Description
Mizuki's life has fallen apart. An obsessive stalker has been leaving threatening messages in her mailbox, and the relentless harassment has driven her boyfriend to break up with her. Desperate for a fresh start, she decides to move out of her apartment. But before she can leave, a handsome young man named Natsume moves in next door. He bears a striking resemblance to her ex, and Mizuki wonders if he might be able to protect her from the stalker. However, she soon learns that Natsume is apparently in love with her friend, complicating any potential romantic development. The story follows Mizuki as she navigates the danger of her stalker and the confusing feelings stirred up by her new neighbor.

Love Stalking! is a single-volume manga that collects four short stories by Kanae Hazuki. The title story sets the tone with a tense romantic thriller premise. The second story, Jumping to the Wrong Conclusion, centers on Noe, a girl known for her cute appearance who is popular with boys who only see her as a friend. Underneath that exterior is a tomboy who desperately wants a real boyfriend. When she finally develops feelings for Touji-kun, she discovers he already has a girlfriend. The third story, End of Summer, follows Yuki, a high school student overwhelmed by her parents' constant pressure to study. Feeling suffocated, she runs away from home at the start of summer, leaving a note that she will return by the next term. She ends up living with a classmate and his older brother for a few weeks, experiencing a brief escape from her routine. The final story, Doing the 180, features Wakana, whose long-distance boyfriend Nobuyuki misses her so much that he transfers to her school and moves nearby. Wakana is overjoyed but becomes so flustered and embarrassed by his sudden presence that she inadvertently acts cold and dismissive, conveying the opposite of her true feelings. Each story explores different facets of young love, miscommunication, and the complicated emotions that arise in romantic and personal crises.
