What can you say to him in this situation? Not much. They at least try to take his mind off it by inviting him to karaoke and mentioning the "not attend club due to poor grades" thing, which shows they have SOME concern for him.

The only one who is close enough is Yuki and she is the reason of most of his sufferings (specially in ch 19 but even before).

I will see when the translation gets there. I still lol'd at this since he would be fine due to him not getting close to Shou at all if it wasn't for Yuki.

All others are not friends.
Is the monkey a friend? What kind of friend is that if he cannot read even the most obvious Utsu's expressions and does not see if he is sad or not? He just the friend with whome you can talk about babes and who can lend you his porno magazines - nothing more.
Eri is too distant to be a real friend. She is just you basically energetic girl liking to help and being in the center of events but no-one really close.
Or maybe is that play-boy friend who cares more about how to lay a babe than about his friend?
Really, he does not have friends. Just some guys who are tagging alone. The only friend would be Yuki but again - because she is becoming the center of his tortures lately he cannot talk to her as well.

I don't see anything wrong at all in how they acted. What would you expect, for them to throw pity at him? It's not like they are laughing[at him] directly in his face. To me, they seem to stay within context of each of their personalities, which i find quite refreshing than the former(throwing pity). Also, I don't see how Eri is 'too distant'. Eri's technically doing for Utsu to Yuki as Yuki did to Utsu and Shou, just in her own way. She's simply shown concern, and only seems frivolous because of her personality, but i think she has the best intentions in mind, even if the end results are going to be painful.
