Kine-san no Hitori de Cinema (木根さんの1人でキネマ, Kine-san no Hitori de Kinema; lit. 'Kine's One-Woman Cinema'), also known as I Love Cinema, I Am Lonely, is a Japanese web manga series written and illustrated by Asai [ja]. It was serialized in Hakusensha's Young Animal Densi [ja] website from April 2015 until May 2017, and later moved to Manga Park [ja] in August of that same year. Its chapters have been collected in eleven tankōbon volumes as of July 2025.

The series follows Machiko Kine, a single office worker in her thirties, as she watches movies and shares her thoughts on them in her blog. Each chapter focuses on a different film, with Machiko humorously recounting her viewing experiences and personal reactions. Some episodes feature fictional movies that parody common cinematic tropes. The story revolves around her daily life, blending her passion for film.
