Seriously there’s so little good relatable or at least aspirational romance & relationships in anime in general. I mean going beyond infatuation and cheesy soap opera garbage.
And when it exists it turns up in the most unexpected shows.
The best relationship I can think of is Golden Kamuy.
it’s still so fucked up that the bloom into you anime stops literally two episodes before the end of the story. proof they hate us. so little of the good stuff gets adapted.

Have you read the manga? The anime stops at the halfway mark, clearly planning for a second season that they didn’t get. There’s a lot more to the story that has to be resolved before they reach a healthy point and can reflect on just how silly a lot of the driving conflict was.

Target audience for a lot of it is 13-17 year old boys…

oh oops it has been a while since i read the manga, i thought they wouldnt have needed a whole second season… soo sad.
If you want actually well written relationships I’d recommend “How Do We Relationship?”
Some parts are hard to read through — as relationships often are — but it’s so worth it.
