The story
What it's about
Now I can see how much my crush likes me. I lack the courage to confess to my childhood friend, Marika. One day, I make a strong wish upon a shooting star: To read someone's feelings like in a dating sim. The very next day, much to my surprise, that wish came true…?! Lovemeters now appear over the girls in my class. Confused by this surreal sight, I check Marika's, only to find her meter's plummeted to the rotten depths of hell...?! Marika, if you hate me, then why were you always so kind...? What are Marika's hidden true feelings? Does she really hate me, or...?!
