A Condition Called Love volume 5 cover artwork featuring the main characters holding one another.

Summary Since its debut, A Condition Called Love on Crunchyroll has been doing almost everything except for playing it safe, which is partly why so many shojo fans are divided by the controversy surrounding the series, but it was especially risky when the series decided to have Saki and Hotaru actually kiss in the episode before the season finale.

A major appeal for many romance fans is the thrill of the chase, and the coveted first kiss is the ultimate goal, even more so than the act of consummation. Reaching that goal too early can negatively impact the anticipation. Of course, a well-crafted romance can generate just as much hype for the journey that follows, but sometimes that "magic" can feel lost, and A Condition Called Love could have, at the very least, just ended on a lower note. Luckily, that didn't happen at all.

The second reason lies in that girl's identity – Hotaru. This is meaningful on so many levels. Besides the obvious connection between this girl and Saki's current girlfriend, the first level is that this act of identification is a moment that the series has been foreshadowing for quite some time. There were a handful of moments referencing the fact that Saki had actually met Hotaru before, and that she just didn't remember. This memory is that moment.
