Some of you seem to have a hard time understanding this, but Adachi didn’t actually tell Shimamura she loves her. That’s why the ‘confesssion’ text bubble is scribble, that’s why Shimamura is reacting like nothing happened. Comparing this to We Can’t Draw Love is like comparing a ripe and delicious apple to a sour and rotted lemon. This story feels natural and the writing is very nice and refreshing. It doesn’t need to have some fantastically original concept to be an original peice.
