A Condition Called Love is one of those sweet, slightly awkward high school romances that sneaks up on you emotionally. Season 1 is currently rolling out new episodes every week on Crunchyroll, and Episode 8 (“My First Pet”) is now available in Japanese with English subtitles. If you’ve fallen in love with Hotaru and Hananoi and you’re watching dubbed instead of subbed, you’re probably wondering: when will the English dub of Episode 7 (“My First Confession”) and Episode 8 (“My First Pet”) be available to stream?

Let’s walk through the release timing for the English dub, how the streaming schedule works, how to watch, and what we know about more episodes of A Condition Called Love going forward.

The Basics: A Condition Called Love

A Condition Called Love follows the slow-blooming relationship between Hotaru Hinase and Saki Hananoi. Hotaru is kind, grounded, and very open about the fact that romantic love has just… never really been her thing. She cares about her friends. She loves being with family. But she’s never truly felt “in love,” and she doesn’t pretend otherwise to make anyone comfortable.

That changes when she shows basic kindness to Hananoi after his girlfriend breaks up with him in a pretty brutal way. She offers him emotional support in that moment — and that tiny bit of warmth hits him like a truck. Hananoi, who’s used to people dumping him and “choosing someone else,” latches on fast. He’s honest about wanting her. He’s a little intense about it, honestly. But he also promises to respect her boundaries and help her understand what love might feel like, instead of pressuring her to hurry up and feel it.

What makes this series stand out is that both characters are coming in with insecurity. Hotaru is afraid she can’t return feelings properly, and she doesn’t want to hurt someone by pretending. Hananoi is quietly terrified that no one will ever actually choose him and stay. So instead of a typical rom-com where two people fall headfirst on day one, A Condition Called Love is about watching them learn each other. It’s tender, it’s awkward, and it feels very real for teen first love.

Hotaru is very clear with Hananoi: she doesn’t fully understand “being in love,” and she’s scared to make promises she can’t emotionally back up yet. Hananoi’s response is basically, “Okay. Then I’ll wait, and I’ll show you who I am.” That dynamic — patient but nervous, soft but honest — is what’s hooked so many people on this show.

A Condition Called Love Episode 7 English Dub Release Date

New subbed episodes of A Condition Called Love air weekly on Thursdays. The English dub version is following behind the sub by about two weeks.

That pacing means the English dub of Episode 7 (“My First Confession”) is expected to be available for streaming on May 30. Episode 7 is an important turning point because it deals with honesty. Feelings get called out, and “Do you actually like me?” stops being a hypothetical question. If you’re watching dubbed only, Episode 7 is where things start getting emotionally louder.

A Condition Called Love Episode 8 English Dub Release Date

Following that same dub delay pattern, Episode 8 (“My First Pet”) is expected to arrive the following Thursday, on June 6. Episode 8 continues to build on the idea of care, trust, and attachment — the whole “what does it mean to belong to someone emotionally, and is that scary or comforting?” thread that this show does really well.

The dub release is trailing the subbed release instead of dropping at the exact same time, which is super normal for romance anime. It just means the dub actors are catching up week by week instead of being recorded and released alongside the original Japanese broadcast in real time.

A Condition Called Love English Dub Schedule (Season 1)

Here’s the expected rollout for the remaining English dubbed episodes of Season 1, using that two-week offset between sub and dub:

• Episode 7 (Dub): “My First Confession” — May 30
• Episode 8 (Dub): “My First Pet” — June 6
• Episode 9 (Dub): June 13
• Episode 10 (Dub): June 20
• Episode 11 (Dub): June 27
• Episode 12 (Dub): July 4
  Note: Because July 4 is a U.S. holiday, there’s always a tiny chance of a small delay. If that happens, expect Episode 12’s dub to land around July 11 instead. This does happen sometimes with dubs around holiday weeks.

The short version: if you’re watching dubbed only, you’re going to get all of Season 1. You’re just about two episodes behind the sub viewers at any given moment.

How To Stream A Condition Called Love

If you’re brand new to the series, you have options. A Condition Called Love is streaming on Crunchyroll with both English subtitles and (on a slight delay) English dub. You can sign up and start watching the available episodes right now, and you don’t have to wait until the entire season finishes airing.

Don’t have Crunchyroll yet? You can also get a free trial to Crunchyroll through Amazon and binge what’s already out in either sub or dub. That’s usually the easiest way for newer viewers to jump in without committing up front to another subscription, especially if you’re only planning to watch this one show for now.

Here’s the official trailer if you haven’t watched yet and want to feel feelings in under two minutes:

Is A Condition Called Love Getting a Season 2?

Here’s where things get a little bittersweet.

Right now, only one 12-episode season was ordered for production. That’s the run we’re watching. As of now, there hasn’t been an official confirmation of a Season 2 order, which is frustrating for fans because this show exploded in popularity with romance watchers who love sincere, emotionally vulnerable characters instead of over-the-top drama.

It’s not unusual for shoujo romance anime to get a single “cour” (one season, around 12 episodes) to promote the manga and then pause to “wait and see.” So no, it doesn’t automatically mean we’ll never get more. It just means there’s no confirmed continuation yet beyond Season 1’s 12 episodes.

In short: Season 1 is what’s on the schedule. Season 2 has not officially been greenlit. Fans are definitely hoping for more, especially because Hotaru and Hananoi’s relationship is just starting to move from “experiment” to “real,” and because both leads still have a lot of growing to do emotionally. This does not feel like a finished story, and viewers know it.

Why People Are Connecting With This Show

If you’re wondering why A Condition Called Love is getting this level of attention, here’s the heart of it:

• It treats first love like a process, not an instant switch. Hotaru is allowed to admit, over and over again, “I don’t know what I’m doing.” That honesty matters.
• Hananoi is needy, but not cartoonish. He’s not just “clingy boyfriend.” He’s a kid with abandonment issues trying to learn what healthy attachment even looks like.
• It’s not just fluffy. Yes, it’s sweet. Yes, it’s adorable. But it also quietly talks about what it means to feel unworthy of being chosen. That hits a lot of viewers right in the chest.

So if you’re caught up on the sub and waiting for the dub — or you’re dub-only and trying to plan your watch nights — now you know exactly when to expect Episodes 7 and 8 of A Condition Called Love in English, and what the full Season 1 dub rollout should look like.
