaning behind the broken meter?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"TV\u30a2\u30cb\u30e1\u300e\u8309\u8389\u82b1\u3061\u3083\u3093\u306e\u597d\u611f\u5ea6\u306f\u3076\u3063\u58ca\u308c\u3066\u3044\u308b\u300fPV\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sQiHi1aFwFc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1130\" src=\"https:\/\/playeatsleep.fun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HBV4HsTaAAAzuKm.webp\" alt=\"Marika's Love Meter Malfunction (Studio Leo)\" class=\"wp-image-16902\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9\u5c0f\u9ea6\u308a\u3093\uff0fSuiseisha Inc.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Daftar_Cast_dan_Staff_Produksi\"><\/span>List of Cast and Production Staff<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This anime features a lineup of voice actors who are familiar to anime fans.
