What do you people recommend for a good grown up romance anime that doesn't make you feel like crap? (lemmings.world)

Most of the romance anime I've seen are based on a high school setting or something similar.

They were good and all but all have this typical format with the usual shenanigans like Love triangle, beach and fireworks festival episodes, useless love interests that have a shelf life of a hamburger... Etc.

And the memorable ones have me feeling nostalgia for memories I've never even had. And in some cases its almost like waking up after a fever dream but with chest pain.

P.S - From the top of my head- the only grown up romance setting I can think of is Wotakoi. Maybe it's time I venture more into K-dramas for the romance, I remember seeing one named "Twentyfive twentyone" which was absolutely amazing.

Oregairu could be something you could like. While it's setting is typical, it is much more atypical in how it deals with the romance.

Oregairu was really well executed. I really liked it. I kinda feel bad for the second girl with the pink hair ( I think her name was Yuigahama? ).

Oh man I feel old now.... Its been what? 4 or 5 years since it got it's final season anime adaptation huh.. I was watching it while it was still airing.

On a completely unrelated note, I think it was last year when I watched an anime called "The terrors in my heart" it was one of the memorable ones I've seen as of late. I just remembered it when you mentioned Oregairu for some reason.
