* “Love is not a probability” work summary *
-Synopsis-
Hazuki, a second-year university student, has had the special ability to see “love gauges” since childhood.
Hazuki is unable to connect deeply with other people because she is too concerned about the love gauge, which measures how much someone likes her just by looking at her.She has almost no friends and has given up on the idea that love is not for her.
One day, I met a mysterious young man, Ritsu, whose love gauge was “100%”…! I thought it was, but it turned out to be – (minus) 100%! ?
Despite being at the mercy of unprecedented numbers, Hazuki is drawn to Ritto’s mysterious charm…!
Why is Ritsu’s love gauge at “-100%” when they meet for the first time, and what caused Hazuki to realize her abilities… Hazuki’s clumsy and straightforward love affair begins in order to overturn her negative feelings, involving Kana, Hazuki’s only best friend, and Nagisa, the most handsome man on campus.

-Synopsis-
A manga “Shishishi” was posted on a certain site. A rumor spreads around the school that if you read it, you will be cursed.
When a friend tells Shion that there’s someone who looks a lot like you in this manga, she secretly reads it out of curiosity. However, unfortunate things happen one after another to people who read the manga, and in the end, even Shion goes missing.
The main character, Ryota, who is the older brother, was searching for clues to find his missing sister. One day, a package arrives at my home from Shion. Inside the baggage was a piece of paper with the mark drawn on the “Shrine” and “horrible things” related to Shion. Based on a few clues, Ryota and his friends visit the village that is the subject of the manga, where they become embroiled in even more abnormal situations.
