Dude, I've seen your comments around and I feel that you're so bitter about things. This is a very gentle play on typical shoujo manga tropes. A friend is clearly struggling so you spend time with him and listen to his troubles...BEGONE THOT!!!
It's fine if you're sick of the tropes themselves beyond recovery, we all have our red lines, but it's more you than this manga. Compared to many of its peers and from a regular reader's perspective, this is all calm seas, light winds, and bright suns, with no krakens in sight.
