Half the drama in all romance, not just rom-coms, would be entirely avoided if relevant characters were engaging in healthy adult communication. Anime is far from the worst offender in the unhealthy relationships regard.
So true. I’d even go so far as to say that healthy relationships are rarely displayed in fiction full stop, because they’re usually not interesting. Typically they’re limited to side characters in a healthy relationship who are meant to be the “straight man” for the main character to be eccentric around.
Almost every rom-com I can think of.
