The progression between Adachi to Shimamura is honestly one of the best-paced couples I've seen yet, there's no random sex scene implementation to signify a new height that the characters have reached, it's just the bond they've built up which SHOWS you just from their interactions how close they are. The world-building done is absolutely superb as well. Yashiro for example, has introduced a whole entire other species living on various planets, some even living amongst the humans. You could literally create numerous theories about Yashiro ALONE. This directly ties into my next statement, the characters in the show are done so wonderfully. One thing I can appreciate is the minimum amount of side characters in this show, most scenes are focused on Adachi and Shimamura together, or the two individually. The times we do see important things involving side characters they usually get their own volumes (Hino and Nagafuji along with Tarumi at times.) This is something that plenty of series mess up, too many POVs CAN ruin the main couple's experience. I'm thankful they avoided that.
My last and final thing to add. Since this is a spoiler, I will clarify this. Shimamura loves Adachi, PERIOD. Sometimes it's hard to tell, it really is, but Shimamura's love for Adachi is one thing that I don't want any of you to doubt. Shimamura is a character that I truly love so when I see her get hated on by speed readers it certainly does upset me. Shimamura's personality in this show is all over the place, especially as a child. But deep down she really loves Adachi and would do anything for her, as you read you will experience this firsthand. That's all from me, enjoy reading <3
