^ this isn’t a bildungsroman, it’s a fluffy slow burn romance with quite a bit of introspection. They don’t help each other overcome issues in bloom into you either (only mentioning because it’s popular). Both adachi and shimamura have trouble connecting with others. The fact that they find comfort in each other is a small step forward. Adachi’s possessiveness is unhealthy af, but unfortunately, the majority of manga/anime characters have toxic traits. Try to not let it stop you from enjoying the story
