honestly it was a case where i just was sooooo frustrated by the main character! i know it was an exploration of depression and isolation, and there were some nice moments in that journey, but the mc was just... such an asshole lol and then when he assaulted that girl without the story really addressing it at all that kinda sealed the deal for me. and once i despised the main character, it was a lot harder for the themes to hit hahaha your mileage may vary! the animation was quite good, it's just that character spoiled it so much for me. (also it was one i watched with a friend and we were having fun roasting him, so that surely contributed lol)
Ase to Sekken is not romcom btw, its adult relationship romance and probably one of if not the best on that theme, it's seriously so good.
oh, yea other good gimmicks I really recommend checking is:
Yankee-kun to Hakujou Girl https://myanimelist.net/manga/118712/
One of the most wholesome and yet very grounded and straight to the point on 'educating' people about people with disability
Kurosagi Shitai Takuhaibin https://myanimelist.net/manga/1161/
Honestly been decades since I last read it but all I remember is everything about this is working and very entertaining
Gokicha https://myanimelist.net/manga/22597/
I actually have some dirty cry reading this lol it's so evil for trying to make a relatable work under moe roaches lmao
Boku no Tsuma wa Kanjou ga Nai https://myanimelist.net/manga/128356/
Start as an amusing slice of life but goes deeper into a 'do robot dreams of electric sheep' kinda vibe later on
Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia https://myanimelist.net/manga/121213/
Just like Ase to Sekken the way they do their main 'connection' gimmick is phenomenal
Voynich Hotel https://myanimelist.net/manga/25250/
Dowman Sayman is the kind of guy that would be on this list and it's a good starter manga of him to try
Nekogurui Minako-san https://myanimelist.net/manga/70783/
You know those pics where Shoko Nakagawa put cats on her mouth? It's inspired by that but the unhinged is multiple by a hundred
Mukasete Ryuugasaki-san https://myanimelist.net/manga/118301/
One of my favorite gormless MCs, you should read it until you reach "THAT" chapter and judge it yourself.
Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete https://myanimelist.net/manga/120680/
Another good stuff where everything the author wants to do is working and it's also made by the same mangaka above
Misetagari no Tsuyuno-chan https://myanimelist.net/manga/129868/
I'm sorry for recommending this but god, it's completely for the most gormless of people and that's what makes it so good.
