Hananoi-kun to Koi no Yamai

Hotaru Hinase is a pragmatist through and through. Content with her single life, she navigates high school with a simple philosophy: if it doesn't directly involve her, it's not her problem. But when she makes a small, selfless gesture towards the school's resident heartthrob, Hananoi-kun, her carefully constructed world of independence is suddenly upended. Hananoi-kun, known for his good looks and a string of broken hearts, makes a bold and unexpected move: he asks Hotaru to be his girlfriend. What starts as a seemingly ridiculous proposition quickly evolves into a surprisingly complex and endearing journey, forcing Hotaru to confront her preconceived notions about love, relationships, and perhaps, even herself.
