 “You’ll never give someone else happiness by throwing away your own!” 

This manga has a surprisingly mature look at a character going through the aftermaths of grief and trauma-bonding. 

Also, I can’t hate Toma.  He’s so lovingly honest and knows how to communicate. Nothing wrong with making your interest known, but you can’t force it either.
