Like clockwork, the friend of the female lead shows up to viscously, and unjustly, berate the male lead while maintaining an unhealthy obsession with her friend. I don't get why mangaka put these kinds of characters in their romance manga, or why some readers not only tolerate it, but also encourage it. It's like they want to see some yuri fanservice added to the manga, but they don't want to read any shoujo-ai/yuri manga. It's like that college humor video that portrays a gender swapped version of Brokeback Mountain, where all the guys are encouraging the two cowgirls to continue their sexual relationship, but at the end of the video when the two women get married the same guys go "Now this is f*cking gross."
