you know… when i started a condition called love i thought for sure i would relate to hotaru the most (the whole never been in love/not sure if she can fall in love thing; we share a birthday, it was fate!), but 10 volumes in i’ve come to the conclusion that i’m significantly more like hananoi orz

#i’m being called out for things i wasn’t expecting to be called out for #he’s much more patient than me though #i do have a tendency to get obsessed with (sweeter‚ kinder) people #but when my obsession is not returned i get much more viscous #he gets jealous too but i think i’m worse #on that note i do appreciate how grounded the series is #in a typical shoujo manga i would expect a comically melodramatic backstory to be the catalyst for his behaviour #which would make me feel worse for not having any trauma to explain my shitty behaviour #but this works #yes‚ his parents neglected him‚ but they didn’t abandon him for good #they write‚ they visit‚ he had an attentive guardian #my situation was still not as extreme #(though i think my perfect older sister induced inferiority complex evens the odds a little)#but this makes sense to me‚ this i can relate to….#hahhhhhhhh usually i lose interest in romances once the pining stage is over #but despite not having a pining stage this fucking manga has me in a chokehold #howling from the shadow realm
