The FL in this cute high school romcom story is pretty strongly ADHD-coded.

The main couple smack of neurodivergence, though very different types. Protag gives me vibes of a very intelligent and intuitive autistic, who likes people while also struggling with social cues, emotions and relationships.

Just learned about this series after watching the first episode of the anime, and I'm already preemptively claiming the protagonist for the autists. Flat affect? Check.

Great depiction of an autistic meltdown!
