So ok this was good, but also a lot for his character. I really don’t think he should be friends with Itsuomi since he constantly disrespects his boundaries, but I don’t think he’s a good friend to Yuki I think he should just step away from both of them. With his other two friends, they are not the best because why are they trying to homewreak a relationship for him and she doesn’t want to get with him like what??? And people might be saying well what about the girl? Well, what about her? What do we really know about her like genuinely because I’m looking around in the comments and people barely know her name. I really think this is such an interesting way to handle the second male lead, and the ball isn’t only being dropped, it’s rolling down the hill. I feel like people forget that is OK to go through character development away from people who may wish the best for you, but are ultimately hindering you ( in the case of those three guys) or someone who can’t help you ( in the case of yuki)
I don’t think he need a love interest. I think he needs better friends and a better support system! And to move far away!
