Summarize
The first episode of A Condition Called Love begins with Hinase at a cafe with her friend Hibiki Asami, where they witness Saki Hanahoi breaking up with his girlfriend.
Later, Hinase spots Saki sitting alone in the snow and gives him her umbrella out of concern. The next day, Saki asked her out in front of the whole class.
Later, Hinase borrowed a clip from one of her friends but lost it while running in the field. When Saki learned of this, he offered to search the fields with her, but they were unable to do so due to the heavy snowfall.
That evening, Saki calls Hinase to ask what the hairpin looks like, showing that he's still looking for it despite the snow.
Hinase runs to the schoolyard and scolds him for being reckless, but she is touched by his kindness and effort.
The next day, Saki waits for Hinase after school and returns the hairpin to her, explaining that he was looking for it after the snow melted.
Hinase, struggling with the complexities of love and her own emotions, notices a change in her heart after spending time with Saki and witnessing his efforts.
In the end, she accepts his proposal, much to the delight of Saki, who happily hugs her in front of everyone.
