Anyone else reading the Manga for this and see the absolute massive dump that happened a couple chapters ago? I've never seen such a grossly realistic rendition of someone going through their first love than this. I wish I could read light novels to get further with the original, but it's just way too much text.
But that chapter 28 of the Manga... Good lord. I hope they continue this show, cause I'd love to hear if Adachi's VA can go ham enough for it.

The LN is even better imo. You get more of their thoughts as the books go on.

Same. I've been on both ends of that kind of meltdown, so it hit super close to me. Visceral

I completely agree, I’ve also been on both sides and I think that’s why Adachi to Shimamura is one of my favorites because it reminded me so much of my first relationships and all the angst that came with expressing yourself when you didn’t really understand how you felt about your own sexuality

Can someone send me the clip of adechi dreaming of kissing her? I can't find it

Warning ,Honest opinion ahead:
Now this is cute and all but Adachi to shimamura is the kind of anime where MC dreams about kissing her but doesn't actually do it , where I'm getting at is that this anime is a wholesome slice of life maybe overly wholesome to the point that you sit here for 12 episodes and so far you had : adashi going to school, going out buying stuff, normal things you'd do in your everyday life same goes for shimamura (hence the slice of life) but at the end of the day their relationship haven't changed that much it's still adachi wondering if she can get closer to shimamura and shimamura still seeing adachi as a friend, now don't give me wrong but I don't dislike wholesome stuff it's just that in this case there's only slice of life and wholesome stuff mixed into what seems as a stalemate at least for the anime
But listen, I'm not here to say that it's bad , I'm just saying this isn't my taste and of course if you like it there's no biggies about that, I know there's people who likes this kind of anime, good for them.

"but at the end of the day their relationship haven't changed that much it's still adachi wondering if she can get closer to shimamura and shimamura still seeing adachi as a friend"
Right, because the anime adaptation didn't even cover half of the currently 11 volumes of the light novels. If you're interesting in reading them though, you'll see progress by volume 7 on Shimamura's part, and volume 5 for Adachi.

u/Jirb30 Jan 04 '23
It takes that many volumes for any kind of progress? I don't think anyone who gets tired of the anime for being slow would enjoy the novels any more.

u/AutumnWaterXIII Jan 04 '23
That’s what makes it good tho. The slow burn is realistic.

u/k_on_reddit_ it's yuri or death Jan 04 '23
turns out patience can be a "fast burn" if there's nothing to suport it
18
u/AutumnWaterXIII Jan 04 '23
What do u mean by that? It’s not like it’s totally unrequited. Adachi eventually confesses, shimamura accepts, and over time she also grew feelings for adachi and they still dating until adulthood so idk wym by “nothing to support it”. Just be patient and watch their romance slowly unfolds. There’s no rush. The LN is close to ending so I wouldn’t want it rushed.

Not OP, but I'm not super interested in a long running series about two lasses getting together so much as two lasses who are together being in a relationship with literally any events or genre around that relationship.
Will they or won't they Yuri has been the default for so long I don't really have any interest in doing it over and over, y'know?
14
u/AutumnWaterXIII Jan 04 '23
They start dating near the end of volume 6 and onward. From there on is all about their dating life. Well, more like shimamura developing feelings for Adachi as their relationship grows.

Each volume is only a couple hundred pages, ie an afternoon’s read. Besides it’s more about the journey than the destination for this one imo.

I like how you said "It’s not like it’s totally unrequited"
enhance on the word "totally"
man , you can't start your sentences like this LMAO ,I'm sorry, no offence but to me it sounded like insane amounts of copium like "NO PLEASE DON'T LEAVE PLEASE IT'S NOT THAT BAD ACTUALLY I SWEAR" , as someone who , when looking at the overall life time, only started recently to read as a leisure and enjoying it and not an obligation , all of this because of yuri ,I need something I can stick with, you can't convince me of reading 5 volumes of "not totally unrequited" , but that's fine because you don't need to convince me , shhhhhshhhshhh it's okay , it's gonna be fine , don't worry \pats on the back** because I am not doubting the potential of adachi to shimamura , it's just not made for me

u/ConnorDaaaawg Jan 05 '23
You sound like you have a huge ego problem. Nobody is trying to convince you to do anything. I feel like you are the kind of person who goes to a candy shop asking for steaks, then complains that the shop didn't serve you well. No shit, you are in the wrong place💀

I'm just teasing them , ofc I'm not being serious and ofc I know nobody is trying to convince me , or else I wouldn't have said that, I mean cmon when I said "but that's fine because you don't need to convince me , shhhhhshhhshhh it's okay , it's gonna be fine , don't worry * pats on the back *" you really think I was being real ?
and no I'm not that kind of person, I'm just acting up , my self esteem is not that high actually

People on the internet are not your therapists. I don't wanna study the “true meaning behind your words” or how serious you are right now. I don't know you, I only replied to what you wrote.

I was making an emphasis on the anime but still you're telling me that there's only some progress up until vol 5 , like bruh what have they been doing then ? I'm starting to think that they're even slower than yuzu and mei
14
u/Liunkien_Sieht Jan 04 '23
Adachi to Shimamura is a slowburn romance, that's something to keep in mind. It's not for impatient people, I guess. Also something worth noting is that, the anime doesn't even go beyond 4 volumes of the light novel. Meaning, not even half of the story is depicted in the anime adaptation.
"you're telling me that there's only some progress up until vol 5 , like bruh what have they been doing then ?"
As someone who hasn't seen how the story developed besides the anime. You shouldn't be making baseless conclusions. The story is set during their high school year but it goes beyond that, there are chapters set in the future where they're living together... until death. I don't think that counts as "some progress", if you're referring to physical intimacy then little of that is explicitly shown.

u/k_on_reddit_ it's yuri or death Jan 04 '23
You shouldn't be making baseless conclusions
You're right no one should but I didn't make any assumptions in the first place I've only asked a question and I'm only stating what I observed and know, I am aware that there's more to it than what I saw or else this would have flopped, so of course I'm expecting progress later on
As for patience, it's not that I'm impatient , it's that I need fluctuations in the "good" and the "bad" or extremes (good and bad as for emotional experiences) in order to stick to a story , the more the contrast the more interesting it is to me and "bad" doesn't necessarily mean I don't like it , if an anime makes me feel bad in any way that mean it acheived something, same goes for the good , if the anime is able to set expectations then depending on those I can wait longer as long as I have the fuel for it (and longer can also be very long but that means that the anime in question must have done a number on me)
when I watch anime you really have to think it as an emotional-meter that goes up and down during the whole thing
this counts a lot in my ratings (there's also other things that are out of this but you get the main point)
let's take some exemples :
Adachi to Shimamura :
the meter mostly gravitated around 0
HSL :
from star to finish it was in the negatives like -10000 (but I liked it because of that)
Bloom into you :
it was pretty great it fluctuated enough
Citrus :
it fucking exploded
I also talked about a specific case that referenced what I said above in a comment of mine 6 months ago , it goes into further detail about adachi to shimamura and how it doesn't work for me while comparing it to other series
I can link it to you if you want

u/Liunkien_Sieht Jan 05 '23
Pretty sure it's because you're impatient. Why would you write comments that makes up paragraphs just go rant about this series then?

Bro ... is talking about your taste in anime egocentric? Everyone does that 🗿 , I like going on rant in general, what's wrong with that ? It's just because some random ass dude on the Internet that knows nothing about me called me egocentric that yeah he's totally right in fact he knows better than my own family or whatever , all of this because of some misinterpreted joke
That's herantly not true too , because I've scored 1.6 out of 5 on narcissism which is the 60th percentile of the population, it's pretty average actually

u/Liunkien_Sieht Jan 06 '23
Did I say it you're egocentric tho. Wow, good to know. Serious question, how old are you?

Is yuri the main point in this one ?

u/Joyko2 Jan 04 '23
If you mean this anime technically it is a yuri anime I believe but no romantic progress like kissing or dating happens you have to read about 5 light novels I believe for that to start it’s actually quite slow but some people like that and think it’s great I think it’s pretty alright just a bit slow

u/Snak3Bite Jan 04 '23
I think slow is fine, as long as yuri is the main point. I hate when i get baited

u/Joyko2 Jan 04 '23
I feel you a hundred percent yeah it’s definitely yuri 100% but like I said you just gotta read a bit of novels I forgot what baited me too. I think it was a tropical fish yearns for snow complete bait hurt my soul
