Examples include 'Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku,' which portrays realistic relationships between adult otaku; 'Aggretsuko,' which explores the frustrations of modern romance alongside workplace stress; and some works that deconstruct the 'damsel in distress' trope by giving female characters agency and independence in their romantic pursuits.
