Bike's manga / #childhood-friends(2)

Interesting. Childhood friends get together, even though the love's unrequited. Pushing and prodding from the one with unrequited feelings leads into...something else, pertaining to the other guy---psychological trauma, Oedipus Complex-esque. It's a strange back-and-forth; things progress, but their feelings remain about the same. Feels like we're watching two sides, waiting for the moment where one of them collapses into the other. I liked the side dude. He reminds me of another character, but he's still interesting. --- Notes for myself below. - No sexual urges. First-glance, Problematic asexuality trope => Oedipus Problem(?) => Sex Repression/Repulsion

Hole-in-the-wall gimmick but with childhood friends. Friend's in debt, hence him being there. They manage to blackmail a senior into paying for most of it, with the MC working there as a cleaner to help him pay off the rest. Cameo from the incest version of this series. He's the one who tries (poorly) to give the MC advice on how to treat his friend.
