      And “glorifying unhealthy relationships” is fine enough critique I suppose but one that hardly applies solely, or even primarily, to manga and anime.

      Almost every rom-com I can think of.

          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.
