Here is how I understand:
1- > The first page of chapter 2 where his former crush part ways with him seems to happen when they are already Adults (see clothing in high school they wore gakuran) so to me he only confessed to his friend many years later and for some reason his friend couldnt continue their friendship.
2-> when he was in a abusive relationship with Ishijima (no love, only lust he used to call out his friend name during sex)he was still friends with his crush and his crush still didnt know about his feelings. Also the MC was in another city far away from his friend.
3-> We still dont know exactly how abusive his relationship with Ishijima was nor why Ishijima left him nor why his childhood friend decided to end to their friendship. Also yeah Ishijima is back now.
PS: to me when his friend went out with a giril in highschool he had no clue the MC liked him yet. Also his friend name is Hisashi and the jerk name is Ishijima.
I get the feeling Ishijima was responsable for ruining their friendship like directly responsable but this is only a supposition.
I'm not sure if i got it correctly... correct me if i'm wrong ....
So our main confessed to his friend and he didn't accept and then went out with a girl
Then he meets this manager of a restaurant he's working at or will work at and begins to have a relationship with him (with love or without love?) ... that guy leaves him for his job and then our main meets our other main ... and then suddenly this manager returns to his old workplace ... our mains restaurant
Is this what happened?
I guess this development will help him to let go of his past and enjoy being together with his hina (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
Hopefully ...
