@exxp , I cant really think of any, specifically bc I don't really like this manga's vibe, but like really any series about people who feel alienated from others whether through like their personality or social conditions. So like Hatarakanai Futari, Teppu, Sayonara Watashi no Cramer, It's Not My Fault I'm Not Popular, or even Evangelion all approach subjects who feel disconnected from what's regarded as like normative human nature and normal human experiences, despite that, as readers, we're still made to understand and empathize with their experiences. and like there's really no shortage of literature that's made from that perspective either like there's The Stranger, Crime and Punishment, No Longer Human,etc. So when a narrative points to a disorder as the primary cause behind a characters actions, it feels like a copout, like where other characters will get pasts and circumstances as motivations its not really necessary in the case of a character with a disorder or disability. Like even within the context of disability there are wide ranging social and societal factors that lead to people making specific decisions or being placed in disadvantageous circumstances. This manga is too short to flesh out either the character or the social context she exists in, so it ends up feeling more flimsy as a result
