i love this manga, but it honestly doesn't feel like a romance. the way adachi and shimamura interact just feels so.. empty?? adachi is super anxious and clingy and shimamura is hella emotionally detached, i'm hoping they communicate and work out their problems soon because otherwise their relationship's gonna continue with this strained, uncomfortable air.. either that or they'll have a fight and break up. you can only hang onto someone so detached for so long, especially when you're THAT codependent, until you either blow up or burn out.
honestly, every chapter feels almost like buildup for some sort of inevitable moment where everything goes wrong. every event for whatever reason always seems like its told through the frame of recollection, not like it's actively happening.
