Hum, Noa's behavior is not good. She's extremely dependent on Rihito, and she wants to be the center of his life, that's a big no...
DAYUMMMMMMMMMMM

I will comment this again, I am still unsure what the author thinks of Noa's behavior. Does the author think Noa's behavior is bad or good?

Getting mixed signals here.
Having read a lot of rom-coms, even yuri or BL, I got the impression that many authors on one hand are trying to make readers feel "this is literally me fr" by showing problems with toxic partners, and on the other, using it for "realistic" drama and comedy. Although I don't argue, some authors go so far that people in the West are ready to hate love interests as emotional (or even physical) domestic abusers. Especially when it comes to tsunderes. There's an adaptation of one LN airing right now where the main female lead literally gaslights the MC because he's too dense and she can't tell him how she feels directly.

It's fun as a joke, but this... is over the line and not really fun anymore... This is uncomfortable to read territory :worry:

If she's his girlfriend, that's one thing (well, quite a handful for sure, but she kinda in a position to demand that to an extent), but...
If she doesn't realize soon what she really wants... :shamihuh:

Idk, maybe you're looking too much for a very simple answer: some authors are just bad writers or have a weird, toxic and twisted idea of what a "good romance" is.
Not only in Japan, there's bad romantic stories everywhere and all the time. Let's not forget that time when Twilight or 50 shades of grey were popular.
Heck, even now "dark romance" is getting super popular, and those are just novels with monster fetish.
Funny how some of the most weird and toxic romance is made by women for women lmao

IF you don't like him getting married, figure out why you don't like him being happy with someone else.

Too little, too late.

"The heavy Rine user."
Well, not inaccurate.

"Maybe you should cut ties with her."
"You're being annoying."
At least he values her enough to not take people trash talking her. Even his own sister.

If you surprise people, be prepared to have your plans surprisingly blocked.

If she says she's more important than his own family, that's like a marriage proposal she has no idea she's making.

Now she's just hysterical.

Needed a drink before doing that.

Different things happen. You're right, there are many works that literally either idealize toxic relationships or don't even realize it. For example, I remember one manga where manipulating a partner for sex was played out as an ironic comedy. Or where the MC was accused of being selfish because of his sincere desire to help his beloved girl. But in this case, I was talking about romantic comedies, reading which you could shake your head and say "wakaru, wakaru".
