On March 24, 2025, the May issue of Kodansha's Monthly Dessert magazine published the 69th chapter of Megumi Morino's A Condition Called Love manga and announced that the manga will end in three more chapters. However, before that, the manga is set to go on a break in the next issue, which is slated to be released on April 24, 2025.

Following that, Megumi Morino's A Condition Called Love will publish three more chapters and will end with chapter 72. In addition to the magazine's announcement, Megumi Morino has given an update on the manga's future on their official X account. Megumi Morino's post in Japanese, when translated into English, reads as follows:

"Chapter 69 of 'Hananoi-kun to Koi no Yamai' is in the May issue of Dessert, which went on sale today. I'm relieved to have finally made it this far. Volume 17, scheduled for release in May, will include up to this chapter. There are only three chapters left of the main story, but I'll tell you in advance that I'm planning on drawing a lot of spinoffs, so please bear with me a little longer."

In other words, once Megumi Morino completes A Condition Called Love manga, fans can look forward to the spin-off stories revolving around the characters from the main narrative. Although the author hasn't explicitly revealed the nature of those spin-offs, it's certainly something fans can look forward to.

Notably, the series gained popularity in the mainstream media following its anime adaptation under East Fish Studio's production. The series aired 12 episodes from April 2024 to June 2024. Crunchyroll streamed the episodes of the rom-com anime as they aired in Japan.

A Condition Called Love manga centers around Hinase Hotaru, a 16-year-old high school freshman student, who has always been ambivalent when it comes to love. Although she doesn't understand the complex emotions of love, everything changes when she encounters Hananoi Saki on a snowy day.

Interestingly, Hotaru's chance encounter with Hananoi happens after the latter's breakup. Seeing Hananoi sitting alone on a snowy day, Hotaru extends her umbrella toward him. The next day, she's put in an awkward situation as Hananoi asks her out in the middle of her classroom. As such, A Condition Called Love manga highlights Hananoi and Hotaru's unique love story.
