When I first read a thread debating whether 'Love Flops' came from a manga, I decided to piece the timeline together and it’s pretty straightforward: the series debuted as an original anime, so the creative spark started on-screen rather than on serialized comic pages. After the anime aired, like many original projects, it inspired secondary media — sometimes official manga adaptations, character books, or short comic strips published to ride the wave of interest. Those later comics are fun bonuses but not the narrative source. If you care about canonical origins, treat the anime as the primary text; the manga versions are adaptations or expansions. Personally, I enjoy both kinds of releases, because manga adaptations often focus on different beats or show extra jokes that didn’t make the episode cut, giving me fresh reasons to revisit the characters.
I got curious about this when my friend recommended 'Love Flops' for a goofy, slightly chaotic rom-com binge. To cut to the chase: 'Love Flops' is an original anime project rather than an adaptation of a pre-existing manga or light novel. The characters and plot were created for the anime first, so if you’re hunting for an older manga source to read the “original,” there isn’t one that predates the show.
That said, the anime's popularity often led to tie-in material after it aired. It's pretty common for original anime to spawn manga adaptations, four-panel comics, or spin-off webcomics afterwards, and 'Love Flops' followed that pattern to an extent — creators sometimes use those to expand scenes or deliver gag strips. If you want a different way to enjoy the story, hunting down any post-airing manga or official comic extras is worth it. Personally, I like seeing how adapted panels choose to represent the anime's visual gags, even if the anime is the true starting point for the series.
I've chatted with other fans and checked a few databases: 'Love Flops' was launched as an original anime, so there wasn't a manga that came before it. That's the important point — it didn't have a manga source that the show adapted. Later on, though, it's normal for franchises like this to get manga adaptations or promotional comics after the anime airs, which some fans collect. I like those follow-ups since they sometimes fill in small scenes or offer humorous bonus strips, but for the core story you should look to the anime first — that's where it all began and what hooked me in.
I dug into this because I prefer reading source material when I can, and with 'Love Flops' the trail points to it being an original anime idea. In other words, there was no pre-existing manga that the TV show adapted from. That doesn't mean print comics never touched the title — production committees often commission manga versions after an anime proves popular, aimed at fans who want to collect or read in a different format. So if someone mentions a 'Love Flops' manga, they're most likely talking about an adaptation or promotional comic released after the anime, not the original source. For me, that distinction matters since adaptations can add little scenes or change pacing, and I enjoy comparing the two formats to see what the artist keeps or emphasizes.

One moment I'm chasing after a rabbit and the next, I'm falling down a rabbit hole! What the heck?! This ain't Alice in Wonderland?! Though as I opened my eyes, I soon found out that I was no longer in my original body and that somehow I transmigrated into the light novel, A Fairytale Romance. And that isn't all, the character whose body I transmigrated into... is none other than the canon-fodder, stuck-up, arrogant, and selfish ojou-sama who was nothing more than a comic relief character, Maria Rosendrey. Life truly sucks...
The day I began working, I found out that the boyfriend I’d picked up off the street was actually a rich young man from the capital’s elite circle.
His fiancée sneered at me, “You’re nothing but a bit of fun for us when we’re bored.”
“You didn’t really think you were some kind of heroine here to save him, did you?”
I was humiliated, my lips trembling.
I couldn’t forgive myself—how could I have spent half of my father’s lifesaving money to help him? I even dropped out of school, working three jobs every day, foolishly treating him as the second most important person in my life.
Later, my father passed away, leaving me all alone, so I left that city. But who would have thought that the young rich man who had toyed with me would go mad, searching for me all over the world for the next five years?

I woke up inside a novel, and not even as an important character.
I became a pretty background extra in a smut novel.
My brother, however, was the only normal person in the entire story.
His character setting was the one man the soft, delicate heroine could never win over.
He was the cold, unattainable Prince Charming she could never conquer.
When the heroine cried and confessed her love, he was studying.
When she offered him her whole heart and body, he was busy starting a company.
When she spiraled into scandals and nightlife, he was already a billionaire, calm and untouchable.
I thought he would live a quiet, ascetic life forever.
Until one night, I walked in on him at midnight…
holding a piece of clothing I recognized all too well, murmuring a name over and over, a name so familiar that my scalp tingled.
When I'm taking Mom and Dad to experience the cable car ride, an infinite display of fireworks suddenly bursts from the bottom of the mountain. Soon, they form a sentence in the air.
"Our romance will never fade away, even if we die. Yvonne Shaw, my heart belongs to you always."
Right away, I realize that my husband, Henry Glover, has specifically prepared the fireworks display just to please his childhood sweetheart, Yvonne Shaw.
Under the powerful attacks of the fireworks, the cable lines begin to shake and tremble violently to the point they are about to snap.
My fingers tighten around my phone so much that they've turned white. I scream into the speaker, "Henry Glover, have you gone nuts? Stop it! Mom and Dad are still in the cable car!"
But he merely chortles in return. I can hear Yvonne's delicate voice egging him on in the background.
"Why should I stop? When Yvonne's parents were lying in the ICU and waiting for help three years ago, you screwed up their life-saving surgery despite the fact that you never failed a surgery before!
"Today, I want you to have a taste of what it feels like to lose your loved ones as well!"
After that, the bodyguards' responses echo from the other end of the line.
Henry orders, "Add another huge batch of fireworks and aim them at the cable car. Just keep firing at it!"
Yvonne's titters are like poisoned honey. She continues egging on Henry.
"You're amazing, darling! Make those two bastards turn to ash!"
The cable car sinks all of a sudden. Mom and Dad are so frightened that their complexions turn deathly pale.
With bloodshot eyes, I use all of my strength in roaring at my phone.
"Henry Glover, your own parents are the ones trapped inside the cable car right now!"
