Ugh, another series has fallen to the 'lol so random xd' humor. It had a perfectly fine premise (visible love meters), and it was going great for some time, but then it started going reaaaally downhill with the meters affecting reality, and the 'holds up spork' random stuff that falls apart with even the slightest bit of thinking about it.

Shit, I'd take it being a crappy harem over whatever the fuck it's turning into.

I think you somehow missed the fact that this was an absurdist story from the start. The love meter acting like an actual vial of stuff that got so heavy it leaked out should have been a clue. I guess it's just not the story for you.

It wasn't, that's just the premise. It's like calling any isekai absurdist just cuz reincarnations from trucks don't happen in real life.
And as I said, I was enjoying it for the first 5-10 chapters. How a meter looks changes nothing. When it affects reality, it's an entirely different story altogether; and when characters start behaving very weird and uncharacteristic, it also changes my perception of the story.

....are they in MS or HS? Sometimes enough time passes you forget what grade level and age these characters are because of their looks. 😅😂
Most of the time you really only have the creator's say-so in deciding that, since they usually act about the same. And that often goes up to college age as. This is generally why I say "age is just a number" when it comes to manga, because it's all just so arbitrary and doesn't follow realistic maturity and appearance. And that's before you get into proper fantasy with various improbably aged races...
The answer is that they are in 2nd year HS.

My notes:

Kitami, Kanata (M)
o) ML
o) 2nd year HS
o) Marika's CHF
o) Unpopular
o) Crush on Marika but afraid to ruin things
o) Wished on a shooting start to be able to "understand other people's affection, just like in a game" and gets an affection meter for girls
o) Owns a Shiba dog
o) While under the influence of Marika's curry he rizzes up all of the girls at the school outdoor event

Chitose, Marika (F)
o) FL
o) Long brown hair
o) 2nd year HS
o) Kanata's CHF
o) Cute and unbelievably popular
o) Hates guys staring at her breasts
o) Affection meter is broken and goo is draining down, which Kanata interprets as disklike/hate but of course means that her love for him is so "heavy" that it broke under the weight
o) Her room is covered with pictures of Kanata
o) Sees Sayuki bashfully saying bye to Kanata and apparently activates yandere mode
o) Sees Kanata being hugged by Kokona in the park and freaks again with her meter getting an oni face
o) In answer to Tsubasa's questions she tells her that she's liked Kanata ever since she was a child
o) Hypnotized Tsubasa during a sleepover to turn her into a Kanata stan

Toyotomi, Sayuki (F)
o) Short silver hair with left side clips and multiple ear piercings including an industrial
o) 2nd year HS
o) Classmate who originally dislikes him
o) Kanata tries to be friend to her to raise her meter but it makes it worse
o) Meter goes up to first mark after Kanata helps Mashiro
o) Meter goes up to about 3/5 after Kanata praises her cooking and household skills
o) Had a dream about dating and being engaged to Kanata
o) Meter tops out with a bouquet of flowers
o) Tells Marika that she won't lose to her
o) Kanata hugs her and acts very suave while under the influence of Marika's curry and her affection meter blows fire from the top as she remembers her dream of a wedding with Kanata

Toyotomi, Mashiro (F)
o) Sayuki's kid sister
o) Kanata treated her skinned knee so she likes him with max meter with flowers
o) Calls Kanata big bro (onii-chan, probably)

Mikasa, Kokona (F)
o) Short light brown or blonde hair with right side braid
o) 2nd year HS
o) Classmate
o) Meter moves from 1/2 to nearly full when Kanata picks something from her hair
o) Owns a Golden Retriever named Chocolat/Chocola
o) Runs into Kanata in the park while they were walking their dogs and her meter almost fills, then he falls over and it crashes to near zero, then he catches her when her dog pulls her over and the meter maxes with flowers
o) After her bar maxes another bar starts up and fills halfway

Kitami, Tsubasa (F)
o) Short brown hair with pink ends in back
o) Age: 19
o) 1st Year Vocational student
o) Kanata's older sister
o) Full love meter with a scale on it
o) Brocon

Date, Hinami (F)
o) Blonde hair with two top knots
o) 3rd year HS
o) Delinquent but also Student Council executive
o) Attacked Kanata when he bumped into them on the aquarium date with Marika
o) Affection meter went to half when he pushed back
o) Marika defended Kanata, reveling that she had sang so badly in the tub the neighbors had complained
