the guy w the goatee is akisawa, who was a senior when itome, shikatani, and akemi were first years, and the black-haired guy is minami (was also a senior). they've both graduated but minami will prob come back since he has a history w akemi.
when it comes to shikatani's love interest, my bet's on itome, but i'm one of the only people who ship them together :')
Who's that guy with the goatee that slept(?) with Shikatani and why haven't we seen him and the guy with black hair every since the flashback and the picture that was shown in one of the previous chapters? Are they from some other work of the Author that hasn't been translated yet? Like after seeing everything that's going on with Shikatani, i just hope that there is going to be some sort of love interest coming into the story that cares for him and gets him out of this toxic situation, since it seems like the childhood friend only sees him as a good friend.
