There actually is a method to the madness, though—A Condition Called Love will be taking over the Brave Bang Bravern! programming slot on Japanese TV channel TBS.TBS Anime will also be participating in a spring quiz rally in Akasaka, the location of the TBS studios. Fans can test their knowledge of different shows and receive themed prizes. Among the prizes up for grabs will be a sticker featuring this visual. The event kicks off April 8.
A Condition Called Love is being directed by Tomoe Makino (Aharen-san wa Hakarenai) at East Fish Studio, with series composition by Hitomi Amamiya (Chillin’ in My 30s after Getting Fired from the Demon King’s Army), character designs by Akiko Sato (TRIGUN STAMPEDE) and music by yamazo (The Legendary Hero is Dead!).Kodansha USA publishes the manga’s official English version. Crunchyroll will stream the series as part of its spring anime lineup, and describes it:
Hotaru Hinase is a first-year in high school that has a great family and wonderful friends, but not much luck when it comes to romance.
One day, she happens to see the hot boy from the class next door, Hananoi, get dumped. Seeing Hananoi standing in the middle of a park all alone, Hotaru decides to hand him an umbrella.
That little act causes Hananoi to ask her out soon after.
What does love even mean? What does it mean to be in love? Hotaru is flustered at suddenly being asked out by Hananoi, who has an endless amount of love for the person he loves and wants to do everything he can for them.
This is a story about first love between a girl who doesn’t understand romantic love and a boy that may be a bit too heavy-handed when it comes to love.
