I really enjoy stories where the author talks about how ostracizing romance and romantic intentions can be, but I feel like the storyline only really shows up in romance anime where the (usually male) character has to be in love with the female protagonist, which honestly degrades the whole point a little bit. "I love that you're not just seeing me as a romantic partner" is a great motivation, and there's no real reason to make that the reason they fall in love, yanno?
