Ah, Adachi's so happy from just a few words from Shima. ^_^ If only she knew...

this is why i like this series so much bc instead of being a cute fluffy romance, its an introspective character study between two girls who arent perfect, which is pretty cool.

Mmhmm that’s me as well. The changing perspectives do a good job highlighting that relationships are two-way roads. They’re already teenagers, which makes everything awkward, but they’re also not exactly equipped for their situation either. Adachi’s mom is neglectful, poor girl has no idea how to interact with people, and Shimamura isn’t exactly a champ at the whole “friends” thing herself. It’s always an interesting back and forth between them and, as is the case for most good drama, I care much more about seeing them happy and fulfilled than I do just seeing them together because they’re the “main couple”

Speaking of the back and forth, I always loved how the upcoming mental breakdown places the ball squarely in Shimamura’s hands. Even if she doesn’t understand everything Adachi says, she gets to sit on how her perception of her has changed. I reeeeeeally like that, even if it takes a painful chapter to get there.

This is a very solid point. It's refreshing to read a story where the two main protag have real flaws that the author isn't shy about showing. Adachi is a giant mess at times and at her worst she can be downright toxic. Shimamura uses her ''go with the flow/ lazy girl'' persona to cover up a lot of very real insecurities and abandonment issues. These are less than perfect young people and it's fun to see them figure stuff out and improve.

Funny how desperate Tarumi sounds and how Shimamura keeps thinking about Adachi.

Yeah, I always feel really bad for Tarumi :( She's not a bad person and she truly cares a lot about Shimamura but she's just doomed from the get-go to be the third wheel. Poor girl.

It really has always been the best indicator for Shima also falling for Adachi that she keeps thinking about her even when spending time with other people, especially poor Tarumi.

Tarumi is this series's equivalent to Sayaka from Bloom Into You. You end up loving the character and you want them to get their happiness too, but you know it isn't going to be with the one they want.

Well, the author of the AdaShima novels also wrote Sayaka's spin-off, so the two series are sort of related.

I think Tarumi's anxiety can be encapsulated in her drawing of a "smiling" Shimamura.

Really good spinoff too, though the first girl that fell in love with Sayaka still breaks my heart, doubly so with her little cameo in the last volume.

Ahhhh Tarumi.... I've really come to like her a lot, perhaps more than the two main characters... it's just so tragic and I can really sympathize with her

I'm imagining something like this stretched over seven pages.

The pain is coming , made even worst by the fact that no one is really at fault here :⁠‑⁠X Also, Shimamura really suffers from the ''flirty without meaning to '' curse pretty bad, the girl is smooth AF in the laziest way possible.

As usual, Shima can't help but end up thinking about Adachi in the middle of all this as well.
