I like the guy friend well enough as a character, but does he really have to be more of a main character than the girlfriend?
I will mention on this point that this manga is more so about Himeno and her interactions with the people in her life (there are more characters later on besides Hajime) rather than just strictly being about her and Yoru's love life, if that wasn't clear already.
Granted, even when she's talking to someone else about some other topic it often wraps back around to being about Yoru in some way so...
There are multiple chapters about Yoru and/or the two together though (reminder we got 82 chapters to go)
I think part of why Hajime is so prominently featured too is that the author is primarily a BL writer, and Hajime actually existed in their doujins before Himeno came into existence, so he's sort of a foundational character for this universe. There's even an entire BL manga set in this same universe that's just about him where Himeno is just a small side character. So that's why I think the author wanted him to have an important role in this manga, as Hajime is clearly a dear character to the author.
But yeah I wanted to mention all this so people don't have the wrong expectations. You should consider this more of a slice of life kind of thing where romance is a bit more secondary (though it still plays a major role at multiple points)
