Ya the romance isn't necessary but it could be the author showing us how he's still a highschool boy too, ya know?
I don’t like the black haired girl either. I really was hoping that she’d get scared and stay away from the MC after he killed the guy who killed his cat. But then she stuck around and I ended up hoping that she would just get killed to remove her from the scenario.
Anyway, I thought the point of her presence in the MC’s life was for that evil leader girl to kill her so the MC would suffer emotional pain once again, but now I’m starting to think that she’ll just be another murderer whose victim will be the MC’s childhood friend she’s so jealous of.
That sounds like a plausible scenario
Is the romance really necessary?
Well at least the 2nd girl doesn't annoy me as much as the 1st girl. But then again it could be a trap.
