From the looks of it, the novel ALREADY had enough(gonna read it, annoyed with this crap already), the adaptation looks like some perversion(non-hentai) on the level of decaf coffee(like in Futurama S12E7, "We are aliens, not perverts!").
I like the dynamic of this series. Hope the exgf doesn't cause too much drama. Also, it's nice seeing the friends staying relevant and being actual good friends. Hope the MC doesn't distance from them.
